It's worth pointing out that if the population vaccinated with AZ had been unvaccinated instead, then given the base frequency of Covid cases and how often severe clotting shows up in Covid cases we should have expected several hundred cases of severe clotting in the same population. Which isn't to say this isn't a potential problem. The very fact that Covid causes clotting problems lends credence to the idea that the vaccine against it could do the same thing through an auto-immune pathway. But we're in the middle of a pandemic, this problem happens in at most a tiny number of people, and I'd take this vaccine in a heartbeat.

You, the people, vote for representatives who make the laws that Google has to adhere to. If you disagree with the current laws that allow Google to do what it does, then vote for other representatives.

At least that is how it works in my country, and from what I know, how it works in the US too.

Is that not "people allowing companies what they can do"?
Self censorship is never healthy [1]. A default, widely accepted value for the main branch of git repo had immense value from a usability perspective. Creating a confusing system and calling it beneficial because it becomes a reminder about bias as it interrupts your workflow? That's some post modern intersectional bullshit right there.

I really don't care about the name change in this case, the OP was mistaken, master record also has roots in a master slave[tape] relationship. So please, change it, just do it upstream and leave me the fuck out of your culture war.

How much does the "proprietary blobs" matter, for something like a router? It sort of makes sense a cellphone where there's basically a parallel operating system running in the baseband, but that doesn't really apply for a router. The biggest threat is probably out of date services, but AFAIK most of those (eg. dnsmasq) are open source and are kept up to date.
But, this argument rationales mob rule over reason. The name change is defensible to avoid "various forms of backlash from various people".

"Some of them will complain" -- a majority? Then yes, it makes sense to listen and adapt. Or, a loud minority who threatens? I don't believe that the change was made due to any overwhelming user feedback.
My experience with Sufi and secular-buddhist (Headspace) meditation teachings is that the psychological breakdown is expected. Meditation is supposed to tear you down, and then build you back up again. However, some people get "stuck" in teardown phases (the Sufi term is "intoxication" or "annihilation") and then take a long time to recover, or never recover at all. However the "annihilated" phase is merely a stage on the journey, not the end. The perfect master returns to the world a normal person on the outside, but utterly transformed on the inside.

I feel like spring got leapfrogged by plain javaee a bit; I can imagine that in early '00s Spring was big improvement over Java EE 1
.4 or whatever but modern Java EE to at least some degree caught up, JEE 8 and 9 being relatively pleasant to work with, along with Microprofile, while Spring feels more stuck in the 00s feel.

Your point is anecdotal. I actually ran the analysis and found that if you are long term investor - stocks beat bonds hands down. See it here: https://www.investingrus.com/blog/safest-bet/

I think it's a bit like the coastline paradox:

Most maps fairly accurately measure the coastline of a place. Their granularity of topographical measurement is good enough.

In other words, it's not if you understand a concept but how deeply. Also, it's hard to sit down and list all the complexities of concepts. You could be understanding a lot more complexity than you realize.

One isn't going to get to CTO in only hundreds of hours, but one can get to "getting paid" in that amount of time, and then, if you're smart and keep prioritize learning, get to CTO while getting paid. I started web dev at 30 (though had coded in high school), and was a startup CTO at 44, now an architecture consultant, and the best advice I had in the beginning from a good mentor was to structure everything relentlessly so that I was spending 20-25% of my time learning, even if it meant less money per paycheque. I can't stress enough how important and effective this is. If you're willing to make 75% less at the beginning to keep working that lever, in 10 years you will be a hot property and commanding very good compensation.

> This is a terrible scam, but I am astonished by the frivolity with which people would move life-changing amounts of money into something with absolutely no due diligence.

It's Bitcoin though. The volatility and returns in this bubble have been enormous, so its quite possible for "life-changing amounts of money" to not feel like that, because it was cheap and easy to get.

I can confirm this. I ran a miner early on in a completely unserious way, and only recently bothered to dig up the wallet from an old hard drive to sell it. Even though it was worth thousands of dollars, I felt about that Bitcoin like a feel about an old hard drive: not worthless, but not particularly valuable, either.

