And more:

* The list of people who can access this system must be documented

* The accounts must have their password be changed every 6 months

* A committee must review the set of outstanding patches and upgrades for known issues every 4 months and prioritize what to fix

* I hope that someone is actually installing those patches and upgrades.

>I would like nothing better than to report the UK's response had been good

It's not about UK's response being good or bad. I'm not seeing evidence of any particular COVID strategy working wonders. Especially in the presence of confounding factors like different viral strains, climates, population densities and centers, age demographics, testing strategies, data gathering methodologies (e.g. how the dead are counted as 'COVID' cases), etc. etc. etc.

Are you sure you're doing an apples-to-apples comparison when you just read a number from some internet dashboard?

What is the magic answer to COVID? Masks and Lockdowns? California and New York have been at a mask mandate and full lockdown since March/April. Florida has been largely open throughout the entire time. Texas was somewhere in the middle (though more like Florida). For months Florida and Texas were beaten up by the press while New York and California were praised. I'm looking at their population-controlled case counts and death rates [1][2] and California, Texas and Florida are basically identical. New York has been under lockdown, and their death rate is through the roof most likely because they made one huge mistake in their retirement home policy early on.

It's going to take us years to figure out what happened.

>When you claim that British numbers are on par with other European nations per-capita, and you offer no citations

Come on, we're looking at the same numbers but that's not the point. You can't just do a straight numbers comparison. What I'm seeing is every country struggling with this in pretty much the same way. I'm sure some are doing something better than others. But AGAIN, hard to figure out what that is given its close to impossible to control for all kinds of variables. Talk to me 5 years after the pandemic is over - we'll have some good answers then.

> Neither of those things is okay, because sexual orientation is immutable, not a choice.

I don’t think it is that uncommon to have phases and be heterosexual for a while and homosexual for another. I haven’t seen a convincing proof that it is immutable, though I think you’re right when you say that it’s not (necessarily) a choice.

But you’re basically using the reasoning the OP found unhelpful, just swapping immutability instead of genetics. You should not be protected from discrimination because you are something you did not chose; you should be protected because you’re a human and deserve the same opportunities as any other. Who cares with whom you want to have sex?

> As to things that are choices, such as polygamy and adultery, the government can certainly punish people for those, even in western countries.

It is just as wrong when it’s done to enforce narrow moral norms and a reactionary view of sexuality. Again, who cares, as long as both parties consent and nobody gets hurts?

Polygamy is different and raise more issues than just 2 humans having sex.

I like the exercise of extrapolating from the history of life on Earth to get an idea of how likely life is to develop elsewhere. Life on Earth likely appeared very soon after the surface cooled enough for liquid water. It was so soon that it seems like single cell life might be downright common in any place with stable liquid water.

On the other hand, it took billions of years for complex multi-cellular life to evolve. The Cambrian explosion was just 541 million years ago and quickly resulted in intelligence on branches as disparate as mammals and cephalopods.

I think it's quite possible that the Cambrian is the rare and special thing and that the universe may be teaming with microbes but not fish.

At this point i feel like any startup whose pitch is « just like this gafa product, but i’m not a gafa » is going to be successful.

Those companies have reached such a huge discrepancy between the amount of cash they generate, while at the same time pissing on their very own consumer / producer base, all that with the most self-righteous attitude, that « not a gafa » is going to be an immensely attractive proposition.
CLOS doesn’t require the use of mutation and in fact has explicit options to make data read-only. So it’s a matter of personal discipline whether you mutate or not, though I’d say it’s entirely idiomatic to mutate.
That's a ridiculous assumption to make. Bitcoin's value comes from speculation, not from anything of value in the real world. The price could tank to $500 tomorrow, because there is no government, no trust, and nothing in the real world backing it up other than hype. In light of this USD devaluation seems like a way less risky alternative.

I don't know if I understand what you're asking... what meaning would there be in measuring "an odd number of galaxies within a specific radius of a red giant star"? It would be purely from our point of view, those galaxies might look like in a radius in a flat representation but they are incredibly far away from each other and the red giant star it's waaay closer to us than those galaxies. Same kind of reasoning applies to the other examples... could you elaborate a bit?

Eh. Color me skeptical. A big problem in Canada is that the big telecomm companies are constantly lobbying to increase prices. For example, in 2019 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced lower infrastucture rental rates for companies like Teksavvy (one of the smaller internet providers, who uses Rogers/Bell infrastructure), but was pressured after the fact to raise them by threats from the big carriers of holding off investment in rural Canada. Result: rates increased.

