Thanks, that's cool. I see Gumroad capped investments to $1000 once they saw the demand. That's not that interesting. It's great to have the opportunity to invest in private companies. I will keep an eye on it.
FAANG pay terribly in the UK.

The one I worked for wanted me to move to London, and I said fine, as long as you give me a comparable standard of living.

Nope, they took my Irish salary and converted it to GBP, and that was it (this was post Brexit, btw).

Obviously, I didn't move. And working with any engineers in the London office was a massive pain as anyone without family commitments worked in London for a year, and then transferred to the US for a massive salary bump.

The core issue is that FAANG don't benchmark against finance in London, which means that pay is pretty out of wack.

For instance, I got a 150K offer from an investment bank in London around that time, and I'm definitely not as useful in finance as I would be in tech.

It just blows my mind that they haven't fixed this to be honest (I suspect that they'll have to, now that Brexit has actually happened).
I have parked up on an icy carpark and could hardly stand up when I got out, had no problems driving off afterwards though.
Mate leetcode has nothing to do with the work of a software engineer. I do fairly well on algo tasks, but yesterday i spent the whole day figuring out how to do async requests in python Fast api unittests. It's not working out of the box and is very poorly documented.

Most of the work, especially in larger organisations is like that. Most companies don't even want elit coders, they want people who will push out reasonable code at a predictable pace and work well with others.
>And why doesn’t the E.U. send police or military to stop shipments from leaving the E.U. if they are in violation of contractual obligations or law?

Well, they are, and that is when you see the UK media accusing EU of 'vaccine nationalism', all the while Europe being one of the major exporter of vaccines, while UK & USA export zero.

> But also, as E.U. member states are suspending the AstraZeneca vaccine why is it even a problem that the shipments are leaving the E.U.?

The safety of the vaccine is under examination & completely unrelated to the procurement issues. Europe has not cancelled the order & still expects it to be fulfilled if the vaccine is deemed safe after the review process is done

> I find the response and handling of the entire situation by the E.U. to be a bit perplexing.

It's quite perplexing because we're all reading about it from the english speaking media who are a bit biased about it to say the least
In Poland it's 35 square meters of footprint of a single storey building as long as the land is designated as buildable or recreational. But it has to conform to a plethora of local zoning laws making it kind of tricky. Once you fall out of notification only proces it can take a long time to receive a permit.
European AstraZeneca supply is not being shipped to the USA. The FDA will not approve AZ until the ongoing local phase III trial is complete. In the meantime, the U.S. export restrictions still apply to American manufactured AZ doses:

Minnesota pays 30-40% more per ton for salt than NY or Ohio. Midwest governments should be using their buying power and ability to control political subdivisions to make these mergers less profitable. For commodities, this is an area where government procurement shines.

In the absence of sane Federal regulatory action, consolidation of suppliers is best addressed by consolidating demand. A state like Minnesota should be forcing cities/counties to use a single state contract and leverage that demand to pull salt in from Canada, Western NY, wherever. Then use multi-state alliances to drive more demand and concessions from suppliers.

The downside is that winner take all procurement will put incumbents out of business, but that will happen anyway.
I tried changing my results myself after watching a tutorial video on YouTube. It was stressful and when it got to a point, I got so frustrated because I was not getting it. I read a testimony in the comment section of that video about "hacksandrecovery@consultant.com" from a girl that he helped in hacking her boyfriend's phone. I didn't waste time and I contacted him as early as I could because I needed to change my results as fast as I could before my parents would demand for it. To my greatest surprise, this hacker got my job done for me within a few hours, my results were changed for real, I was really happy. I paid him though but this payment was worth it because I got desired results from him. I have since then been recommending the hacker for my friends and they have been appreciating me since then because they also got good results from him. You can also contact him on "hacksandrecovery@consultant.com" if you like. I wish you good luck.

> governments created an impression that corruption is a marginal problem, that it does not exist.

Governments create the impression that small, widespread corruption is the one that counts. The one where you pay a cop to get out of a speeding ticket, or a doctor to get better medical care. They will go out of their way to commission reports that condemn this as the real danger to society while using obscure metrics to support that idea.