Also, the cryptolottery has handsomely rewarded many people for doing absolutely no due diligence. I mean, if you were someone who bought Bitcoin at the beginning, you probably did it on Mt. Gox, which looked like a garbage fire to anyone who did a little due diligence (and actually turned out to be one).

Nothing worth fighting for comes easy. Women's rights, racial rights, gay rights... It all had to be forced to happen, because it's much easier to maintain an unfair status quo than it is to convince millions of people that perhaps their world view is wrong and holding others back.

Ahh, reading the Makefile to find switches you need or don't; documentation, ain't nobody got time for README, yah I'll take the default switches; also moving where the binary will be installed, sometimes an obscure library will not be in the path, have to find it, oops, wrong version, upgrade lib, oops, breaks backward dependency of something else, revert, put new lib in different place, mod path, make clean ...

Network booting, that too. I mean, is network booting 10x local boot? I can't say, but you're not going to make a data center filled with tens of thousands of nodes if you can't network boot.
Well I think if he made that statement, it's probably fair regardless of what's in his book.
This is obvious money laundering. I can understand suckers paying $5 for a worthless meme NFT, but no one would pay $80K unless they can verify the original creator minted a NFT for a historically significant thing. Some rando minting a NFT for a meme they didn't invent is obviously worthless to anyone with that kind of money.
We are generally so habituated to services that plunder our contact lists and auto-populate our social graph that we end up all dazed and confused when checking out privacy-respecting social networks. Like … where are my friends at?

In the fediverse, you can choose your community, you have choices. Most servers (instances) gather around a topic, common interest or subculture and have their own rules and etiquette. An easy place to get started is https://joinmastodon.org/communities. If you discover people who "live" on other instances, you can still follow them.

It might take more time to build your social graph in the fediverse than on the centralized and commercial services, but the satisfaction of having a feed that you put together yourself, without being influenced by nagging recommendation algorithms is worth it – at least to me!

EDIT: To answer your question more directly, I'll add some of the people and projects that I find interesting and follow (and that you probably won't find on other social networks). YMMV:

I'll be completely blunt: I hate self promotion, and I expect this to not make a single cent and have just lost me the gas fee to create the contract.

That said I think this is an interesting thing. My father dies 12 days before my 13th birthday, we just observed that anniversary last week. This is the only known recording of his voice, and I would all but kill for just a few minutes of him talking, but this is what I have.

Now he exists as this tiny sliver of the ethereum blockchain, as long as it lasts he has another sliver of perceived immortality. The 100 dollars and change I spent creating the NFT is my birthday present to myself this year, a little bit of novelty that I'll be able to write about in my letter to him next year (link to this year's can be found in the blog post).

If someone can get international news for selling a jpg file for tens of millions of dollars, then maybe, just maybe, I can make a few more people know that my father existed and give his memory a little bit longer to exist in the collective consciousness.
I have seen FreeBSD and other non-mainstream OS (as in not: windows, macos, linux variants) keep going but I have never seen a "reason" to use those except for the bragging rights. Can the developpers of these OS please enlighten me why I or anyone should use them?

Sure! We build tooling that lets developers encrypt data before it hits their infrastructure (Relay) and which lets them process that encrypted data at a later date (Cages).

We manage keys, but we don't store data.

All crypto operations and encrypted data processing happens inside TEEs (AWS Nitro Enclaves, specifically [0]). Using Relay, you can pass data on to trusted third parties over TLS. With Cages, you can deploy custom code inside a TEE which can process data in whichever way you need.

For developers who don't want plaintext data on our infrastructure, we also provide SDKs which let them encrypt data using our PKI scheme — on their own infrastructure.

While the top comment was worded in not the best way, I think they meant to say it's not really surprising that SARS-CoV-2 is behaving like other corona viruses.

