The article by the BMJ is responding to the leak as if the information within it is believed to be correct.

Is the EMA suggesting that this isn't the case or are they just telling us that it was editorialised by whoever disseminated it?

Doctored is the word you'd use if the contents have been changed in order to deceive people. However this could be an attempt at damage control if they want people to dispute the veracity of the leak.

Edit: Since I'm questioning the EMA here I'll add that "Vaccines are Good" and that we should await expert opinion before making idle speculation.
Thanks so much, I will look into this! :)

Not most of them. But so what? Your goal is to retire early. Why do you need to start at insanely high pay for that? Make 120k for a while (plenty of money to save well) and make this a longer term goal rather than an immediate "fuck it, I failed so the entire industry must be full of idiots".
There's also the fact that a few days ago Nvidia released a signed driver that disabled the restrictions [1] _by accident_. But now that the signed driver is out, anyone can just revert to that at any time and mine whatever they want.

Fantastic failure to a flawed endeavour.

I talked to a company running a pan-EU FBA business. And they don't have any ustoms issues with Brexit. The way they solved it was to consolidate shipments to fixed dates /days, instead of peacemeal as was done before. And, more importantly, they work with a specialized customs agent and wait for customs clearance before sending the shipment.

That increases inventory in transit and lead times, but being stuck at the border for an unpredictable amount of time does that as well. Not to mention the costs for having the trucks waiting there, usually somewhere between 150 and 250/300 Euros per day. I mean, it's not that companies didn't know what happens and prepare upfront.
I'm pretty sure you'd find an audience, even for an accounting competition reality show. Too bad Netflix hasn't yet produced one
Long term use of steroids is known to cause all kinds of nasty side effects. Prednisone I've actually found rather useful for bootstrapping myself out of depression but it tends to induce mania. Going for longer than a few days results in a huge high followed by a massive crash.

The above sounds like nuclear option amounts of asthma meds and it's reasonable to expect potential long term effects.

That being said, inhaled steroids are considered much, much safer than oral ones, due to much smaller doses and targeted effects.

This is amazing, I think this is why cellular automata are so interesting - there are so many possibility (and conway's game of life is just a beginning!). Feel free to pull request into ./sample/, alternatively I can add this in a commit later.

> The suggestion we sell to other countries to make more money is not right because we make no profit everywhere.That's the approach we took and we agreed on that. That’s the agreement we have with Oxford University. It's actually even written in a contract we have with Oxford University: that we will be at no profit. We have slightly different prices from one geographic to the other because the cost of goods may be different. We have a supply chain in Brazil, we have another one in Latin America, another one in South Asia. We have one in Japan. Of course, you know, local costs are different. So you've got slight variations, but more or less, it's about three to four dollars, more or less everywhere.

This was an interview with the AZ CEO when the EU delays first kicked off: https://www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2021/01/26/news/interview_...

The core difference for the EU contract was that the EU wouldn't accept any/as-much liability for any harm caused by the vaccine (compared with UK/USA). Not sure the source of this claim.
If I buy a bar of gold it may go up or down in value. Until I cash out, that value is 'locked up'. Do not confuse income with wealth. They are locked at the hip and are very closely related but are not the same thing. That is where most of 'the rich' keep their 'money'. They do not keep most of it in large bank accounts. Take the top 2 guys right now. Most of their 'wealth' is in stocks for 2 companies that have had their valuation go extremely high. Oh they are rich. But if they cashed out they lose control of their companies. You can clearly see what is more important to them. Even the warren buffet example from above is someone who keeps his money in a company that buys other companies and makes them profitable. Lives extremely modestly and plays with coupons. His wealth is locked up in companies that makes jobs. You probably could tax them another 10-20% more and not really move the needle on what they pay. Because they manage their wealth not their income.
I have this sort of "mesh" of knowledge now. Stuff from 30 years ago is still valuable now. Moving from bare metal to chroots to zones to VMs to cloud just expands that mesh. What was once physical is now virtual.