At the same time they invent a word to use when governments and legislators are involved: lobbying. They write off the corruption happening at high levels even if it's responsible for fundamentally changing how society works in ways that small corruption never could. Laws that weaken the educational system, or employee's rights, that protect corporations, etc. not only are the reason for why most small corruption exists in the first place, they also damage society beyond belief. And the kind of money and favors involved dwarf the GDP of many of those "most corrupt countries in the world". Which is why governments go out of their way to make this look like fair game, it's just lobbying.

Getting the "evidence" is next to impossible because of the framework built around this. There are actual laws sending you to prison for giving $50 to a cop to get out of a fine, or the cop for taking it, written by the same people who wrote the law that allows one to pay $50M to a legislator to pass a "favorable" law. Of course there are some nuances that are always the go to for justifying how lobbying isn't bribery but they're all just as solid as saying "beautiful kids, it would be a shame if something... happened to them" is not extortion.
Or you could cover every residential building and parking lot's rooftop with solar panels and have charging stations for cars, and low cost electricity for the entire block, neighborhood, and city.

This problem of "energy" in particular electricity, can be solved, but requires buy in from millions of different parties (HOAs, building owners, real estate developers). Unless the law changes where you can compel / force these stake-holders to adopt solar panels, change will never come at scale in urban areas. It's possible, it just requires so much buy in from so many individual entities.
Are you me? Perhaps a little bit later on and a different set of signifiers (foobar2000/xp/celeron 1.7) but the same idea. Things were so much snappier back then than on my previously-SOTA MBPR 2019. Sigh.
I don't know how important it was in big scheme of things, but saving money on the dose cost was the silliest thing I've ever heard. I've spent more money on tortilla chips this week than they saved on the doses. I would gladly pay $100/dose out of pocket for a vaccine at this point. I'm not sure if the dose cost made any difference in how fast the vaccines got made, but any time spent trying to get the cost down below the US and UK rates was wasted.
I am suspicious of this product, but using an i3 as base and just designing the photovoltaic cover seems like a good idea, they don't have to sustain the costs of developing a full electric car and can still deliver on their main value added (the "self charging" bit).
In all countries, you have but to prove to some lowly paid telco employee's satisfaction that you are the owner of the number. That is not a serious impediment.

Well, Android 5.1 was EOL in 2015, so you willingly bought an unsupported model. I'm not saying Android has any sensible long-term support (in fact, I spent the last weekend installing LineageOS because my 2018 phone doesn't have support anymore), but this instance is hardly Google's fault.

There is a middle ground. At sourcehut we don't use Docker, but we do use CI/CD and automate deployments. We have something like 12 dedicated hosts colocated in a local datacenter and we use virt-manager to host virtual machines - basically self-hosted VPS lite. It's a lot simpler and more robust, and easier to keep everything up to date. Fewer moving parts == more reliable software.

While this is cool, it doesn't look like something very different from other existing JVM compiler plugins... it seems quite similar to Javac plugins[0] and perhaps somewhere in between that and Groovy AST transformers[1].

Manifold[2] is basically a javac plugin if I'm not mistaken, and it shows just how powerful stuff can be accomplished with this approach (including e.g. auto-generation of Java types from common modelling languages like GraphQL, JSON, YAML etc. adds extension methods, unit expressions, ranges, C++-like preprocessors, structural subtyping, even crazy stuff like type-safe reflection - like Ceylon used to have!).

For Groovy, besides the built-in AST annotations like `@Immutable` and `@Canonical` (which turns a class into a data class, basically), you can achieve stuff like the Spock Testing Framework[3] which changes the Groovy syntax a little bit to make it really awesome for testing.

This study shows that myelination increase with a combination of 'healthy fats' and exercise:

"High-fat diet in combination with exercise training increases myelin protein expression. PLP and MBP levels were highest in the group that exercised and consumed a high-fat diet. Exercise training or high fat consumption alone also increased PLP. MBP levels in the ERD and the SHF groups were not significantly different." [0]

Yeah the unfortunate situation of Android devices means that you may have only just bought the phone but if it isn't supported you could be running a very old OS version.

