From the now taken down Operation Warp Speed page, see here https://web.archive.org/web/20210119000857/https://www.hhs.g... 300 million doses from AZ, 100 million from Novavax, as mentioned in my other comment 100 million from Pfizer, 100 million from Sanofi/GSK which as mentioned failed, and a 100 million from Johnson and Johnson.

Also mentions we signed the second 100 million dose contract with Moderna December 11th, that would be based their results which led to their submitting their application for an FDA Emergency Use Authorization on November 30th. See also lots of details on supply chain spending, well over a billion dollars.

So while you're technically correct, with how much effort it takes to ramp up production, see how Johnson and Johnson isn't going to meet their early 12 million dose promise, I don't see our general approach as being wrong. Signing multiple 700 million dose contracts would not in any way speed production, that only happens when you get an initial contract and start making it. Which is exactly what Moderna and Pfizer did, quite some time before getting EUAs, lots of doses were shipped within days. Where I live, for Pfizer the Monday after the FDA's Friday issuance of an EUA. To a hospital which had rented an ultra-cold freezer to store it, a lot of work and money has gone into this hole process.
A little bit of Apple hagiography in there, claiming Apple is usually first. Discrete video cards have consistently been at the forefront of features like this, leading Apple by years. The difference is, the consumer must decide to build a system with these features. If I want an HDR system, I buy an HDR capable discrete card, HDR capable monitor, etc and put it all together.

What Apple does is assemble it all in a base model, like a console, so that all models have the feature set as base. And like other commenters have pointed out, PCs with HDR have been shipping long before, especially "workstation" machines.
I built something like this in the run up to my first major engineering job. I embraced NoSQL after for a while. But ultimately types won, and then tools that work with them.

If you are using this or something like it I strongly encourage connecting your type system to it with common JSON Schema tools so it at least lets the rest of your tools find out what your data model is, even if you haven’t defined it
there clearly has been manipulation of some sort. However not anywhere near enough to turn the election. A couple dead people who voted here and there needs to be investigated, but 10 votes in a state don't change any results.
Ooo I am very interested and hope this works out; I've only really used XOrg but a new contender/approach will be fun to see (of course I know it already exists, but operating on the assumption that this would cause its ecosystem to mature even further/faster)
No, In Sweden 1144 out of every million people have died [0], which equates to 1 out of every 874 people.

Does 1 out of 874 people dead, mostly elderly and/or with comorbidities, sound bad?

Picture a room with 874 people. That's a lot of people. Ask 1 person to leave. Is that a disaster for society?

Presumably because (despite your point about customer countries doing their own testing) China and Russia are undemocratic and authoritarian regimes which are not trusted to produce a vaccine that has been properly tested in a fully accountable way.

That is not to doubt their scientific prowess, but the ability of their science to avoid gross political interference.

Neither is it to imply the West are angels, but comparatively China and Russia are not subject to the same democratic oversight.

"Jamstack" sites, in their simple form, or even combined with a modest number of lambda functions, can be deployed to github pages / netlify / vercel and a number of other platforms for free. Push a commit to github, get an automatic deployment going, boom, done. I am not aware of any analogues in the php ecosystem.

It was a question of ROI, and targeted ads are simply more difficult to use well.

Putting up a large sign outside convince store is going to target people in the area well enough. Giant companies like Disney can easily produce different ads to target individual slices of the population for similar results. But, how well can a small river rafting company for example leverage demographics data? Meanwhile because some companies find this data useful they suddenly need to pay a premium, which just doesn’t seem likely to pay off on average.

A rainbow is a rather bad test-case to distinguish color stops because it can vary two of the components at the same time. Monochromatic gradients make it easier to spot the quantization.

Additionally wider color gamuts also mean that each quantization step would cover a larger absolute difference if we kept things at 8bpc.
Except this is all trur at the same time. It's a rigged market, it's a pump and dump and a protest all in one

How about requiring every high school student to spend two hours per day doing strenuous physical exercise in order to graduate? How about considering it a failure for a student to graduate without being in excellent athletic form, on par with the student being unable to do algebra?

If the people in charge wanted to make that happen, they could do it by spending a tiny fraction of the public money at their disposal on propaganda, but all indications are that they don't want a population that's in great physical shape, even though it would obviously be good for them.

People who are in great shape when they graduate high school might still become fat, but people who graduate from high school fat will almost certainly spend their lives that way.

They could also regulate extremely sugary foods like how tobacco, which is less harmful, is regulated, where you have to be 18 to buy it and have to ask for the cashier to get it for you, rather than having it in your face at the checkout aisle.

Whining about how hard it is on their website is exactly the sort of reason why they have no credibility. They're not really trying, and pretty much everyone can sense that, even if they don't have it spelled out for them.
When I first moved to the bay area, the company that hired me asked me what kind of computer I wanted and gave me a budget (like $3000 or something)... I spent a few days crafting a parts list so I could build an awesome workstation. Once I sent it over they were like "Uh, we just meant which macbook do you want?" and kind of gave me some shade about it. They joked, so how are you going to do meetings or on call?

