what should they have done differently? they signed a contract and assumed the other party will honor it. the other party chose to not honor it, which was a big gamble. we'll see how that will work out for them in the long term, now that they irritated most EU countries.

they did the same with pfizer and that seems to work.

US is blocking exports, "americans first". EU didn't do that but now they have to since the supplier doesn't care about contracts.

Winter tires and/or tire chains were uncommon where I grew up in a midsized city of the Great Lakes region. We regularly got multiple feet of snowfall, and depended mainly on city plows and salt trucks. I only encountered tire chains with any frequency when I moved to the West Coast, mostly in the context of driving to Lake Tahoe.
SMS is completely insecure. Not only can it be passively sniffed along the way, not only can malicious actors reroute your number, not only can pretty much any employee at your telco access it, not only can pretty much any employee at your telco get tricked into rerouting it, but by default (and therefore for the vast majority of users), it'll show up while the phone is locked!

It's equivalent to taping your key to your back door. Sure, someone has to go to your back door first to see it, but then they're in.

FWIW we recently started using the Yocto-based BalenaOS[0] in our project and have been rather happy with it because we get to focus on developing and running our software and don't have to bother with the low-level hardware stuff too much.

Unfortunately, as we're getting closer to shipping our product, we've realized that Balena seems to be rather cavalier when it comes to respecting software licenses. They offer pre-built .img files and Docker base images but don't provide a comprehensive list of licenses (let alone the source code) of third-party software components anywhere, as this issue[1] attests to. I'm currently talking to one of their customer service representatives and, as of this morning (when they sent me another email), they don't even acknowledge that this is an issue.

Looks like we'll now have to compile this list on our own. :\

> the people burning down the forests are very much NOT the starving poor

Hmm. Growing up in a developed industrial economy must be lovely. So the communities who've lived in or by said forrests are a non issue? You know, the people who've lived there for centuries if not longer. People to whom the forest isn't just a bunch of trees but home.

Because middle class brazilians in Rio or Cruziero can afford Macdonalds, so there are no poor people and woo woo we can burn down the forest to plant soy and make grazing land for cattle? That's it? Were going to burn millenia old forests just so Macdonalds can make more beef burgers. A fucking burger?

Indonesia is losing their forests to Doritoes. A fucking chip. Future generations better make usuable manure of our bones.

One of my accounts requires a phone number to verify every single time I login. I have no clue why, and it accepts absolutely any phone number.

I have no clue what the purpose is aside from forcing me to give sensitive information to other people when my phone isn't available or I'm traveling (which I've been forced to do already).
“That old”, and yet the phone’s not even three years old (my instance of the model, that is; the model was at that point two years old and is thus now five years old). Sigh.

I said prepaid, but as I did it it’s actually postpaid but with an initial $10 prepayment required. Ah, good times back in 2014–2017, getting those bills for less than a dollar (commonly 12¢) every quarter. Then I moved to a tiny country town where an Optus tower a few hundred metres away became my best option for internet, 50/25Mbps and far more solid than any NBN anecdote I’ve heard.

Yes that's correct, it's not possible to directly observe these objects at the moment.
It likely falls under "interoperability" and I'm sure things like VMWare et al have been doing similar for years.
oh, sure - both model multi-dimensional situations, just not necessarily with spatio-temporal semantics (see the famous data warehouse example of a sales cube: time x products x subsidiaries). Operations on abstract level are relatively similar - a rollup from days to weeks is pretty similar to scaling an image by 7. Then, there are various differences in detail, depending on the domain.
Then we wouldn't be able to eat it off of the roads.
As far as I can tell it is false:

But tsc clock freq according to max non-turbo ration reported by MSR 0xce is 28 (* 100MHz) = 2.8GHz

As I understand it, tsc ticks at a constant rate according to this value.

"A SAFE (“Simple Agreement for Future Equity”) is very different from traditional common stock and it is important to understand these differences in order to make an informed investment decision that is right for you.

"A SAFE is an agreement between you, the investor, and the company in which the company generally promises to give you a future equity stake in the company if certain trigger events occur. Not all SAFEs are the same and the very important terms governing when you may get the future equity may vary across the SAFEs being offered in different crowdfunding offerings. Despite its name, a SAFE may not be “simple” or “safe.”

Buying an acre of forest in Northern Sweden is not expensive, less than $2k. Even close to Stockholm it's not much more than that, so it's really not a relevant concern if you are willing to spend a year building your own house.

As to building codes, they are very strict in zoned areas, possibly the strictest in the world, but it's much more relaxed in rural areas. Plus even in zoned areas you can always build a 30 m2 supplemental building. Plus a 15 m2 shed.