"High speed" in Canada is pretty expensive: a 50mbps plan goes for about CAD$90. For comparison, a similar plan in the US goes for USD$45 (CAD$57)

The big canadian telecomms are also highly dysfunctional. AT&T support is actually good in comparison.

>The UK has suffered more deaths—controlled for population—than almost any other country.

Are there any confounding factors that need to be controlled for? Like different viral strains, climates, population densities and centers, testing strategies, data gathering methodologies (e.g. how the dead are counted as 'COVID' cases), population age distributions.

Are you sure you're doing apples-to-apples comparison?
That is true I forgot that one.
That's because we passed the "We have to pay this off" point, passed the "Our children have to pay this off" point, passed the "It's okay if we never pay off the national debt as long as our GDP grows faster than it", and are now at "Now is not the time to worry about the debt, people are revolting on the streets!"

>the staff+ level engineers are measured by impact.

That's a good description. And the reality is that while, as you say, there are master engineers who can crank out great inventions largely autonomously, the vast bulk do so in large part by mentoring and guiding others. I know many distinguished engineers and SDEs who are ICs. But at least the ones I know spend most of their time communicating and working with others. Open source project maintainers often describe themselves as primarily editors.

Some are actually managers (which carry more formal administrative responsibilities) and some aren't. But almost none of them are largely working on their own because it's really hard (especially outside of a research context and even then) to have maximum impact that way.
Honestly? Who cares about cost savings?

Computers are stupidly cheap slave workers and are easy to spin up compared to dev time. Does it actually matter in almost any profitable business?

The speed argument is a much better argument imo, but we have to think if 100-300ms is worth the tradeoff of a great framework with a strong community. (I've not seen anything come near the beauty of Rails in Java, SpringBoot is not it. Last I checked there was no good SideKiq alternatives which feels kinda vital for most apps)

If a Rails app can handle only 300rqs that's over 1 million requests served an hour. A SpringBoot app handling say 2000rqs? Thats 7.2million a hour definitely a shit ton more but you know what, I'll probably just set the EC2 autoscale to 7 more instances and pay the extra $1000 a month because its still a magnitude of 10x cheaper than developer time. I can see your point in keeping server count low for simplicity being an advantage but not enough to persuade.

I say all this but I do like the speed argument, I think its important that we keep web requests fast for a better user experience. I mean Stripe, Shopify, GitHub all get by on the slowness that is Ruby but I will say that lately GitHub has been super slow for each page request but GitLab has been very fast which is also Rails.

There is another view point if you are operating on a slim margin business that keeping infrastructure costs tiny is important and that's another case for a faster backend for sure.

Now the interpreted lang vs statically type lang argument I can agree with, I hope for a language that sits somewhere between Java and Ruby. It seems Crystal fits that bill at the moment but has no backer and will be years off a great ecosystem if it takes off.
The issue is that that strikes me as being incredibly socially inefficient. This town is probably going to be suuuper careful with water system security from here on out but the next town over might hit the same issue a few years down the line.

This has been wondered for years, usually by people who don't know the purpose of hashing functions. If nuclear fusion models + protein folding were easily verifiable, then there would be no point in leveraging distributed computing for them - we'd have the same level of understanding for them as we do for contrived hashing functions. If they somehow also ended up with the difficulty directionality intentionally designed for in cryptography, then that would be fine. But that is pretty unlikely, and in that event your currency is totally hacked and useless.

The State of Ruby Formatters
In an immune suppressed individual treated with convalescent plasma, this treatment changed the viral population to favor a viral strain that was able to escape the antibodies.

In a related way, implementing large scale vaccination while large numbers of infected people interact with immunized people sounds like an efficient way to discover vaccine-escaping strains. This vaccine-escaping selection should be more than offset by the fact that vaccination will result in fewer infections and lessen the opportunity for more, worse strains to evolve.

Still, it would be better if we could avoid exposing a huge population of immunized people to a huge population of infected people. It's obvious everything would be better with fewer infected people, but it's still dawning on some that benefits include fewer strains and maybe more effective vaccination impacts.

People who have multi-generational relationship with the land and habitat, often do not have that college training, and yes, may include something "ignorant" in their testimony.. yet, science has "discovered" that wolverines do this or wolverines need that .. onward..
