> It seems to me she looked at the appropriate laws and made a reasonable decision.

It is true that the UK technically doesn't guarantee 'freedom of the press' per se, it does have laws however that protect the freedom of expression, not as strongly as the 1st Amendment but still.

Further, there's a long precedent of British newspapers doing what WikiLeaks does and even collaborating with WikiLeaks without being prosecuted.

It's clear Assange is someone who the intelligence community views as an individual who crossed them and needs to be used to deter others. Reading the judgment it is hard not to come to the conclusion she agrees with this view.
Atleast their status page works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Looking at you AWS).

I am really looking forward to a better competitor taking over their market share, I presume things will only get worse after Salesforce acquisition.
Watching the Symbolics demo nowadays, it's amazing what they had back then.
Facebook mafia does what now?
Investing in the education of your citizens is a proven and popular technique for having a higher quality and quantity of work force.

Both production and distribution are problems. Hence why I hope the new admin addresses both with DPA and a comprehensive strategy respectively.
That isn't an example of domestic terrorism, though.
IMHO FB ads a a pile of #@!

In my experience, a message sent to the appropiate FB group can outperform by a factor of 10 facebok ads. Not just clickthroughs, but also repeated visits after 2 weeks.

If you buy traffic from a specific country, they will send you from whenever else* while they charge you for geolocated traffic. Sad thing IP addresses are easy to geolocate this days and they miserably fail to do it.

I wonder how they work with stuff you cannot compare like similar audiences..
Normally I don't agree with such statements, but in this case I do. Computed goto is very C-like in nature and has clear and concrete benefits. Further, it can be replicated on any architecture I'm personally aware of, and knowing how LLVM and other compiler infrastructure is designed, is a fairly trivial thing to implement.

I'd be curious to hear why it was never standardized. It seems like low hanging fruit to me.
California had some of the strongest lockdowns and stay-at-home orders of any state and they're still having ICU issues, meanwhile Florida is not? Tennessee has similar policies to Florida and they have high cases .. Sweden has meanwhile dropped to zero.

If you really look across the board at all countries, there is ZERO corroboration between any of these arbitrary measures and the results. It's all complete random superstition nonsense. COVID response is a new religions ideology, and ideology is "doing without knowing."

Also, why are ICU beds at capacity? Is it all COVID, or tons of people who didn't get the heart surgery they needed?

Your own experiences show that your family survived this and likely has long term immunity (and will continue to do so as long as they get exposed at regular intervals).

The alternate reality is that the virus is real, but the way we've reacted to it will kill more people in the long term. I wrote about this back in March, COVID19 is two diseases. The virus and our over-reaction to it: https://battlepenguin.com/philosophy/covid-19-is-two-disease...
There is basically not much difference than sending "reset your password" email like all the time you want to log in. Keeping this in mind it seems ridiculous using SSO via email.

Hopefully exFAT implementations will get more robust. At least with the macOS implementation, it has always been prone to reporting corruption when devices are not ejected properly. I can usually fix it by running check disk or whatever on Windows, but sometimes not.
I am so grateful for their hard work.

They developed a 90% effective vaccine in weeks, before proving safety and efficacy, and scaling up to 600M doses in months.

It makes me emotional to think of the number of lives they will save.

I didn't think this was possible and I hope I one day get the chance to thank some of the people that worked on this in person.
It's quite refreshing to see a state actually willing to discipline its rich, in favour of its workers.
Thank you. I've checked my logs and everything looks normal on my end and I do suppose it is some kind of tarpitting, but it doesn't show in the logs.

I do have DKIM, strict SPF and DMARC policies, MTA-STS, SMTP TLS Reporting, latest TLS support and valid certificates, there is nothing else I can do on my end.
If you're ultimate goal is to start your own business, then that's what you should constantly aim for.

If you currently have a job that's flexible with the working hours, you get alright pay with vacation days, it sounds like you're already perfectly setup to execute the typical "Wage slave by day, business owner by night" lifestyle where you work on your own business in the free time you have, while spending your day earning a living and support the early stages of your own business.
One thing I don't understand, is why government don't give free money to manufacturers ? Locking down is costing so much to society and governments. Instead of giving money to people who don't work, just give money to produce vaccines faster and let those people work ASAP.

Why we don't do that ?
They declared the issue at 7:14AM PST. How long is their deploy process?

That sounds pretty early to think somebody on the west coast did something, other than maybe acknowledge the pages and declare the incident.
"Specialty distribution is not something you can easily scale in a short period of time."

You admit distribution is something that can increase over time, so it should be plainly obvious that capacity will increase as time moves on (as opposed to staying stagnant or slowing down), especially considering everyone involved in the process has explicitly stated it will.