Being virtual, it has plasticity. But the underlying evolution is still there, so there is sort of a distilled fundamental nature to compute, network, storage.

Hard to explain, but the mesh is also sedimentary. Nodes in the mesh have these layers of history now that provides more axiomatic understanding.

If you know zones, you grok VMs, you understand EC2, then pods then containers. Different names for very related concepts of "compute".

All a long way of saying that when I learn now, it's more about adding to that mesh than expanding separated islands.

How Magic Manifestation Can Change Your Life?
What is Magic Manifestation?

Magic Manifestation is a program created by Alexander Wilson, that brings more than some thoughts and advice to those in need. He is a wise creator that helps you to rediscover yourself and understand better what’s happening around you.

He teaches people how to set a direction for their life and chase it. So many people tried his method and they said they are now a better version of them, because of Alexander. The way he provides these changes for people it’s through his 7 years expertise in psychology and law of attraction.

When do you need Magic Manifestation?

If you find yourself in situations that you can’t get away from, you are trapped in your darkest minds or you simply need to set a better direction for you, you should consider Magic Manifestation.

This creation of Alexander helps you to attract wealth, success and good luck into your life. Manifestation Magic is the best than most of any other law of attraction book/course out there. There is so much proof that it works, mostly if so many people tried this.

How manifestation works? Can you really get anything you desire?

Indeed, you can get everything you wish and manifestation is a way that maybe you heard about it so many times. Well, if you set your goals and get specific about it, write them down on paper and start to make small steps to it, I think it will definitely work.

You should also enjoy the process, because it’s very important to appreciate what you have at this moment. Great affirmation comes with a clear mind, so listening to Alexander’s voice, it will prepare your mind for the process that will follow.
So even if you are aware of what you desire right now or you want to figure it out, Magic Manifestation is a great challenge for you and I recommend you to at least try it. I know people that believe in the law of attraction and their decisions are based on that.

My original plan was to do a similar S3 idea, but I forgot about it’s charge per 1000 gets and puts and had a 700 dollar bill I had to bargain with them to waive! Does azures model not have that expense?
You can never test "100%", especially if you don't define what it means. But you've set it up to be an unsatisfiable expectation anyway, saying that "100%" means "testing in the wild". Which means releasing it. So you provide a definition that is always true: you can't adequately test a product before release, because you can only test it adequately after the release.

That's not that much different from the self deceiving mind trick those say who claim this is a "human experiment". Which is, of course it is! I mean the process for testing and certifying a medication has to include a phase where we experiment on humans.

And the whole process is designed with this in mind: increasing number of participants during phase 1-2-3 trials and then it gets released, without being tested "100%", if you will, and it enters phase 4, that is basically tracking it while being "out in the wild". Though you could argue that phase 3 is just as much out in the wild.

I think what you can see from how these vaccines are being tested and released is that these are the most rigorously tested products out there.
last generation before self-driving trucks with robotic delivery arms?

true, parcels and overstuffed mailboxes would challenge robots, but the difference in cost would be so extreme, it would still be a net win... heck, you might be able to deliver mail more frequently, then send electronic notifications to users that their mailbox is full !
Look, I don't know anything about this medication. But the grandparent responded to a pure anecdote, including the claim that it is "a poison". It seems an entirely appropriate response to caution against false taxonicity in this context. I don't see why the thread is so full of downvoting and accusations.

If someone wants to claim an approved medication is especially poisonous, the onus should be on them to provide evidence. Note that the great-great-grandparents 3 links are all individual case studies. One of them summarizes the situation: "overall, the frequency and severity of adverse events are rather low".
Yeah, you're probably right. I forget that supply-chain logistics is a bit different to ordering on Amazon. It only really matters what it says in the contract and if it doesn't say anything about when the EU gets its vaccines, then surely it is up to AZ when they deliver?
At this point we're drowning in people who consume more than they produce, anybody who gets to break-even I'd consider doing a moral good.
I'm all for science, but as one of the other comments points out, you can't ignore other factors at play and just exclude the humans from the equation. It's not like science is brought upon us from the heavens above. If some product cost billions in R&D and still does not work quite as planned, you may rest assured that the owners will go to all lengths to cover the losses and persuade buyers to ignore the facts as long as possible. This is simple logic, isn't it?
I don’t think you’ve identified any criticisms here that negate the main points he’s making.

