I've been really happy with EasyDNS over the past 10-20 years... definitely not the cheapest registrar but well worth it in my opinion. They offer several pricing plans, but I like the $40/year registration and backup mail spool. If your main MX server goes down, I believe they hold your email on the secondary for up to a week? Cheap insurance at $3/month. Been very happy with support (live person picks up the phone, and generally is an engineer). Web interface is nice, they support standard privacy screen functions for whois, and generally seem to be good people.

My only affiliation with them is as a happy customer.

Why isn't it possible to go through some kind of a search tree and prune the solution set?

I guess to parametrize the theory it takes something other than masses of elementary particles and a few constants?

If I had that big of a solution set I'd definitely try to search through it. If one string theory solution can give me a predict() function that I can verify, I'll find a way to parametrize it (deep neural networks, graph data structures) and then check if predict() matches the predictions we know.
The pop out handles are mostly for wank factor to impress people.

The safest option would be to have model 3 style handles, but with an actuator to partially pop them out when you approach the car so they don't suck to use.

That way you get aerodynamic benefits, bling of the handles popping out, and a failsafe in an accident because they can be pressed manually.
When I was travelling the US for a few months I drove the old Mojave road. at the end you pas by some lava tubes[1]. about 30min before that place there was a stranded Ford Mustang with a couple in it. They got stuck in the sand, had no water, no food and no means to get out. The were on their way to Las Vegas and wanted to see the tubes. they just followed Google maps.

Another time in I encountered another tourist in the middle of nowhere in Nevada, totally lost. Again, blindely followed Google Maps.

In Death Valley I crossed tourists in a rented SUV who wanted to cross over the Lippincott Pass to get to the Racetrack Playa, again following Google Maps. I talked them into turning around, there was no way they were going to make it. Also, they were not prepared at all (no water, food, etc.)

In Ecuador, Google Maps lead me down a mountain road which turned into a mountain bike track. I made it out in one piece, it made for a good story[2] but it is pretty damn dangerous.

If you are in a remote area, always double check google maps suggested, eg. with an OSM based map.

There are so many such solutions, that It depends on your use cases.

If you're looking for high-level dashboarding/monitoring that connects directly with your sources (REST, 3rd-party apps like Facebook, Adwords, etc), then tools in the realm of Klipfolio, Databox, Grow.com will suit you well. If you're looking for visualization tools that connect to your data-warehouse/SQL database, then BI tools like Holistics, Metabase, Redash, etc will likely work for you. And of course there's tools that can support both kinds of sources, like PowerBI and Google Data Studio.

P/s: This post does a good job at laying down a framework for evaluating these sort of BI tools: https://www.holistics.io/books/setup-analytics/navigating-th...

As someone who takes an ACE inhibitor, I've just tried to read up and ACE inhibitors are for ACE-1, not ACE-2. They are two different things. ACE-1 is a precursor that generates the protein/enzyme that eventually connects to the ACE-2 receivers on cell walls that SARS-Cov-2 uses to invade cells.

Reading https://theconversation.com/what-is-the-ace2-receptor-how-is...

there is a section that explains the difference between ACE-1 inhibitors (like in ramipril etc) and ACE-2 inhibitors.

Given the choice, yes but anything now is better than something in a few months, time, especially looking at current UK mortality rates. These are now rivalling the first wave, even with treatments learning in the last nine months and NHS fully geared up.
Can’t companies migrate away from the US in that case?

Sure it’s unthinkable, but if they don’t have any presence in the states you can’t sue a foreign company for doing business on the internet?

The vaccine was developed prior to the end of the transition agreement, and the UK already had protocols for approving vaccines before rest of the EU (see Pfizer).

70% efficacy in that case wouldn’t prevent an epidemic, but since it prevents hospitalisations and severe effects of the disease it’s still worth it.
I believe the UK has relatively few orders of the Moderna vaccine whereas they are highly reliant on the Oxford one. Makes sense for the regulatory to put all resources on Oxford once Biontech had been approved and then (I presume) look at Moderna next.
I want to love Metabase, I really do. But some of the UI decisions are mind boggling. Why is accessing reports and dashboards so difficult? Things are hidden away under poorly named constructs. Buttons don't do what I'd expect them to do...

It's great but it comes with a few drawbacks.
<70% effectiveness is...not so great to say the least when you have vaccines from BioNTech and Moderna at 95% effectiveness already.
Does anyone have a good link for the current status of the Gamaleya (Sputnik V) vaccine? I’ve been hearing and reading a lot of FUD about it, but if you were to take the (self reported) stats in this BBC article at face value it looks like one of the best options.

I found eg this Wired article that talks a lot about the geopolitical maneuvering of Russia/China/India in Africa and South America: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/russia-covid-vaccine-sputnik...

But really, despite a lot of pejorative language in there -- “Once they have this relationship, they can extort whatever they want” -- it just sounds like the same strategy the UK has been attempting (both politically, and in terms of vaccine development and approval), except the Russian version sounds more successful so far.

Edit to add: apologies in advance for dragging politics into this! But it seems like politics and vaccines are unfortunately intertwined.