I rolled with it, but really wondered if they knew I could get 2x the hardware and have a computer at home and at work for less money than the MBP ... Most of the people didnt seem to understand that laptop CPUs are not the same as desktop/workstation ones, especially when they hit thermal down throttling.
If you have an LG OLED TV you can push 11111 over the Channels > Channel Tuner menu (I think? Google this if it doesn’t work) and it will show you a screen of input stats. If you use the arrow keys and OK buttons you can open an HDMI sub-menu which shows you the input signal as 8-bit or 10-bit. Via a Club3D DP1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter I was only able to get 8-bit HDR according to the LG TV. Your other monitors might tell you more details maybe? I’m away from my setup but I could post a photo later and more details on the connections and cables. I tried 3 different USB C DisplayPort adapters with the same results on each... I plan to test what the LG TV says for an Nvidia 2060 soon too, to compare...
The wording can be a little confusing, because i believe in tor when people talk about censorship resistance they mean censorship of the whole network - e.g. blocking all the entry nodes, trying to find bridges and blocking them, which is a different type of censorship. I imagine freenet is just as vulnerable to that, and i would imagine that is an easier thing for powerful entities to do than to push GB of data into the tor network for an extended period of time to hopefully knock out a single hidden service.

Putting a sign or giving you freebies is orders of magnitude more expensive than getting some impressions on Facebook.

And this scenario where bakeries grind their margins in an endless ad fight is a bit far fetched, all the bakeries need to do is get your attention enough so that you know/remember they’re there. It’s a few cents with online advertising, FB makes billions because there’s a lot of users.

You’re also forgetting that such ads are about telling you about products you didn’t even consider you need. So yeah, you’re not going to die out of hunger due to lack of ads, but you may not learn of more luxurious items that you may want.

(Disclaimer, I work at FB, not on ads, and don’t know anything an outsider wouldn’t know)

Why would that be the case? As far as I know, we don’t disqualify people for other reasons within their control.
I still don't know whether my parents should get the Chinese / Russian vaccines or not.

I'm more concerned about lack of efficiency than safety. The problem is that after they get one of the vaccines, they won't have any chance to get more from the Pfeizer vaccine when it arrives.
People rail against lockdowns and claim eradication isn’t possible for various reasons, yet when shown examples of where it has worked and the freedoms it has allowed somehow that is also not an option.

If everyone did it, we would have a solution.

What Victoria achieved looked an impossible task for a while there, and shows that a severe outbreak can be corrected. That’s an achievement that can’t be underestimated.

Why anyone in Australia or NZ would want to travel internationally for anything other than absolutely essential travel is baffling to me - outside of travel, we have achieved normality. Rampant covid and freedom of movement is not the freedom I want.
The problem with FL real estate is that flood zones and old construction are everywhere. You probably don't want to buy a house in a flood zone. Also, because hurricane codes were updated recently, you want to buy something recent-ish, definitely nothing older than 2002. The windows in my place are rated for a Category 5, and I'm at 50ft above sea level.

In most of Florida, Sarasota included, if you go with a traditional home, you'll want newer construction in a community. The HOA takes care of all the outside stuff like landscaping, so it's pretty much condo living except without shared walls. All the houses look similar.

The HOAs usually maintain some kind of "activity center" where you'll have a gym, pool, common area, tennis courts, etc. Again, it's pretty much like living in an SF condo, except instead of all that stuff being downstairs, it's down the street, and much larger.

If you prefer to live in an actual condo, there's plenty of those too with a walk-able downtown area, but I like not having shared walls. Also downtown is in a flood zone, so you might need to evacuate if we get a bad enough hurricane. I wouldn't be too concerned about flooding if I was buying several stories up though.

As for internet, frontier offers decent symmetric fiber (previously fios). I'm on gigabit with them and it's been fine. It's in most of the area.

Also, as a rule of thumb, you want to buy when a new community is just getting started or just finishing up. You'll get a better deal if you're one of the last houses before they shut down the sales office, or if you're one of the first to buy. Construction takes 8-12 months usually, but it's perfectly fine to have the house built while you're remote. I lived nearby with family while mine was being built, and me walking the construction site periodically wasn't particularly useful.

Hope that helps! Happy to answer any other questions you might have.
I agree with you that the regulators are to blame, but wall street (regulators, ratings agencies, banks, funds) seem to consistently break the law with no consequence. All of these are largely responsible for the deregulation that allowed these financial instruments to become legal. We need consequences or this system will remain broken, I think. Fraud is a crime that many lower class people consistently go to prison for. It's times like these that I personally realize that MLK was right when he said the system we have in place is not justice, it makes a mockery of justice. These people/institutions continue to get richer without repercussions, and ready to benefit during the recovery from every crash meanwhile poor people get shafted.

Only a few governments can be smug about how they handled Covid, and they are all in Asia (counting New Zealand and Australia as Asia, which is hand wavy). Even those who can make such a claim are still only one mistake from it all crashing down.

