Norway is subsidizing electric vehicles (with cash) and disincentivizing ICE vehicles (with higher fuel costs and other levers). However, vehicles of all kinds are subsidized by society by other means [0]. If we all paid the true costs of driving, our built environment and society would be structured radically different.

It sounds like you've made up your mind, but I might suggest reading less overwhelmingly biased critiques. That post makes incorrect assumptions about go, and then exhibits the result of their incorrect assumptions, and then brings up how, when making the correct assumptions in Rust, the outcome is different. Can you see how this is a flawed strategy?

Go isn't for everyone, and that's okay, but it seems kind of silly to make a judgement based off of a negative review hinging on a pretty poor understanding of a language.

notinventedhear didn't miss the point.

He disputed the topic (and implication) which is not "the game" but a description that is factually incorrect. You don't want to agree, that's fine. It's not subtle or complicated. To claim anyone misunderstands where this premise comes from, is a bad faith interpretation, which you inexplicably double down on.

I'm the technical founder of Kanopi and I'm looking for a co-founder.
https://kanopi.io

Kanopi is...

- a tool that blurs the line between private note-taking and public linked data

- a part-time project from 2015 - Sept 2020, full-time since then

- my attempt to explicitly support more of the thinking/learning process (capture, collection, organization, synthesis, analysis, and maybe recall)

--- excluding functionality for presentation and real-time collaboration

- in private alpha - request an invite at kanopi.io!

The problems I'm trying to solve with Kanopi are:

- remove frictions from note-taking by using data on the web to suggest notes and links

- make notes useful across contexts/projects by adding outlines (Trees) and mind-maps/diagrams (Maps) on top of your notes

--- notes are not contained in these tools, they are referenced

- make notes more meaningful over time by encouraging smaller notes, with titles, that have labeled links to other notes (how is X related to Y?)

From user interviews I think academics and professional researchers experience these problems most acutely so they are my focus at this stage.

As some on this thread have discussed -- I don't expect to make this decision lightly, but if this sounds interesting and you feel it is a good fit then please reach out.

Companies will definitely pay for a 3 month MVP type contract to try out an idea. The problem, I think, is how to pitch that without a plan to go to a full product. Hard to say I'll build this and leave: Good luck turning it into a full scale solution!

The other problem is going to be the sales cycle. You sit in the unhappy middle of manager/director level discretionary budget and long term planned/vetted expense. You're going to have to spend a lot of time on the sales cycle for not enough long term money.

It's a possible niche but I think one that would be a hard scraggle/hand to mouth kind of existence.

> Would the author be convinced to write the same article if the vaccine had been rolled out in January, and as a result the world suffered a second thalidomide scandal?

A better comparison would be the swine flu vaccine in 1976. According to Wikipedia [1], about 45 million people were vaccinated and 362 of them suffered Guillan-Barre syndrome. Only 1 person died of the actual swine flu.

But that comparison actually makes Ben's case stronger. What if all 330 million people in the US had been vaccinated against COVID, and 1 in 100,000 of them (about the same proportion as for the 1976 vaccine) had serious side effects? Even if all of those side effects were fatal (and they wouldn't be), that would still be only 3,300 deaths--less than 1 percent of the US COVID death count currently reported. And even leaving aside that not all side effects would be fatal, that death count is clearly an overestimate, since in the US people would be given the choice whether to be vaccinated, and not all Americans would take it.

You are absolutely, 100% right about this. I am astronomically offended at the idea of "midday" meaning "an hour before the sun is at its highest". That's just wrong.

If we're doing away with DST, so be it. I mean, it'll be horrible in the winter when sunrise is at like 9AM (or in the summer when it sets at 8PM, depending on which option you choose), but I understand the arguments.

But if we get rid of it, permanent standard time is the only sane choice.
I find it a little worrying that a US tech company has the power to censor a popular UK media company for being critical of UK government policy.

