Well... Article published 40 minutes ago:

The European Union medicines regulator has reiterated there is "no indication" that the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid jab causes blood clots, after several countries paused their rollouts.

European Medicines Agency (EMA) head Emer Cooke said she remained "firmly convinced" that the benefits of the vaccine outweighed any risks.

But even if the blood clots observed are in fact due to the vaccine the numbers are so small that it seems to me irresponsible to suspend vaccination and to publicise this so much.

The fact that they're showing up at Spotify's offices then shows even more why they're not making money. They seemingly don't understand the business they're in... at all.

They sign shitty contracts that leave them with "virtually nothing" and then complain to someone who is not responsible for them having "virtually nothing".

What's particularly neat about Buildroot is the support for reproducible builds.

I have an old project for building container images using buildroot ( https://github.com/br-containers/br-containers ) that I need to pick back up soon. Highly reproducible redis server images weighing in at under 10mb, with your choice of libc under it.

> the statute describes two ways in which an OSP can be put on notice of infringing material on its system: 1) notice from the copyright owner, known as notice and take down, and 2) the existence of "red flags."

> The "red flag" test contains both a subjective and an objective element. Subjectively, the OSP must have knowledge that the material resides on its system. Objectively, the "infringing activity would have been apparent to a reasonable person operating under the same or similar circumstances."

TL;DR: A half page automated email from a content owner has to be acted on expeditiously, can only be overturned with a lawsuit, and there's no penalty for abusing the system. Big content owners put a lot of money in the pockets of legislators to get such obviously biased laws in their favor.

The takedown example here [0] requires all of 30 minutes of effort to be able to send notices as fast as your internet connection allows it. At this point all protections the OSP (YouTube) has are removed.

The "red flag" process sets the bar just as low for the content owners. No OSP wants to test challenging this out in court knowing they make an enemy out of big content owners and even expose themselves to targeted attacks and more liability.

But worse, the law puts a hell of a burden on the allegedly infringing party (the YouTube user) who has to fight in court against an automated email. Given the imbalance of power you'd expect the legislation to propose some penalty for abuse, like rapidly increasing fines for each false flag. It does not. It is solely aimed at "expeditiously" complying with the demand of the content owner leaving the other party with an impossible fight if they want the situation corrected.

There is no reasonable interpretation where setting such a low bar for content owners but such a high bar for everyone else has anything to do with fairness. Big name content owners payed for this, and the US legislators took the money and delivered. YouTube and Twitter simply have no bone to pick with them and would rather stay out of the fight by complying without objections.

Yea, i applaud them for having fun with this and making content they and many others can enjoy. But it's not for me. I think my "cringe" comes from a form of empathy where i envision myself there doing the same thing, and i am _not_ confident enough to do this lol. I loathe public speaking, i freeze up and nearly faint (seriously). So i can't even come close to watching these types of presentations and enjoy them.

Nothing to do with the presenters, everything to do with me. But i'm glad they had fun and that people enjoy it :)

If your compiler is optimizing for speed, you can you write the program in a way so that the compiler can unroll the loop and hopefully make it branchless as well
I don't know about Germany, but The Netherlands has a significant market for second hand cars, and many cars, including German ones, are sold for serious amounts of money when they are 10 years old.

It is instructive to go to scrapyards. Typically many parts of a car are quite cheap. Some parts has some sort of design error and fail in almost all cars of the same model. However that varies from model to model and from brand to brand.

Of course, the lease market prefers low maintainance costs. So it makes sense for manufactures to optimize in reducing those costs during typical maintainance periods. But that does not imply that after 5 years or so, maintainance is suddenly sky high.

I can see how it's "funny" if one is trying to minimize and deflect, but if they're hanging around characters like maduro then they're probably referring to more than just economic or government theory - these people see themselves as full blown subversive revolutionaries.

And then if you consider the spread of critical theory and postmodernism and the general influence of the Frankfurt school through our institutions, then the overtly "anti-establishment" protesting and rioting spearheaded by BLM and Antifa (which "doesn't exist", "isn't an organization", sure, how typically "revolutionary") starts to look very much like the start of a subversive, insurrectionist ploy, much like that of the bolsheviks that lead to the disaster of a government that my family fled.

And then it really isn't funny to me at all. And it also isn't funny to me when one considers that part of the rise of the Nazi party pre WWII can be attributed the behavior of very similar "revolutionary" communists who also were running destroying businesses and beating up citizens on the street for disagreement. No, I'd say such an overtly insurrectionist movement evolving openly in the US is not funny at all.

This trope keeps being repeated. It isn’t true. Whatsapp was on and off charging iPhone users $1 one time vs being free. Android users got the first year free then a small fraction paid $1 once or $1/year.

Most probably estimates are that 5% of Android users ever paid. While a bigger possibly majority fraction paid $1 for the iPhone app.

It wasn’t sustainable.

> The Apple question "why isn't this easy" is missing from 95% of UX in modern software.

I switched to a MacBook at work a few months ago, and it's been an epic of frustration and Googling: e.g.,

1. I set the keyboard layout to UK PC, but it kept switching back to default. (I was accidentally mashing a keyboard shortcut designed to do just that. I've since disabled it.)

2. Clicking on a link or other web-page element will, occasionally and apparently randomly, take me back a page or two in my history rather than opening the link or activating the element. (At least in Chrome: I've not used another browser on macOS yet.)

3. Command-tabbing to a minimised application does not, as one would naively expect, automatically unminimise it. Instead I'm left staring at an apparently unchanged screen.