> considered too boring

Would you really find it interesting to watch the process of him signing the contract to acquire the land? I can't think of anything less exciting than that.
> If you're felling a large amount of trees in a forest, at the bare minimum you need the blessing of the land owner (if that isn't you).

Great memories: I spend an entire summer building a primitive "log cabin" from young trees as a kid with a few friends in the forest behind my parent's house. After the cabin was nearly finished, we were chased one day by a group of adults (apparently the owners of the forest) and hid a few hours deep in the woods. We only returned the next spring, when we finished the roof. I remember how proud we were when we cycled to the hardware store one day and bought a cheap lock for the cabin door. We lost interest the next year, of course, but the cabin remained intact for years. The local kindergarten used to go there for a few years.
"Its [salt] main use is deicing our roads ..."

I thought this sounded surprising, salt is used for lots of things, and it'd be surprising if road use was the main one. So I went to look, found a bunch of sources, including [1] and indeed this does not look to be correct.
Further down the article acknowledges that indeed only about 40% of salt is used for deicing roads, but it really annoys me when writers knowingly write misleading statements at the top of their piece for "impact".

The article also fails to mention that there are a number of alternatives available if it's infeasible to acquire salt in sufficient quantities, such as CMA[2]. Currently CMA is about 13x more expensive, but that would seem to put some sort of constraint on just how much price gouging is possible, especially as CMA and similar alternatives have a lot of significant upsides, such as much less vehicle damage and environmental impact.

Coming from spending a lot of time working in OpenEmbedded build systems to now trying to work in buildroot has been quite painful and annoying for me. Buildroot lacks a LOT of the features and capabilities which OE and bitbake offer.

Possibly I am just not familiar enough yet with buildroot, or I just am too stuck in thinking how OE/bitbake work, but I much prefer working with OE/bitbake over using buildroot in a professional context.

Yes, OE/bitbake have a MUCH steeper learning curve once you get past the "hello world" level of examples. But once you're trying to do somewhat complicated things, I have found OE/bitbake to be amazingly flexible and easy to customize.
Literally everything possible somehow. They tried to haggle a price and as a result they are in the back of the queue. The EU is unaccountable and the member states are paying for their lies. (France and Italy also have a lot of the blame)
Negative Views of China Harden in Canada on Arbitrary Detentions
Sure. It makes sense, law should be protecting public health - it is a fair assumption. Now, there is a disagreement on the methods, whether making drugs more accessible would have a positive impact on the public health. A common basic argument just going per analogiam with alcohol doesn't have any sense in this context. It's a bit like a child's argument: "other children can binge youtube, why can't I, mommy?". Other arguments, like the lack of quality control in the illegal market, are different - they can't be reversed in such a childish manner and should be taken seriously.

PS Your point of view is very US-centric, I assure you the arguments against drugs in country I live might have been invalid, but definitely not racist.
In most of the northern US, that wouldn't make much of a difference without properly plowed and salted roads.

Winter tires are no help, for instance, when you're on what amounts to a sheet of ice.

They're also no help when you're in 2 feet of snow.

They're a big help at the margins, and it's definitely worth the investment in many, many cases, but they're absolutely no substitute for sufficient road treatment.
It never occurred to me to seek such a thing. As I wrote my earlier comment here, I wondered to myself whether there might be an app or service to help with this, but it’s too late now. But even then, I’m not sure I’d want to leave a phone plugged in all year, even with its battery removed.

They did. They blocked shipments from a factory in Italy. But this is a bad idea for all sorts of reasons:

1. No actual contract violation appears to be occurring. See my other comments.

2. Supply chains for vaccines are long and complex. The EU risks retaliation by other countries that block supplies to them in return.

3. EU has publicly proclaimed many times it hates the idea of "vaccine nationalism" as it calls it, by which it means countries blocking exports of things. Then they did it, it makes them hypocritical.

4. When governments intervene in third party contracts it makes that part of the world less safe to do business. The company is out of pocket and left to pick up the pieces with the customers. Companies hate that and it's ultimately companies, in a capitalist economy, who do the bulk of the work in society. So making it hard for them to do that means you're less likely to have such companies next time around.

Indeed EU already has a problem in the sense that most vaccines are produced by companies outside its borders, even if some factories are within it.

As for why they are suspending the vaccine whilst also demanding more of it, the suspensions appear to be political? AZ have claimed that the rate of blood clotting issues is actually lower in the vaccinated population than the average population, i.e. vaccines are not causing those issues, it's just coincidence. I don't really know how to interpret this claim - would that imply the vaccine is actually suppressing blood clotting problems? But so far AZ have a track record of making correct claims, and the EU does not, so I am inclined to believe them if that's what the stats say (they don't try to explain the lower incidence rates amongst vaccinated populations, just note that it exists).
I still don't understand your point. For your argument to be valid, you'd have to assert that a factory can build new mail trucks faster than you could add charging points.