I used buildroot since 2011 and yocto since 2019. Both have their strengths, and their weaknesses, but I actually prefer yocto now since it is more predictable in what it builds.

Buildroot is faster to launch and run, but I'm infinitely more confident that everything will build again after cleaning with Yocto than I am with buildroot because Yocto creates a sysroot for each recipe which contains only the specified dependencies, unlike buildroot which contains whatever has been installed into "target" by that point in the build process. This is even more troublesome when using multiple cores to build since the state of "target" is changing rapidly based on how quickly different packages are able to be built and installed.

Yocto is slow and bitbake can be a pain until you get it, but it's really an amazing thing once you understand it and can leverage what it has to offer. Layers are wonderful if you need to support multiple devices which share a common base. By using a shared state cache, I can have other developers building complete images in minutes rather than hours.

I am happy that I took the time to learn how to use Yocto, even after having a good experience with buildroot.
The question is why we allow information about a patented innovation to be kept secret, when the very point of a patent is that the inventor gets exclusivity in return for disclosure.
I believe the language revolving around AI has been construed by those who are not knowledgable technically but spout nonsense to appear knowledgable to attract clicks and sell books.

It doesn't help when laypersons see anatomical terms like neural network and get the image of a computer replicating a human neuron. In fact its merely a fancy for loop. The same results can be achieved with a few nested for loops though not as efficient).

AI at the moment is a term flung around too much. There are some faux AI tools out there to cash in on the trend. Others can be simple implementations of predictive analysis with AI label slapped on the side for grandeur.

Like another poster said, its about managing expectations.
So WhatsApp started with $1/annual plan. Why telegram can't do the same? I guess lots of people would pay even $5 per year. What I'm missing?

> Would a comet contain enough [Iridium]? It depends on what the comet was made of. There aren’t a lot of pieces of comets to test, but the samples returned from Comet Wild-2, courtesy of NASA’s Stardust mission, found that they were very similar to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, which are known to contain iridium (although somewhat less than ordinary chondrites). Presumably the iridium level of a cometary object wouldn’t be that far off, but it remains to be seen.

So, the theory proposed doesn't account for existing observations? Keen to see what kind of comet would be needed, theoretically, to create the K-Pg Boundary.

That said, I find the timing of the Deccan Traps and the (alleged) Shiva Crater to be reasonably compelling for the "something broke up and hit the Earth bad"
We went all-in on vertical scaling with our product. We went so far we decided on SQLite because we were never going to plan to have a separate database server (or any separate host for that matter). 6 years later that assumption has still held very strong and yielded incredible benefits.

The slowest production environment we run in today is still barely touched by our application during the heaviest parts of the day. We use libraries and tools capable of pushing millions of requests per second, but we typically only demand tens to hundreds throughout the day.

Admitting your scale fits on a single host means you can leverage benefits that virtually no one else is even paying attention to anymore. These benefits can put entire sectors of our industry out of business if more developers were to focus on them.
I think it's more of a questions of what choice do publishers have now?

And what about all the bundling? Try getting YouTube off your phone. How much change/innovation and choice do you have as a consumer? What happens if you get kicked off? Did you deserve it was there a real review. How many times has someone come out in public and complained and then reinstated. What about all the people that might have ben banned and shouldn't have. I just don't get if people are so anti socialism why is having a private company as a monopoly so palatable. To me either why no alternative in the matter.

Many Scandinavian countries require cars to switch over from summer to winter tires and the other way around in spring and in autumn. Some even allow tires with spikes, which damage the roads, but only in winter. Spikes allow you to drive on very icy roads when it is too cold for salt to work. Driving from Sweden into Denmark, they'd actually check your tires at the border in the winter sometimes because they do not want people damaging their roads with their spikes.

