I've had the exact some happen (It's rare, but here I am), including a transient ischemic stroke while having virtually no platelets.

There is no real understanding for the cause of immune thrombocytopenia in the first place, but the combination of low platelets and clotting happens in quite a few cases.

Platelets take on a lot of roles beyond clotting (for example they transport serotonin, which itself has been linked to clotting) and clotting itself is about more than just platelet counts (which would need a few pages to even start to explain).

Once the immune system targets platelets though, unexpected things tend to happen beyond just uncontrolled bleeding, none of which are particularly well understood due to the low number of cases. The cause of idiopathic thrombocytopenia is most commonly attributed to an immune response, although it can have several other causes.

What I can say is that thrombocytopenia following a viral infection is more common than it appears to be following this vaccine. I believe this would be a more fair comparison than to compare it against the general population.

The percentage of people who would have this same stroke when having COVID-19 would in all probability be much much higher.
I didn't read any such tone. He's quite fact oriented.

I use Kubernetes for work. We utilize GKE in google cloud. There have been a few times things have required some editing of our YAML files, such as when we had to change the first line of our yaml from:

apiVersion: apps/Betav1
kind: Deployment

to:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment

Because in K8s 1.16, they stopped the backwards compatibility for Beta on deployments. But that was quite some time they left it in for backwards compatibility, and it was a simple sed script to change it. We have never changed our Dockerfiles except to change the FROM line when we update a base image. They often introduce new features, but try to keep things as stable as possible for existing setups.

In our case, we store our YAML in git, and can deploy a new cluster with all our microservices in about 10 min (most of that is delays in the google global load-balancer setting up a TLS certificate for us, the machines are up and running after just a few minutes).

There can be a bit more scripting needed to do updates of the nodes to newer builds with no downtime, if your pods aren't totally stateless, but compared to what it used to be at an old job, with C apps running on Linux, behind load-balancers that had to be removed, upgraded, and added, a rolling update is like black magic.

Would Google themselves hire people with these certificates?

Or, do they just want others to hire these people?

I think that would be the metrics to measure the quality and success of these certificates.

First year analysts at a bank like GS make more like $100-150k, including bonuses. That's a lot for a fresh grad, but is a far cry from $300k.
At the moment this is right next to “ Norwegian experts say AstraZeneca vaccine is behind the deadly blood clots” on the front page. I think it’s up to each nation to decide for itself if a vaccine is going to work or not, but I pitty the ones they go first and suffer from overzealous cheerleading of a particular vaccines efficacy.

I've been wondering if you could compute the interference pattern and then compute the view from any specific angle - possibly on a GPU. A sort of 2d way to save a 3d model.

Also wondering how feasible it is to "reproject" a hologram from one plane to another - rendering multiple "objects" into one hologram/interference pattern.
I think it's normal.

I rarely have motivation to do stuff after work. I tend to just push myself to do stuff, which ends up sucking the fun out of it. I think it mostly stems from being discontent with my job - I see people with higher pay, interesting problems, respect, etc. I feel like I'm just treading water and have no career options, but am required to support my family. I figure I'll have a major cardiovascular event in the next decade and it won't be my problem anymore - persist until you don't exist.
It’s been my experience over the past 30 years that engineering managers focus on the engineering, i.e. tools, resources, training, skill sets, recruiting, etc. In other words, the “how.” Project and product managers focus on the “what,” i.e. the requirements, the results, the schedule, the budget, etc. Why are these titles and responsibilities often confused? I see this often in HN posts. Does anyone else see this confusion?
Orange safety glasses will work better than this, if you don't mind looking silly.
It doesn't matter what the names are, the point is you can have a plugin that changes one color to another based on their names and what you can see. The names are a much smaller search space than "all possible hex codes".
Ok, but it's a bit odd that you kept reacting with incredulity at people not knowing that fib was THE parallel example to know, and then it turns out it's a poor example because synchronous fib with memoization (which is the way many people learn it in any early CS class, and which wouldn't be possible async) is so much faster.

I think maybe if there hadn't been such a vibe of "what, you don't know X?!?" then it would have just been an interesting fact to mention that parallelization demos often use fib, because it's an easy example to grok (though a confusing one if you already understand the faster method).
> Because it is so infectious, it will go through an entire herd or farm within days and eventually cause mutations and jump back to humans. So it will never go away and we need to prepare for it.

This is also one of the main mechanisms for antibiotic resistance in bacteria that infect humans[1].

>> "Israel began vaccinating its citizens in December 2020 [...] Now the problem is that young people don’t want to get their shots,” Aran says, so local authorities are enticing them with things such as free pizza and beer.

Forget the pizza. I would pay good money for a vaccination but in my area (Canada) vaccination is still only open to the elderly. At work I am doing double shifts to cover for all the people who are "working from home". I haven't seen my parents or other extended family in over a year. It has been six months since I've eaten in a sit-down restaurant. I've had to cut my own hair since christmas. If the kids in Israel aren't accepting the vaccine then ship those does to me and I'll give them to people who actually want this all to end.
Do most people really think that? I kind of doubt it.
I support this. Hopefully the result will be that Apple gets broken up into smaller companies. For example separate company working on operating system, separate company working on hardware, separate company working on the application store. Then the operating system company would have to accept that users will run other app stores on their operating system and so on.
This monopoly clearly is using all loopholes possible to squeeze anyone. No normal company gets to amass such wealth. Then their tax affairs need to be carefully looked into and any gains made from accounting tricks should be confiscated. That's just for a start.
I'll vote for any party that will promise to do that.

Videos can use inter-frame information to help infer sub-pixel details.