Because they care for politics and diplomacy plays (and playing second fiddle to American rivarly with these countries), not for the citizens...
This is the upside down crazy we are faced with when a tiny number of giant companies make decisions on whims of ever changing policy.

We need to fight back with things like PWAs to bypass the app stores, web socket chats, distributed social platforms, and plain old web pages to publicly document these attacks on free speech. Call/email Congress too. Get friends and neighbors to do the same. They are already alerted to this growing abuse by these monopolistic giants.

> Always remember that your freelance rate should be double your full time rate

Can you elaborate on this? I had always wondered what a baseline rate should be if one goes freelance.
> What vote do you think is being split? Some kind of generic not-Conservative vote? People vote for other parties - they aren't split among a vote not for the Conservatives.

I think there are a few factors that make things more nuanced than "People vote for other parties". As I mentioned in another comment, FPTP leads to constituencies where people feel that their vote doesn't count, so they either don't vote at all or vote for the "lesser of two evils", which both inflates the support for the Conservatives and also prevents new parties from gaining traction.

> If it really were simple vote splitting then coalitions would form, and they don't

That's a great point, but actually the UK has seen informal coalitions with parties standing down candidates in specific seats. This idea is so entrenched in British politics that it even has its own Wikipedia article.[0] The fact that the Conservatives have been the only major party since WW2 to form a coalition government is mostly due to the fact that in other general elections, the party with the most seats hasn't needed to form a coalition (perhaps with the exception of 1974), and it would make even less sense for the opposition parties to form one.

> Are the Conservatives and Labour splitting the not-SNP vote?

If you look at the 2016 Scottish Parliament election[1] (which uses a voting system that rewards honesty better), the Conservatives and Labour received 44.6% of the constituency vote, combined. That is less than the 46.5% that the SNP received. Even if you add the constituency vote share of the fourth largest party (by seats won), Scottish Green, they still don't match the success of the SNP. In any case, vote splitting is not such a concern under the Additional Members System.

> An absolute popular majority?

I apologise if my "51%" comment was unhelpful. You asked "How much more of a majority do you think it could possibly be?" and I wanted to highlight the fact that 43% isn't any kind of majority at all, but maybe you meant "plurality". In any case, I agree that it would probably be a bad sign if a party had a majority of the popular vote, and I would say it can also be a bad sign if a party gets a majority of seats without a majority of votes. Big parties effectively tend to be coalitions within themselves anyway, so I would prefer if the dynamics of those coalitions were played out on the national political stage, rather than as internal party scheming.

>Obesity alone means ~40% of the population of the US

And that is in large part thanks to the government and its public health experts, who we are now, I guess, supposed to believe have our interests in mind, even though, by letting 40% of the population become obese, when there are plain and simple steps they could have taken to prevent it, they have irrefutably demonstrated they do not actually care about the health of the population.
Yeah, like $12 billion dollars. We are spending trillions on relief, so it's worth asking if more money spent on production could have accelerated things. A few tens of billions more would have been cheap!

The vaccine shipments here (Michigan) have accelerated considerably since December, implying a pretty small head start on manufacturing.

The distribution trends tab on https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98178_1032... shows the shipments.
A lot of people in our democracy might not agree with your assessment of this pandemic. A lot of people feel that 1 in 750 people dying, mostly older with comorbidities, is not the disaster for society that some seem to think it is. A lot of people think that giving up a year or two of their social and economic lives is not worth trying to avoid a 1 in 750, or 0.13%, chance of dying. Especially those, like the young, who have less than 1 in 100,000 chance of dying.

Trying to tell them this is a catastrophe based on the numbers isn't going to work.
>Presumably because (despite your point about customer countries doing their own testing) China and Russia are undemocratic and authoritarian regimes which are not trusted to produce a vaccine that has been properly tested in a fully accountable way.

That's the last thing they care about (if it's even in the list). For one, we could easily verify the vaccines of those countries with independent testing here or there, we don't have to "trust" their development method and testing.

Not to mention we seemed to have no problem trusting their drugs and vaccines (Chinese ones) for decades. Suddenly we don't?

It's the trade war with China and the pressure on Russia (to just give in and open up to western companies/demands like in the Yeltsin era).

The rest are excuses for gullible citizens.

>Equally likely in my mind is that Citadel bought Melvin's book thinking that it had a better plan than unwinding the short just yet. Instead, "hide" the short someplace that Ortex isn't looking and that the exchanges won't report on for another 3 weeks. That would be their order flow with a company they are in a unique position with - Robinhood - where lots of the buy orders are coming from. If you were Citadel and a little unscrupulous, you could immediately route every sell order on RH to the market but keep the buy orders for yourself. This positions you as short to Robinhood users, and you get to send those sold shares back to the book you bought from Melvin to unwind that short. So, the short does still exist, but now it's not visible to outside brokers. Outside brokers, when Ortex calls them up, will say, no no, Melvin covered a bunch today and short interest actually went down!

Is that legal? Manipulating report agencies to manipulate the value of a stock?

There are multiple Congressmembers interested in this situation. That could be a very dangerous game.