>1. The differences between ethnic groups starts early in childhood. It's about the role models kids have. It's about how much time their parents spend with them and how much they nag on them to study. It is totally fixable if we generally focus on promoting independent thinking, long-term planning and delayed gratification.

So besides not answering the question asked of you, you assert without sources that Black parents don't give a shit about their kids' futures and that Black people can't hold in their urges enough to plan for the future and think independently. I'm curious, how do you think they got through life to even apply at Coinbase in the first place without possesing any of those attribues? Humor me, did you acually even look up the CVs of the Black Coinbase employees? That would at least raise the standard of discussion from the realm of racial platitude.

> Everyone can do this, it's hard but absolutely possible. But instead, our society is trying to erase these values by penalizing those who were raised with them.

Wait, so these Black employees didn't do "this" or possess the qualities you expouse? How did you find this out without resorting to common tropes about Black people?

>. Like it or not, there are behavioral differences between men and women. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but there are differences, especially when it comes to risk-taking and multitasking.

OK, so could you explain how this extrapolates to working at Coinbase given the pay gap occured in the lowest rungs of positions according to the article? My guess is we're not even talking positions that're responsible for putting out "web scale" fires, much like how frontend devs at Google aren't doing genius shit all day
> Under libertarianism, your rights are inalienable, and supersede contractual rights. Hence, you cannot sell yourself into slavery

This seems to be debated both in popular libertarian forums [1] and among academics [2]. I haven't read source [2] in detail, but at a quick glance I can offer the following quote (p. 41):

"At the extreme right would be the libertarian philosophy I shall defend which maintains that everything should be legally alienable or commodifiable."

Robert Nozick himself seems to support the idea of voluntary slavery [3]:

"Most controversially, and unlike Locke and Kant, Nozick argued that consistent application of self-ownership and non-aggression principle[10] would allow and regard as valid consensual or non-coercive enslavement contracts between adults. He rejected the notion of inalienable rights advanced by Locke and most contemporary capitalist-oriented libertarian academics, writing in Anarchy, State, and Utopia that the typical notion of a "free system" would allow adults to voluntarily enter into non-coercive slave contracts."

> Libertarianism only applies to legally consenting adults. Others (like children) have additional legal rights, such as not being bound by contracts.

Again, it seems that leading libertarian theorists would disagree. Take Murray Rothbard for one [4]:

"In Rothbard's view of parenthood, "the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights".
Thus, Rothbard stated that parents should have the legal right to let any infant die by starvation and should be free to engage in other forms of child neglect. However, according to Rothbard, "the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children". In a fully libertarian society, he wrote, "the existence of a free baby market will bring such 'neglect' down to a minimum"."

> the US was a reasonable approximation to a free market in its first century [...] This also saw the greatest mass rise from poverty to wealth the world has ever seen.

I'm sure the American indians, the original inhabitants of the continent, would not exactly agree that the outcomes of that century were so great. Also, to my knowledge, the award for greatest rise from poverty would go to the China of recent decades (not a particularly nice place).

> excluding the slave south

You really shouldn't.

> and went from subsistence farming to superpower

Not in its first century. That happened a bit later, once the US was a far more centralized entity with a far stronger federal government (again, I don't think becoming a superpower is a good thing or a good argument for free markets).

> As for other countries, the more they embraced free markets, the more they prospered.

Do you have any arguments or examples for this?

I suppose there are not that many engineering students or ham radio operators in the poorer parts of the cities, where I for myself think that these things will first be used internally. At least video-cameras you can try and bring them down with simple rocks [1] or by cutting the electricity down on that pole (that is if they're not battery-powered), not so easy with these type of machines.

For me, as an OSM contributorm it was incredibly sad to read

> the incredible year OpenStreetMap is having, largely because of enormous investment from Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Mapbox (FAAMm)

Their contributions were (as far as I know) not really important compared to what was contributed by hobbyists, and overall their activities likely caused more damage than benefit. Mostly due to associating OSM with toxic brands such as Facebook or Amazon and discouraging new contributors.

Note that linked article seems to be not supporting this claim that 2020 is successful for OSM mostly due to corporations.

Are they fuzzed? Should be useful as some guarantee against memory-safety bugs. Didn't find this mentioned in the project.
I believe there's a journal article being published shortly.
In the meantime this article:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55308216

"""Unlike other vaccines being trialled, the Oxford team had been taking weekly swabs from all volunteers to check whether they were infected but showing no symptoms. If the vaccine could prevent silent transmission it could stop them from unwittingly passing on the virus. "That's a big deal. Because that means the virus could be stopped in its tracks," says Pollard.

Intriguingly, when the trial results came out, there were indications it may partly suppress transmission of the virus. But more evidence is needed."""

and

"""Crucially, no-one who got the vaccine was hospitalised or got seriously ill due to Covid. Whereas in the control group there were 10 serious cases and one death."""