Kind of sensible to require cars have proper tires; also from an insurance point of view.
Inspired by Vietnamese street food classics, Banh Wagon was started in 2019 by Jamie Brooks. Catering at festivals, music events, markets as well as private catering, Banh Wagon serves up the traditional bánh mì sandwich, with a slight twist.

Jamie’s take on the Vietnamese classic substitutes the usual chả lụa (pork sausage) with a choice of pan roasted pork, slow cooked chicken and a vegan-friendly option of 5 spiced tofu.
I disagree that the alcohol comparison is not useful. I think many people in the US take lots of their social world as axiomatic and correct and natural. Two such "axioms" are the legality of alcohol and the illegality of "other drugs." The comparison with alcohol helps those who have not considered drug laws in good faith break out of their stupor and realize the "axioms" are created socially. The hope is that they will realize that the supposedly natural distinction between alcohol and other drugs is illusory.
Well, sometimes you get really crazy types, like large implicit unions where many of the variants are dictionaries with specific structures or a class that has an attribute created dynamically. Or when some API says it wants a “file-like object”, does it mean “object with read() method”? Or read() + close()? What about seek()? Etc. But the spirit of my comment was about making sure that the types align—that I’m correctly passing the right kind of data into some function for every function. It’s easy to make type errors, and I know it’s not just me because type errors of various kinds were the number one kind of error in our production logs at our Python shop even though we had high unit test coverage.
I don't think that spending really goes to the post office tho.
I use NoScript and block scripts by default. The main reason is security - reducing browsers vulnerability surface and tracking/fingerprinting methods. As an added bonus it reduces significantly all kinds of annoyances like ads and popups. Also the pages load much faster and are lighter for cpu.

However, it is sad how few pages work without javascript these days. Nevertheless, I very rarely enable it for any site. Instead, if there is a page I really want to use, I "fix" it using a userscript. Sometimes it's as simple as modifying the CSS to reveal the hidden content. Sometimes it involves parsing some inline json from the document, doing XHR to get the content and building the html from scratch to show it. I suspect I'm in the minority even amongst the 0.2%.

The problem is that it's starting to look more and more like a production problem and a bad batch, and you shouldn't be vaccinated with a product that probably should have failed QA.

It's not bureaucratic ass-covering, it's literally the protocol that's in place and has worked to keep populations safe.

>250 miles of driving gives you a one in a million chance of death. This vaccine is safer than that.

Again you're missing the point. The correct analogy would be: driving on a car that randomly combusts, or has faulty breaks, due to bad QA. And this actually happens/happened, that's why some cars are pulled from the market to be fixed when such things happen. Doesn't matter if it has happened on 1 or 2 cars, it shouldn't happen. Want another analogy?

Want another example? The Boing 737 Max.

You should only be allowed to use products that are working as expected, not faulty products. Specially not medicines and vaccines, that could blow up the trust on regulators and the vaccines.
It really depends. Handling streaming video service that does any kind of reprocessing of the data would probably be better off with horizontal scaling.
I've had similar experiences. Sometimes we'll have a dataset with tens of thousands records and it will give rise to the belief that it's a problem that requires a highly scalable solution because "tens of thousands" is more than a human can hold in their head. In reality, if the records are just a few columns of data, the whole set can be serialized to a single file and consumed in one gulp into a single object in memory on commodity hardware no sweat. Then process it with a for loop. Very few enterprises actually have big big data.
I am trying to load and serve the Microsoft academic graph to produce author profile pages for all academic authors! Microsoft and google already do this but IMO they leave a lot to be desired.

But this means there are a hundred million entities, publishing 3x number of papers and a bunch of metadata associated. On redshift I can get all of this loaded in minutes and takes like 100G but Postgres loads are pathetic comparatively.

And I have no intention of spending more than 30 bucks a month! So hard problem for sure! Suggestions welcome!
I went from Ontario where salt is used to Alberta where grit (gravel) is used and I'd say grit is better. The downside is more windshield repairs, the upside is car underbodies last a lot longer and you don't have the slippery time after salt is first spread.
