The problem won't be with the warmest temperatures. People in places like the Middle East and Australia are used to boiling hot summers and a couple of degrees hotter will probably be just a little bit more uncomfortable... what will completely change the world is the range of diseases and insects changing drastically. Places like the Amazon and the African rainforests are currently very hard to live in because of tropical disease. These areas are bound to expand by quite a lot, perhaps reaching places like southern Europe and USA. This, together with the shift in agriculture and sea levels, is what will bring an amount of chaos to the world.

Far north places like Scandinavia and Canada might actually benefit a little bit by being able to grow crops that they currently can't due to their harsh winters and cold nights all over the year! But their southern neighbours will surely suffer a lot, and that's where most of the population currently is.

Is it not searching/indexing pages or attachments? Ignoring the frustrating interface and query syntax it (in theory) should share some characteristics with elasticsearch since it uses lucene on the backend. In my experience it does an ok job of indexing pages and some file types. It would be nice if it just dumped the strings in binary files for indexing but I can see how that wouldn’t be very user friendly.

But it can only do ok when the indexing is working as it should. It can be easy to miss a stale index for a while because search continues to work. Then you’re waiting for it to catch up or even for a full reindex. The problems seem to get considerably more frequent with their HA products since you’re now distributing the search/index.

My impression from running a few different pieces of software and maintaining some smaller elasticsearch clusters is that search is pretty difficult to do well. Or even decent for that matter. Development, UX and operational support have to come together just right and when it’s just a feature of a product or a service instead of a core competency you get milquetoast and frustration.

They're great for this. I once ordered the wrong tablet which was totally my mistake and I even ended up unboxing it, but they still allowed me to return it. It's one of the main reasons I use them because I know there's no hassle if anything goes wrong with my order.

Unfortunetly I know a few people who have been abusing Amazon's refund policy recently. I don't come from the best background so I know a few people who have ordered phones and other electrics from Amazon just because they know if they complain they were stolen from their doorstep they might get a free phone. From my experience working at ecomerce and insurance companies it's hard to have a relaxed returns policy when you also have to accept that the majority of the claims will be fraudulent.

They are not. On the surface revenues keeps growing, profits are enormous but underneath there are virtually no new product lines. If you look at Microsoft of 1990s, there were new $1B business each year - MSSQL, Sharepoint, Dynamics etc etc. For Apple, Jobs made it a point for one new product line every 2-3 years. For Google, you had new stuff like Gmail, Maps keep coming. Now its mostly barren land. Amazon had a lot going on with Alexa, pharmacy, Fire tablets, prime video etc. Don't expect these stuff 2-3 years down the road with new business suit at the helm.

There are real impact of not having a "product person" at helm. Business suits will squeeze out revenues and profits no matter what but there are no more tech that truly leap frogs existing art.

There's been quite a few ferry routes starting between Ireland and France. The paperwork/delays on the landbridge mean it's more economical to do it this way.

No. Because that wasn’t his goal.
As parent mentioned, I've also tried the speakers in lots of different locations -- on the floor, on a desk, near a wall, not near a wall, in the kitchen, the living room, the study, and the hallway. And I've listened to the same music on my Bose headset (which aren't exactly known for low bass response), and then streamed it over my HomePod; the HomePod was basically unlistenable at any reasonable volume.

Maybe it really is just the HomePod managing to hit the bass frequency of every room, and all I need to do is add bass traps everywhere; or maybe all the music I want to listen to is just badly mixed to make up for expected poor bass response on speakers. But it's a bit hard to believe, honestly.

That's a possibility only if you write ('sell', but as in to the buyer of a call or a put, not the same as (buying) a put) options though.

The buyer of an option has exactly that - an option. Buyer downside is limited to the premium, the price paid for the option.

Correct - some options have a more than 50% chance of winning and some much less. They are priced accordingly. In theory, options are priced such that you’ll break even (minus contract fees) long term in terms of money in and taken out. Of course bankroll management is a concept I’m not sure the YOLO crowd is too cautious about.
As a sibling post says - I also still believe its UX and likely current responsiveness is better than anything out there now.

I would probably still use webOS if there was still minimal open source development, some phone to put it on (or I guess I’d be fine getting a Pre 3) and the App Store not being shut down with all apps gone. The homebrew apps weren’t really meant to replace the App Store if I recall.

A world where webOS has 5-10% market share as a stable 3rd place would be amazing.

You can't claim it that "only reacting" doesn't help explain the process because at the end of they day, you, nor I, can exactly explain how consciousness works. The only evidence we have to likely explain it is that it likely is a cause and effect system like EVERYTHING we can observe externally so far.

And again, just because you claim my world view would be tyrannical DOES NOT make it true. My definition of free will is the common understanding of free will that you are trying to redefine to fit your world view.

Northern Ireland suspends Brexit checks amid safety fears for port staff

There's unstated background in that article, I'm not complaining about that, I'm sure it's common knowledge to people in the UK.