The additional vaccines that are close to approval give us further reason to expect the rate of vaccinations to increase significantly.

We have no reason to believe the current rate of vaccinations will remain stagnant or slow down, and many reasons to believe it will increase significantly in the coming months.
The best teachers have to fight to get paid what they are worth.

The best teachers have to fight for the resources they need to do their job well.

Most teachers are being asked to do unreasonable and unsafe things during COVID.
It is the rate of vaccination that is interesting to me. Doctors and nurses are turning down the shot at rates that are surprising. These are supposedly the most informed group - the group that counsels everyone else.

Why?

Look at these death totals by age

Age 25-34: 2087 deaths.
Age 35-44: 5398 deaths.
Age 45-54: 14496 deaths.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

These are small numbers.

I don't think we're going to get herd immunity without vaccine mandates.
Many embedded devices can read FAT32 and that's it. If you need to use a drive larger than 32GB for these, there are tools that will let you format them as FAT32 from within Windows.

Yeah there's a part of AntiFragile that I'm reading right now about the average calories burned to transport consumable calories on average.

The soviet union focus on agricultural production efficiency achieved the opposite effect right after the breakup.

Crops were produced inefficiently compared to centralisation, but after the breakup the calories to transport vs consumable calories ratio was close to 1:1, compared to a 12:1 in the USA at the time, because the crops were grown super close to where they were consumed.

Same with toilet roll availability in lockdown... lots of control built in over the years to give the appearance of reduced volatility.

So when relatively minor real volatility came in the form of an uptick in demand over a shorter period of time, it had a drastic effect.

We should be thankful these lessons are being doled out in the form of toiler paper, Christmas decorations and hard disks instead of food and meds.
Does nobody else appreciate the irony of using a graph, which essentially reduces to a conspiracy chart, to describe conspiracy theories?

CT's are just folktales and explanations for things people don't understand or control. A conspiracy theory only becomes dangerous or harmful when it threatens to upset an established order, which makes it oddly self fulfilling, since its real purpose is to facilitate organizing people around counter-establishment narratives. When you look at this paper as a new way to use technology to automatically detect counter-establishment narratives, it seems like pretty standard playbook for a secret elite coordinating to secure and expand their powers, which is hilarious, to me anyway.

However, the conclusion includes criteria for detecting actual conspiracies as separate from theories, "We hypothesize that three features—a single domain of interaction, a robustness to deletions of nodes and relationships, and a proliferation of peripheral actants and relationships—are key characteristics of an actual conspiracy and may be helpful in distinguishing actual conspiracies from conspiracy theories. "

I think they buried the lede on that one, as a heuristic for evaluating CT's and accusations of them could be super valuable.
That doesn’t mean they chose the right number to scale to.

At least XMPP is community-driven.
Maybe my brain is easily tricked, but I've found that switching jobs lets me make-believe that everything is great for awhile, and the reality of building another CRUD app doesn't set in until a few months to a year later.

The reality is, 99% of companies aren't actually working on something interesting. They're just making incremental improvements on something that's been done many times, and 99% of the work is grunt work. The kind of research-driven code crafting us developers wish for simply doesn't exist in the programming world. Maybe someone out there is working on self-driving flying cars, but I willing to bet even that isn't as glamorous as it sounds. It's probably mostly turning academic algorithm code into something usable, a.k.a. rote transformation of math into code.
NIH developed the vaccine, Moderna and Pfizer are manufacturing it.
Woah, thanks for clarifying--I had no idea!
That article is grossly inaccurate. It's one thing to say "Obama applied hard power more than was expected" as opposed to "He was worse than Bush" which is completely unjustified. There is absolute no equivalence between drone usage and the two ground wars engaged by Bush. The 2 week Shock and Awe campaign in Iraq dropped more ordinance and killed more people than 8 years of drones. And the drone campaigns were mostly carried out with the private consent of the nations with targets. And saying the Libyan Civil War was "US-led" is just a complete lie. It was most directly lead by Libyans, but the air campaign was led by France.
That's an interesting position (and I'm not disputing it) but if you were a business that has sovereign territory, you still need utilities (Internet).

Penn State has its own data-centers, is part of the Internet2 consortium and has dedicated fiber to both AWS and Azure but you're still ultimately reliant on those you're leasing the connections from - even if you own the fiber, you're probably leasing the right-of-way/poles/etc.