While I didn't personally agree with them, I do acknowledge there was a legitimate argument to be made for removing hateful content and even harmful conspiratorial content from social platforms. However, this seems to be a significant step beyond the moderation / censorship we've seen in the past.
My skin is very greasy, I drink about 4 big cups a day sipping constantly, to maintain the same level of caffeine to improve coding skills, but when I have long vacations (two weeks) I don't see any side effects like headaches and my skin is probably even greasier. Also I don't have any trouble sleeping with or without coffee, but I drink only until end of work (16:00 for me). So, everyone is different. If I don't drink coffee, I feel it very well when trying to code, I can even detect by effects if some cofee is low on caffeine.

When I did some googling, I found an article from 2012 about sanctions enforcement (https://www.itproportal.com/2012/10/26/ibm-questioned-over-a...). I am unaware of new behavior regarding sanctions enforcement, although I know that the current administration imposed additional sanctions. But my understanding is that with existing sanctions, this is what the US government has always done.

Google built one of their TPUs in Chisel [1].

TL;DW: Chisel is beautiful/fun to write in, with a definite productivity bonus, but has a pretty large learning curve and had a much greater verification cost, partly because it's an HLS (most have that problem) and also lack of any tooling. Both of those costs are gradually being reduced (though in my opinion, not enough to not make verification a PITA).

I don't understand how this can be true. If it's better for people to wake up an hour earlier or later, then do that. Who cares what the clock says?

Schools should start later. But those times don't exist in a vacuum—for obvious logistical reasons, you generally want the kids to be in school before the parents have to be at work.
On the coastal side of the enormous Eastern Time Zone, I like the idea of permanent EDT or the proposed AST. Permanent DST (nationwide) is slightly better for New England than AST, because it avoids the hassle of being in a different time zone than New York, D.C., et al. On the other hand, it's probably not as good for, say, Indianapolis.

> I hate that it's permanent DST, though. Why make noon at one hour past the sun at its highest point? So annoying.

I have a friend that is also annoyed by this prospect, but I never could understand why. I mean I can see why people have opinions based on morning/evening light, but is "high noon should be noon" really that big a deal? I mean even if the center of every timezone had high noon set at noon, you'd still end up having the edges of the same timezone having their high noon closer to 11:30 and 12:30. The fact is that local times have had their high noon disassociated from 12:00 for quite a while. Other than the principle of the thing, I just don't see why having around 1:00 really is such a bother.

edit: I really can't understand why you're being downvoted. Your frustration shouldn't be ignored.
Do Danes get tax deductions on mortgage interest? One of the best tax deductions we get is the one on mortgage interest.

Also this isn't really that great since lower interest means higher home prices. I'd rather have high interest and low home prices if I were a buyer and try to pay if off ASAP or refinance to lower interest when the rate drops. Buy when interest is high and home prices low and sell when interest is low and home prices is high.
No, not a typo, just specific to Twitter. On Twitter, I seem to only find React-devs that gain any kind of fame, and then it's all a big circle of people who self-promote one another.

My personal guess is it's because front-end people can demo things easier.

I think amongst larger dev circles, it's probably generally true that front-end are considered towards the bottom. I think some front-end developers, like Dan Abramov, show that that's a bit unfounded.

The retail price is the same, sure, but the effective price is much different because the incentives come from different tax and rebate schemes that aren't factored into the retail price. EVs have no VAT in Norway, no road tax, no toll or ferry fees [0] -- that's a major difference in the effective price!

If school starts later then that means work for adults has to start later too. Which means modifying public transportation schedules and business hours. What exactly is "simple" about any of this?
Everyone is different, but DST / summer time seems more natural for me. I prefer more daylight in the evenings. The dark days of standard time, like December through March, are particularly brutal.

Teenagers should start school later anyway. I think that is a different issue.
I don't know if they are too late. WordPress is a 10 ton animal that moves rather slowly, but still has a growing user base.

That's my whole point. Of course more people will choose an EV when they are at price parity. The problem is that they are not. The Niro EV sells for a ~40% premium in the US over the ICE version, because the government subsidies are far less.
I am glad the shortcode support is still around. Writing plugins that integrate with Gutenberg is a bit soul-sucking, especially when you just want to have a little serverside rendered widget chucked into your page.