It seems intuitive to me that this whole thing will not magically end with a single vaccine. There will likely be enough variations that we will be dealing with future strains like we deal with influenza.
Since we are talking about branches, wouldn't a "root" branch makes more sense?
"just a factor of 20" is a huge number. At this point, it's not even clear if the vaccines stop you becoming infected in the first place, or just reduces your symptoms. In that case, a vaccinated person is no better for transmission than an unvaccinated, "asymptomatic carrier".
Not mutually exclusive. Inflation could tick up to 5-6% per annum, forcing the Fed to get back to positive real rates, and in the process bring about an economic crash. I actually think that's the most likely sequence of events.
I keep seeing this IC term here but never saw it before, is that “Independent Consultant”?
Write-only in this context means that the cost of maintaining something vastly exceeds the cost of rewriting that something from scratch.

I don't know Spring and Spring Boot well enough to pass judgement, but this situation generally arises in software when you have a language or framework that's reasonably expressive, where the language has a lot of sigils or keywords and it has "shortcuts" that you have to grok before you can really understand codebases that use those shortcuts (like annotations or heavy/excessive use of design patterns). It leads to software solutions that are only well understood by the original authors due to their specific knowledge and problem solving approach and anyone who comes along later must have the exact same overlap of knowledge and skills otherwise they'll find it easier to start fresh. This includes the original authors if the time lapse has been long enough.

This often then leads to the next phase of miserable software jobs, the second-system effect.
I think coding proficiency is obviously on a pretty large spectrum, so I think there is probably something of a bell curve on where people can reasonably get to. Certainly most everyone could get to a point of working with the basics of a given language, but past that coding really becomes problem solving, whether it is a bug or a business requirement...and that's when a person's willingness to stick with a problem till the end comes into play.

Also, congrats on your journey and sticking with it :)
Why own bonds? Let's say you are into derivatives trading and you need to keep a pile of cash lying around as collateral. Bonds are better than cash as long as the nominal yields are positive, so you buy bonds (and hopefully not find yourself needing to sell them) which give you almost as much collateral.

Or maybe you are into high-yield bonds, which if traded correctly can have better returns than stocks. Not that I am personally interested in playing that game...

> Deplatforming isn't speech tho.

Criticizing speech is speech.

Criticizing speech and advocating, on the basis of that criticism, that people should choose not to relay the criticized speech is speech.

Choosing what speech to relay or not is speech (except when it is “press”, but those are effectively aspects of the same thing called out separately to prevent an artificial distinction from being used to regulate speech.)

Deplatforming is speech, from advocacy to execution.
Being able to explain it in 5 minutes doesn't necessarily mean it's not complex. It really depends on how elementary the explanation is. In other words, how complex are the terms themselves in which you explained it?

For instance, you might say that the Fourier Transform is just a decomposition of a function of time into complex exponentials representing frequencies. But how does a complex exponential represent frequencies? Can you explain Euler's formula?

I usually pick someone I know well and consider what it would take to make them understand, given what I expect them to know already. I find this really helpful in testing my own understanding, but it's a good way of testing how complex an idea really is, relative to the average person's knowledge. (Incidentally I'd rank Fourier stuffs as pretty complicated, all things considered).
I don't know why we have to sugarcoat it. Not only can anyone not be able to code, I'd go as far as saying that MOST people will never be able to code a production application no matter how much teaching/resources you throw their way.

paraphrasing Dave Aitel, think of ransomeware as just another form of DoS (internal instead of external).

There is an under-appreciated value in ransomware that goes beyond commercial threat actors seeking "only" financial profit, and I think we'll see more targeted campaigns where primary motivation isn't a financial one, but extorting favors or other actionable intel from the data.

If cryptocurrency exchanges don't exist in good public standing, the price of bitcoin will collapse. This is a risk that does not exist with precious metals.

The real problem with bitcoin is you cannot physically transfer it. I can sell you a USB drive with a wallet on it, but you shouldn't buy it because you can't know if I have a copy of that USB drive in my other pocket. The only way to transfer bitcoin for-real is to submit it to the network and to make sure it's confirmed.

My take is that the censorship-resistant qualities of bitcoin are highly overstated.

That's why one keeps 10 years of cash (or equivalent) as a cache to weather those downturns. I'd recommend 6 years, but something that you could draw from while markets recover. It seems as if the cadence of market downturns and recoveries is increasing.

But if they do it's the surest way to end up blamed for someone else's problems.