So ... how do we build an Internet that's fully inter-connected but can withstand actions by the few relatively large carriers? Thinking about it a bit more, isn't the effect of having a few large network providers analogous to the issue with BitCoin having a few large mining operations in effective control of the ecosystem?
> coming from a third world country

Is it possible you also view the US with a certain rosey bias? Check out any of a bunch of major metrics, like murder, infant mortality, homelessness, healthcare, police brutality, and it must be said Covid mortality. Visit the south side of Chicago. If all you can say is "at least it is better than China, a third world country," then you aren't saying much, and in plenty of cases it actually isn't true.
> some will die before being vaccinated

And their replacements (plus a few) will be born, also requiring a vaccination until we hit herd immunity.
So they are planning to ditch existing native apps so that people can run another electron-like CPU, memory and battery-hungry app?!

Yeah, great move.
Why? I had a rewrite of some core logic the last day before Christmas that I didn'td deploy, as it wasn't time critical to get out and I didn't want to be disturbed during holidays. Today it was perfect to deploy, as I can watch it the whole week if needed.
It reflects pretty badly on Microstrategy that a speculative investment of theirs outpaced their core business. Publicly traded software companies aren't hedge funds, they're not supposed to be making the kind of investments that can do that.

Lockdowns 100% work. Just like the medieval term "quarantine" proved that it works, 500 years ago. They're very effective at stopping infectious diseases. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out why they work.

The side effects of lockdowns suck A LOT, but less than uncontrolled spread of a virus amongst 8 billion people. Besides the fact that it would completely destroy out healthcare systems, in which case we're back to the Middle Ages, we're a few mutations away from a much deadlier disease. It would be ultimately irresponsible to allow Covid to run rampant.
Unfortunately not at the moment. Sharing notes is planned for later this year.

Well, there is a slight difference between 26,000 and 7 million.
The important thing about 'conspiracy theories'® is that you have charlatans trying to profit off them by misleading people. What I mean is that if they come across information that hurts their narrative, they won't share it, while continuing to posture as honest investigators in search of the truth. And for the readers it's hard to detect this fundamental dishonesty (how do you know what you haven't been told?).

This isn't to say that there are no conspiracies, and people aren't justified in looking for explanations, but this mechanism of deceit is what makes it a controversial/goofball topic.

Here's the cold take:

What explains this price doubling? Certainly it's not actual use of BTC as said in the article.

Similarly, if BTC was somehow underpriced all this time, why would it see such a rapid price correction upwards?

The gains can be explained by nothing else than mania and speculation.
In the same way nefarious people can also DDoS Twitter and Instagram accounts with fake follows to get accounts suspended.
In my opinion there aren't many deep learning applications that are fundamentally snake-oil, it's more that people who don't quite understand the limitations and advantages of particular methods that end up being (witting or unwitting) snake-oil salespeople.

Deep graph NN's are very useful for lots of data that are inherently graph-structured (another commenter above mentioned chemistry applications, and there are lots of other examples). Whether or not for the time-being they give SOTA results on common datasets, being able to work directly with graph-structured data is quite appealing in many cases.
What's there to change in Slack, though? It's arguably a messaging system, and that feature is tried and tested. That, and giphys, to be honest.

As an outside observer, I'd expect a "union" to push an agenda of fair compensation for it's workers and an end to abusive practices from management. This "personal agenda", as you correctly term it, feels more like a political party than a workers' union.
The supported devices list[1] looks pretty good. The support for individually addressable LEDs (WS2812 and friends) also means you could do pretty much any custom setup you wanted. Though I have to admit I don't fully get the "bling" thing for PCs. I'd rather, for example, drive a little OLED matrix screen to display temperatures, etc.

It's not remotely comparable. You can test seat belts with crash dummies. It's a clear experiment, and yes, people should have been skeptical of seat belts until they were proven to be effective. Auto companies were pushing against seat-belts and safety. Today big industry is pushing for lockdowns (and we should question those motives).

It's a bad argument. There are literally thousands of people in the Great Barrington Declaration, who have sound arguments for ending lockdowns. We can literally look at the numbers across the globe from different policies in different countries and see there is no direct correlational between any government action and fatalities. Correlation isn't causation, but we DO NOT even have correlation!

Scientists and doctors are saying we need to end this mass hysteria. We should listen to all the experts, not only the ones we agree with.
Um... in germany works councils don't get rid of young people because they want to protect their senior ranks.

First: it's really hard to get fired in germany, almost impossible.

Second: they help formulate who gets laid off when, when there are layoffs, and prioritise people who can and will find a job more easily. So young people and people without families. This is because older people are more vulnerable to discrimination.

This is what a society does to protect each other and to use power against a company because the employer-employee relationship is adversarial. Unions don't exist to protect the brass, i don't even know what you're on about