Perhaps, regardless of immunity, it reduces symptoms to "not serious", and may reduce transmission, which the other vaccines do not? Which seems like a fair trade for high immunity percentages, and possibly better for the wider community.
Not necessarily. Google Maps takes algorithmic approach to identify roads and routes, but as shown by this account and numerous others in the comments, sometimes that algorithmic approach fails and needs to be corrected by human intervention. If it’s known that some roads are dangerous and if it’s not difficult for Google to obtain this information, then there is a responsibility to intervene.

What is the alternative in a situation where the government has forced many people out of work?

You were going to have to pay one way or the other. It was just about a matter of when and what form of payment. Most of the world has decided that going into debt was better than paying with the lives of their people. You can renegotiate debt later on. It's just numbers in a excel sheet or some shit. Can't renegotiate the lives of dead people.
you can go to an airport, which has never closed, and buy a ticket in cash

you can purchase things in cash at Walmart, Target, etc. which has never closed during the pandemic
There are many factors at play:

* Cost of vaccine

* Ease of manufacturing

* Ease of distribution

* Prevention of severe cases and hospitalisations

It seems all vaccines currently approved so far prevent hospitalisations completely. It won’t stop the epidemic completely depending on coverage but it’s enough to stop killing people.

This certificate is actually OV. It has a Certificate Policy OID inside it, which is 2.23.140.1.2.2 for OV

This is set side in section 7.1.6.1 "Reserved Certificate Policy Identifiers" of the Baseline Requirements, although you could just Google it because OIDs are unique.

Cloudflare, as issuer, have confirmed that Cloudflare, the certificate subscriber, are really Cloudflare, because they're the same entity. That's actually an allowed shortcut, and, I'd argue, one of the most secure possibilities for such validation of business entities.

If you were wondering if this is really Visa that doesn't help you at all. For that you'd best rely on the fact that visa.com is the domain you care about and so logically Visa must have authorised Cloudflare to serve this name.

The predecessor of this site, back in summer, was not on Cloudflare, that too had an OV certificate, but for "Visa International Service Association" in Foster City. I guess somebody decided that letting Cloudflare handle this was cheaper/ easier.

The knowledge is not there to simulate the immune system in any useful way. Apart from that the main issue why it takes long to test vaccines are side effects. Checking for those would require simulating the whole body including various interactions with its environment.
We actually saved a man whose car was stuck in the sand in the Mojave desert in ~2014.

We were cruising through the desert in mid-August, well stocked up with water as everyone told you to always pack twice as much as you think you'll need, and mildly pissed-off by the gas price of the only gas station we've seen that day. We barely met another car on the whole journey through. It was late afternoon, we were about 30 minutes away from getting out of the desert and we saw a man waving at us at the edge of the road. We pull up and we see he is desperate, his car got stuck in the sand a few meters away. Together we managed to dig a bit under his wheels, gathered some flat stones and shoved them under the wheels to improve traction. After a couple of tries he was able to get the car out of the sand and back on the road.
Is this for a vaccine that confers sterilizing immunity (ie, prevents infection and therefore onward transmission, as well as preventing severe disease)?

I don't believe we yet have evidence that any covid vaccine provides this. I've only read that any vaccine prevents disease or hospitalization.
That is a US specific problem. In fact, it's a US Federal government specific problem.

If you push responsibility from the Federal government to the states, each state has to work it out themselves. While the US is a republic of 50 states, there are some times where "states rights" should require them to work co-operatively to establish a standard for all 50 states.

The current administration, throughout the entire pandemic, has abdicated its responsibility to co-ordinate this. The fact that states were forming their own co-operative approaches (see NY/NJ/CT et al) demonstrates the issue.

Basically, the current administration castrated the CDC from performing its function, with political interference in what the CDC did and what the CDC announced.

The current vaccine distribution is effectively "wholesale" with 50 retailers and then the Federal government abdicates any further responsibility.
I don't think sexualized media makes people more horny, but it can alter young peoples expectations of sex and possibly adults fantasies/sexuality.
Yes Pfizer/Moderna didn't do weekly swab tests and only tested the ones with symptoms unlike Astrazeneca.

The other big difference is the sample size is much bigger with Astrazeneca one and is across continents as well.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved two full doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

That’s the 60% effective version.

This is disappointing, hopefully they are working on getting approval for the 90% effective regime.

They could vaccinate far more people that way.
> it just sounds like the same strategy the UK has been attempting

You mean selling the COVID vaccine to 3rd world countries at cost/zero-profit, or others prior to this?

From the linked paper:

> Using Microsoft Excel, version 16, with the Crystal Ball add-in, the team developed a computational transmission, clinical, and economics outcomes model

I did not expect the simulation model to be written in Excel. Never heard of "Crystal Ball" before. From Oracle's website:

> Use Monte Carlo simulation to automatically calculate and record the results of thousands of different what–if cases
All we're missing here is a snake and 10 years and we've got a theory of everything.
> some participants routinely swabbed themselves for SARS-CoV-2 testing, even if they weren’t showing symptoms. Differences in infection rates between people who received the placebo and those who got the Oxford vaccine suggest the vaccine blocks transmission, says Ewer. (The Pfizer and Moderna trials tested only people who showed symptoms.)