In this case I think Android 5 was 2014, so almost 7 years old a this point.

The tractor is a Ferguson TE20 "Grålle" from 1946, they were wildly used to move timber. In 1950 the first chainsaws came to Sweden but they were too big and heavy to be practical. I didn't want to take down every closest tree. So by using the tractor (also as a little tribute) I could haul a few trees from further away, about 150 meters. I would have loved to use a horse but don't have one. yet..

The real contradiction is that by recording this project with the intention to publish this movie to the world I'm afraid that he totally missed out on the very nature connection that he states he wanted to have.

The risk profile for vaccines overlaps almost perfectly with the risk profile for COVID.

That is, the age groups most at-risk from the virus (ages 70+, with comorbidities) are also going to live the shortest, and so suffer from fewer side-effects as well as not reproducing.

So why aren't the rollouts focused on vaccinating the elderly first? By the time this is done the kinks will be ironed out.

From a purely idealistic point of view, I'd think the following -- note: the world isn't idealistic but too complicated for me to understand. The first argument is a pro free market argument, the second argument is a pro regulated market argument.

So pure right wing capitalists should probably tend to be pro drugs and pro weapons and pro selling everything (maybe a bit more extreme right, I'm bad with political terms). Left wing socialists should be pro regulation and scrutinize weapons and drugs and how it should be sold.

My stance: regulate it. Make sure people can take it, but have a healthcare worker supervise it. And definitely open it up for research, it doesn't make any sense that some drugs are illegal to research. All kinds of dangerous things can be scrutinized under research, yet when it's drugs then somehow it's not possible? It doesn't make sense.

Note: where I'm from socialism means an amazing welfare state like a Scandinavian country.

The most interesting hypothesis, bordering on conspiracy theory, I've heard about Hawking recently is that by 2000 or shortly after, his communication bandwidth was so low that it's impossible to know if virtually all his more complex communication, lectures, etc. were scripted by those in his inner circle.

Suggesting that famous people traded on his name may not go far enough. Was Hawking, post-~2000, merely a vehicle through which his inner circle of students/collaborators/children got access to an audience?

Who had access to his voice synthesizer, and could it could be overridden remotely? Hardly anything he said would have been "live" other than simple yes/no answers or, in less formal contexts where people would wait for them, short phrases. His talks were certainly not live communication; they were pre-written (raising the question, by whom?) even if nobody was using him as a puppet in realtime. At what point did any of it, any of his interactions, stop being live or genuine? Who would know about and reveal any unethical behavior, especially if it meant revealing their own abuse of access to gain an audience for their own work or interests?

I had very horrible side effects from Levaquin for an asymptomatic infection I was diagnosed with. They gave me 12 hour doses, which I took twice .. I had fever, nausea, severe joint pain, and a lot more.

Later, both in the US and the UK, future doctors, when describing this to them, said I was misinformed, that probably I was sick, these are not side effects.

No, they're misinformed, and I'm deeply suspicious of the medical profession.
It's weird that programming languages (or at least languages like Haskell, Idris, Agda) don't have "typeset" versions that are easier on the eye of seasoned mathematical readers. I know before Haskell was Squiggol, but Squiggol is almost comically terse.

When we're discussing a math whiteboard we verbalize symbols. This over that inverse. I had a calculus teacher who pronounced $\partial$ as "derron, derram" something and it took me ten years to realize this probably meant deRham. Anyway, programming languages (when derived from first principles or whatever, at least, but probably also for languages like Rust with schizo rhizome generics) could be thought as a more formal verbalization of a symbolic logico-algebraic notation -- even if the latter is a bit of an ambiguous idealization, much like what newbies learn before getting their hands wet. I mean, maths in general is like this.

That supermarket article you are talking about specifically talks about a "British" goods supermarket abroad, which is to be expected, frankly. Regular supermarkets are fine?

I believe NI's problems are specifically UK based, general goods supermarkets, which are the most common, having issues stocking shelves (Sainsbury's had to get items from SPAR, because SPAR are EU based and thus have the infrastructure/customs stuff sorted out).