But I'm not really clear on who is mad at or threatening whom. Let's take the very beginning of the article:

Brexit checks on animal and food products arriving into Belfast and Larne ports have been suspended amid fears over the safety of staff

Are we talking about goods from Northern Ireland (not part of EU?) arriving at a port prior to being shipped to EU? Or are they arriving from EU into a port in Northern Ireland?

Who is doing the threatening? Why?
Loneliness Is What Drives Some People to the Right Wing
I just wanted to chime in to say that #1 can be a very counterproductive strategy in the long run. The most important idea I can convey about anxiety is this: if you aren’t willing to face your fears, your anxiety will probably escalate over time. (Fortunately, the inverse is true as well!)

Reasoning one’s way out of anxiety is an attempt to avoid fear. Fear asks: “what if X happens to me?” Avoidance is an attempt to short-circuit the fear: “Oh, don’t worry! X can’t happen because of Y.” This may provide quick relief, but your anxiety is just as motivated as you are. It’s only a matter of time before the anxiety undermines Y with another doubt. So next, you need to prove Z, so that Y will definitely be true, so that you don’t have to be afraid of X. At each step of the way, you’re training your brain to believe that X is truly so dangerous that you must do everything in your power to get it off your mind. This causes the fear and the anxiety to get worse, not better. This is not the path that gets you where you want to be.

Avoidance can take many forms - rationalizing is just one of them. Even very healthy behaviors can be avoidant if you’re using them to run away from your anxiety.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, I can’t recommend psychotherapy strongly enough. Preferably, from a practitioner of evidence-based treatments such as CBT. Anxiety is so treatable! It’s amazing how manageable our worst fears can seem once we’ve learned how to approach them.
Exactly. Maybe there are companies facing problems so unimaginably vast that architects who can’t write any code are critically needed. (Not who don’t which would be okay for a lot of companies, but who can’t.)

To me, this seems more like an executive chef who doesn’t know (or has forgotten) how a knife works rather than an Elon Musk or Henry Ford who doesn’t know how to weld a body panel.
You're correct that there's never been an experiment on the scale of the current pandemic, but there is a long history of demonstrating that viruses rapidly evolve to escape antibodies, and that this effect is enhanced under direct selective pressure.

Late 2020 there was a paper published where they demonstrate this effect for SARS-Cov-2 in human cells, then they look for those variants in humans and find that they were already infecting humans, demonstrating this selection activity happens in the wild [1]. I totally hear you about the 1 does vaccine argument. I think the kicker is two-fold. First, we do not know whether vaccinated individuals can still be infected with and spread COVID. Second is the rollout is currently very slow. You could imagine a scenario where enough folks are vaccinated to add pressure, but not reduce widespread transmission. If the data comes out that you can't transmit covid after the first dose (and I believe that Moderna has this data, but not ready to publish), I think the answer is clear to delay the second dose. But I think it is the absence of the transmission data, not whether evolution will happen to the virus, is part of the reasoning for the current strategy of completing the vaccination course in the ~3 week timeline.

The problem with covered calls is you take on all the downside risk of the stock collapsing and get none of the upside gains if the stock rockets. Writing way OTM covered calls will not net many proceeds unless the stock is super volatile which means you likely have a lot of downside risk.

A good example from recently is Ford. Was trading at around $6 a few months ago and not too volatile. OTM calls were pretty cheap that were a few dollars up and essentially worthless at double the price. Anyone writing those was getting almost no premium. But then the stock took off quickly and hit over $12. Anyone who wrote those calls enjoyed none of those gains.

So even a stock like $F can move in very unpredictable ways.

To me he looks like retiring. Working on new projects while someone else is CEO hasn't worked out well. Ask Bill Gates, Steve Jobs (when Scully became CEO) and Larry Page. Bezos had been buying massive houses and spending a lot more time there. He had been seen with his girlfriend a lot more these days. Before his affair, he barely had time for anything other than Amazon. I think he is done with all ambitions more or less.

How to Simulate Slow Network Conditions to Test Your Apps
I remember long ago going to the gym to play some basketball and joining 4 other random people I didn't know to play against a team who wanted to play a full court practice game. Even though we were random and individually not as skilled as the other team, we somehow played well together on both ends of the court; the other team was composed of superior individuals but each wanted to be the star and failed to connect as a team. We blew them out.

In putting together teams over the years (in software) sometimes you don't get to pick who you get, but you try to find out what each can do well and design things around that, to maximize what the team can do. I've rarely had a problem delivering really good results. Maybe its just luck, or maybe you can make teams with mismatched people as long as you can find some way to maximize the good and minimize the bad, unless all you have is bad.

This may be true for some degrees, but I feel like my engineering degrees were worth it and would still be worth it online. I feel like I could have gotten at least 75% of the value of my education online, especially with my Master's degree (both in Electrical Engineering). For me at least the value of my engineering degrees was in learning the fundamental approaches to solving problems, and most of my classes were lectures anyways without much interaction.

For engineering at least I think the other 25% of college should be building things, and unfortunately that is much harder online!