There will be one factory pumping out cars on a specialised, serial production line. It will be competing with 30 thousand locations operating in parallel.
Ursula Van der Leyen actually tried that and it's considered its biggest political mistake : https://industryeurope.com/sectors/politics-economics/ec-pre...

Basically by doing so the EU would take Ireland "hostage" over its commercial war with the UK, and it's something the Irish people took very badly.

Concerning the suspension, we just don't have enough info. The EU medical authority is due to talk officially about it next Thursday, but if every EU country is suspending it in advance, I think it will be officially banned/suspended
Maybe. But the reason they would say it is because it can be a valid excuse, right? We fund the state and the justice system for a few very specific reasons. This is one of them.

Also, don't forget that FB is a (near) monopoly, so the advertisers depend on them just as much as the customers. Especially the small ones.
> To further push the point that many things are Turing complete and that it should not be seen as synonymous with complex, Gwern has a nice list of Surprisingly Turing complete things [0] that includes Peano Arithmetic, Pokemon Yellow and Magic the Gathering.

If you know how to reach Turing completeness in those systems, you wouldn't call any of those "simple".

MtG for instance is considered one of the more complicated card games.

Pokemon Yellow's turing completeness proof involved arbitrary code execution by swapping memory locations around.

Peano axioms / Arithmetic underlies an entire theory of abstract mathematics.

---------------

EDIT: I think decidable is an important attribute of systems that are weaker than Turing Complete. There are still very powerful decidable equations (ex: 3SAT, most famously), which has an answer (either satisfiable, or unsatisfiable), but may need O(2^n) time (or longer) to calculate the result.

Turing Complete is only semi-decidable: if something halts it will halt in finite time. If something won't halt, you'll never know.

> but half of that capacity is used to supply the UK & the USA

This isn't my understanding
It sounds like you're saying that we cannot change the way things work and that it's not even worth discussing how we think it could be better. I would say that is patently false (the statement that we cannot change things) and downright horrifying (the statement that we should not even discuss how it could be better). We should always be looking for ways to make our government (and civil employees) perform their roles (both by limiting the bad actions and facilitating the good).
Also it makes security clearances harder to get (although IME they freak out more over piracy than light drug use.)

I trust the lady that spent her whole life on mRNA, gives a dose with >3x more mg than Pfizer’s and requires less refrigeration than Pfizer’s

But thats at the top of the list, I would take any of the vaccines on the market except the one touted by China.

I would take the Sputnik V, for example.

I’ve researched them all and am comfortable with the methodology of each, except the one touted by China.

I’ve talked with people bothered by the vaccination and there isnt much nuance or awareness of geopolitics or many times even awareness that there are like 5 vaccines, some using different technology. Makes it easier to keep with my convictions.
Eat some mushrooms, then will feel completely natural.
Hey I'm all for the vaccine, but lets be real about it. Humans struggle with productization. Games, phones, cars, and everything else we make have problems initially (and frequently after any small changes) because we have to come up with a repeatable and robust process for producing, packaging, shipping, delivery, etc, which may have totally different requirements from prototyping and development. Furthermore, these processes have a myriad of unknown unknowns -- with failure points we don't anticipate until they happen (complex systems).

This is another (very very) complex system with a relatively untested technology in an extremely noisy deployment environment. Every user is running a different OS basically, and every deployment corrupts the deployment image to some degree (RNA breakdown). Problems were bound to occur, and yes, the extent of those challenges are likely being downplayed to avoid panic and to get people to take the vaccine.

On the question of motivation: global pandemic, billions in R&D spent, pressure from people on politicians, etc. The usual set of unavoidable human reasons to release products before they are 100% tested (since 100% testing can only really happen in the wild anyway). Combine that with politicization of every topic, and the inability of the public at large to handle any nuance (e.g. "there may be some problems in production, but we believe overall it is worth the risks and won't pose a major problem because of X, Y, and Z.")
Do you mean dpkg/rpm/apt/yum/pacman/etc? These require root access and per-manager, and often in practice even per distribution version, specific instructions.
Not meaning to bash them, I still like them, but the actual problem of ensuring stable interfaces is not solved. Conan and these and other package managers are only automata that provide value under the hypothesis of stable interfaces.

We now know from them failing to redact the contracts properly that the EU were lying and AZ wasn't breaching anything. It's simple, you order last, you get delivered to last.
no, I don't think it matters when you sign the contract. it only matters what's written in the contract.

so unless the contract explicitly said "EU gets vaccines only after other countries get vaccines", this is just a meme.