118. I have a client that is in Iran to visit a relative. Do I need to restrict the account?

Answer

No. As long as you are satisfied that the client is not ordinarily resident in Iran, then the account does not need to be restricted. See FAQ 37.
I'm not arguing it's not complex or that a lot of factors go into the response. I am however suggesting your original claim that non pharmaceutical interventions had little effect is demonstrably false. Comparing the 1 death in Taiwan and the to tens of thousands in the UK, including strong quarantines and contact tracing quite obviously had an impact.
Yeah, the Go decision was more because of familiarity and some tooling I have available for Dynamo. The real problem I was tackling is zero marginal cost multi tenancy. Right now a new Ghost installation costs 500MB on a disk and 1GB in RAM, and I would like to to cost one row in an existing database instead.

And yeah, don’t think the $5 / month is sustainable for a company, but for a solo founder it might work. Of course, that might be a classic case of this time it’s different.
Another potential consequence is that if the price of your house falls more than the down payment you invested, you may be incentivized to simply walk away.

The price could fall for any number of reasons: a market crash and country-wide depression widely impacting many people, or an individual owner who simply did no maintenance/upkeep over a period of years and the property is in disrepair. The disrepair scenario is common among elderly homeowners in the US.

Which one is more likely to be right:

A) Tens if not hundreds of governments, with wildly different agendas, ranging from dictatorships to ultra liberal democracies, converge on enforcing different degrees of lockdowns. Tens of different graphs I've seen have infection rates go down, like clockwork, roughly 10-14 days after stricter lockdowns are enforced. Keep in mind that they're all aware of the economic costs, mental health issues, etc. They're not doing this for fun. And they're not going to lock us forever, there is no "freedoms" slippery slope here.

B) A rather fringe group of libertarians, freedom fighters and the like, who dislike government overreach, prove that models used by all those governments are all wrong, thus indirectly confirming their long held beliefs and biases.

In Romanian we say: "If someone says you're drunk, ignore them. If two people say that you're drunk, go to bed even if you haven't touched a bottle of liquor."

The odds of your sources being a scientific revolution are low. They're much more likely to be Nostradamuses (Nostradami?) than Galileos.

Plus, using Ben Shapiro as a source? Isn't he obviously an agenda pushing hypocrite? I mean, a broken clock is right twice a day, but still :-)
What if instead of going to bed when the clock says so regardless of the Sun, you to to bed when the Sun goes down regardless of what the clock says.

The clock is just this little thing on your wall. The Sun is almighty and the reason why you're here. Forget the clock!
While tapering bedtime is sometimes possible (not when they can read the clocks!), you can't taper when they wake up quite as easily. I would expect that this suggestion cannot be easily implemented by many families.
This. Making DST permanent is like buying an amplifier that goes from 2 to 11 instead of 1 to 10.

But one forgets that even though the interest rate is 0% the COST of the loan is !=0, we still have to pay a "bidragsssats" which is an "administrative fee" to have the loan

The interesting part is that that this rate can be changed over time to whatever the lone-shark wants it to be, thus - as always - you need to look at the TCO.

I'm speculating here, but maybe there are better controls in Big Sur to easily mute input devices compared to prior versions of OSX. I've attempted building a global microphone mute app (for external microphones) on Catalina but never found an easy way to fully mute all mics such as external USB mics or a those connected through a USB ADC. The best I could get on Catalina was to lower the inputVolume to 0 which does not truly mute the microphone. I never found an app that "solved" this problem for all microphones on OSX versions prior to Big Sur.
This is purely anecdotal, and simply suggests you know Node.js better than Go.
In this thread, none of the comments seem to note a key issue here as stated in the FDA post: "Those participants who did not receive two vaccine doses at either a three-or four-week interval were generally only followed for a short period of time, such that we cannot conclude anything definitive about the depth or duration of protection after a single dose of vaccine from the single dose percentages reported by the companies. "

In other words, we basically have NO DATA on single dose schedules for Moderna/Pfizer vaccines. There's too few of them anyway to gain any statistically meaningful insight even if we did follow up on these study participant washouts. This is hydroxychloroquine all over again. When you are looking at inadequate data, you can find all sorts of patterns. It is very rare that such patterns turn out to be real. The most reasonable approach is to assume that there is little to no durable protection from a single dose, just like most prime/boost vaccines.