4. If I open Finder in a given folder, there is, as best can tell, no easy way to navigate to that folder's parent.

Now arguably #1 was the fault of my own ignorance (though some kind of obvious feedback as to what was happening and why would have been nice), and #2 may be down to Google rather than Apple.

But #3 and #4 are plain bad design, bordering on user-hostile.

So far I'm not seeing that Apple's reputation for superior UX is justified, at least not in laptops.
One person can join a union. They might, depending on the union, get extra insurance or legal representation or some other benefit not tied to negotiation with the employer. A one-person strike is generally considered a resignation, though. One core function of a union is as a collective bargaining group. It's difficult to collectively bargain when your collection is one person.

In late 2019, I finally unloaded a 1997 2-seater I hadn't driven in the winter for quite a long time. The car was from the last model year (Honda del Sol) and was a minor cult thing.

Not necessarily, if you have access to a heat pump for instance you could get

A lot of the money in the industry is made by private music royalty funds that buy the rights to music and earn proceeds on their usage. Its a good investment (especially during covid) not available to retail investors.

There is financial innovation that could happen to improve the outcomes for artists.

Many asset classes previously unavailable to the public (private reits, real estate syndications, art investing, wine investing) have been brought downmarket with crowdfunding.

There is green space for a music royalty fund that optimizes for artist benefit over profits and is available to the public.

That's true, but I think something like SAFE is very different from crowdfunding for equity (and much more risky and misnamed, it can be neither simple nor safe).

That intersection you mention will be an interesting place in the time to come. I don't think we've found the sweet spot between "only professionals can invest", "the retail investors take on huge risks and aren't aware because of wild models with strange names" and "the company can't raise medium amounts because the regulation surrounding the process would cost much more than they would get", but I'm sure somebody is working on it.

The great thing about modern day activism is that just about anyone who is willing can join the decentralized movement. But, there is also an official institution/organization controlling the purse strings and spending the donation money. I think it's more important to look at the formal organization's activities because spending money moves the needle when it comes to societal change.
Yeah, but given that `mod` (if we’re talking native integers rather than some bigint type) is implemented as a single machine instruction, i’d count that as branchless for all reasonable intents and purposes even though the hardware has to internally do something equivalent to a loop to do division.
I rented a house in the UK which had solar panels but we never received any money from the electricity generated with it(I knew that's the deal going in, but still).
Largely the same thing happened at Blackberry.

Because the iPhone was an AT&T exclusive in the US, Verizon pressured Blackberry to rush the release of their first touchscreen device, the BB Storm. It was released as a Verizon exclusive in late 2008, and coincided with the release of HTC/Tmobile G1, the first Android phone.

BB tried to argue that BBOS6 was a click trackball based OS and would not transition to touch well. In the end they went for a bizarre hybrid design where the screen pushed down when you tapped something on the screen. Like a button would. I got used to it over time but the first time I used it, I thought I'd dislocated the screen.

Within a year, Verizon realized it wasn't going to rival AT&T w/ BB, and had Motorola create the Droid brand, which may have been one of the most popular Android phones in the US before Samsung arrived.

> I suppose "consider the source" is at play here. From what I can tell, this site is nothing but the blogosphere version of some garbage neocon beltway think tank.

Thomas Chatterton Williams writes for New York Times Magazine and is (or I suppose now _was_, as either he has moved or his detractors will disown him) well known as on the left, as he writes at the beginning of the article. Maybe you think it’s beyond the pale for left wingers to consider the viewpoints of others outside of their “tribe” as having some merit but this “garbage neocon beltway think tank” appears to be _liberal_ enough to do the same as the writer.

The prevalence of the _you’re either with us or you’re against us_ attitude is why he was one of the signatories (and writer of an early draft) of the “Letter on Justice and Open Debate“[0] in Harper’s.

As the letter states:

I've gone completely the opposite. I seem to have made more mistakes as I've gotten older (35y) and learning seems to go more slowly. Some of them are mistakes you'd expect someone with 0-1 years of experience to make, even though I've got 5 or so. It's all downhill from here, I guess.

> - billions per week of half assed lockdown vs a few billion more for high quality timeley vaccine delivieries of the good stuff --- of course they chose the lockdown

This is not the issue. A few billion would not have magically solved the problems with vaccine deliveries. The EU has contracts with pharmaceutical companies which these companies are not honoring sometimes intentionally so.

AstraZeneca for example doesn't have the production capacity to supply what they promised to the EU even if the Belgian site was working properly. That's the result of the EU audit. These companies are betting that the consequence of them not fullfiling their contractual obligation will be insignificant compared to their benefits. As these companies remain hugely profitable, their production issue is not linked to difficulty accessing capital. It is naive to assume things would have gone differently if the EU was paying more. It would just have meant more profits for them.

The heart of the issue is that contraty to the USA or China the EU is weak so companies don't hesitate trampling it. If a Chinese company did to China what AstraZeneca is doing to the EU, the CCP would take control of it and its CEO would never be seen again. Meanwhile, the USA has little qualm using its legal system to punish companies defying the state to much. Congressional inquiries are not fun.
For current price points, solar thermal power is just not economical.

> despite the relatively unfavorable terms for investors

This is a concern that I have around equity crowdfunding in general, and I hope this situation doesn't go poorly and ruin it for everyone.

The terms as described here are eerily reminiscent of the Toptal story, where at the time many defending Toptal saying "VCs should have known better". Does that same defense apply to a group of individual investors who were (apparently) limited to a maximum 1k check size?

There was a lot of hype around this investment, which convinced a ton of people to try to get in on it, but I'm legitimately worried that the masses don't understand the actual terms of the round