This post about "Super Resolution" is interesting because it starts with RAW format (which contains information about camera sensor arrangements), hence, the machine-learned model should not only memorize artificial details (what hair should be look like, what a tree-leaf should be look like etc, and use that to "hallucinate" a higher-resolution details, I liked to call this "hallucination" for that reason), but also relationship between complex interference of different sensors in their corresponding arrangements.

You can read more about RAW format and why exposing RAW format for photography is exciting (on everyday's camera, i.e. your phone) from this post: https://blog.halide.cam/understanding-proraw-4eed556d4c54
My gut feeling is that it would take strong and probably obnoxious enforcement to get us to one 9, we probably can’t even get two 9s (as in 99%, since some people think that means 99.99%) due to the number of people medically ineligible. And all that’s after approving any vaccine for kids, which we haven’t done yet.
Evil by whose definition?

For every person that is labelled "evil" by the US, I'm sure there are thousands who would consider them "good". I would hazard to guess that there are more people who considered Osa Bin Laden "good" than consider you "good" and could make a case that you are "evil". Does that means that they have a right to kill you? Or does the US government only get the right to designate people Good or Evil?

- integrates rustc into the linux kernel build system

- sets up automated binding generation to allow accessing C Kernel APIs from Rust using bindgen

- Creates idiomatic rust wrappers around some of those bindings, which is meant to be used by device writers.

Incredibly biased because I work at a start-up in Atlanta, but especially in the FinTech space there is a strong community here.
Very much tracks with my experience.

At a previous job, I built a sophisticated anonymization system for our candidates. While I think it helped somewhat, it wasn't nearly as efficient as just looking for candidates in different places.

We also lost some brilliant candidates because, in my opinion, the lead engineers would change their criteria if they didn't personally identify with the candidate. They didn't think they were doing it, but they were.

If I had to do it over again I would probably not bother with the anonymization and focus on all problems at the top of the funnel.

Companies with a large proportion of people from allegedly elite universities have a much more difficult problem to solve. Their culture is always going to interpret openness to candidates from different backgrounds as a danger, and try to rebuild those walls.
They could also simply change to metric units: 28 inch = 71.12 cm ;-)

The company rented the employee for $5/hour and got $15/hour revenue as a result.

Gross value = $15/hour

Net value = $15/hour - $5/hour = $10/hour

This is an uncontroversial and standard use of "gross" and "net". Replace "employee" with anything else ("bitcoin mining rig") and you'll see what I mean.

You can define "net value" above to be the same as just plain "value", and that's fine, I believe we're talking about the same thing there.

"because of a radical power imbalance"

No, it's just supply and demand, it has little to do with power.

Table salt is cheap because there's an oversupply of table salt. The same with unskilled labor.

House cleaners are cheap. I'd be happy to pay them $100/hour (that's the amount of subjective value it brings me) but I only need to pay them $20/hour - and that's because of an oversupply of house cleaners. I, as an individual, have no power here. There's no power structure I am exploiting to suppress the wages of house cleaners, in fact the market is very decentralized. Power is not a significant causal factor.

"Most of China is still poor."

Right, but they are much less poor and getting better every day because people ignored the exploitation narrative and went ahead and hired all those people on sub-$5/hour. Hopefully they keep hiring people on sub-$5/hour and continue the great work of lifting even more people out of poverty.
I don't want to necessarily attribute it to "epidemiologists" but there has been a pretty clear line from policymakers since about three weeks into the lockdowns (which was as long as we were initially told they would need to last to "flatten the curve") that we needed to stay locked down, keep wearing masks and distancing etc. until vaccines could be given to enough people to effectively end Covid transmission. There's a whole movement of prominent policy & medical leading lights that you can find with the #ZeroCovid hashtag on Twitter pushing this line.
Ugh and it's not usually their fault. Too many orgs are promoting this by making manager pay higher. In a sense higher pay is the career goal. Why stay in coding when you can get a 30k bump for coding plus whipping people?

Azure Container instances kinda do this, but you have to orchestrate scaling yourself

Azure App Services also fill this niche, but only works for web-based services. If you have a job queue and a worker reading jobs off the queue but otherwise not exposing a web endpoint, it doesn't seem to work quite as well and my (limited) attempts at faking an endpoint haven't appeared to pan out :d
I moved over to opnsense yesterday. Just built my config in a vm. Exported. Installed the firewall and imported and setup the interfaces.

It should do all of that and seems to have a few nice features to boot. As well as a much steadier release cycle. And a security audit feature built in to tell you if the updates available will patch vulns. Which I found neat

Example, the version i built is on 21.1: https://imgur.com/a/2X2UBJQ

Allow me to be more clear on my original response. When I used the word "influence" I should have instead stated "manipulate." I believe honesty and integrity is what people care about in a score or rating system.

So, there is no direct way for a member to "manipulate" the TRU Score:

- Your activities on the site contribute to your TRU Score

- The community reaction to your activities will contribute to your TRU Score

- If a member invests the time to develop their profile and is active on the site, those activties [if viewed positively by the community] will contribute to an increased value for the TRU Score

I believe this is a fair, appropriate and transparent way to derive a score. My belief is that our members will not only rely on the TRU Score in making decisions. Instead, they will also review other parts of the member profile. In the same way you might look at a Yelp or Amazon review.

Guessing that you do not make decisions based solely on the star ratings when buying a product or choosing a service. But that you might also read some of the reviews and look at images of the product/service. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts.

Data Density is the biggest single driving need for storage when you get towards datacentre / cloud environments. You want as many TB per rack as you can possibly get, because your dominant cost over time is not the initial upfront capital + depreciation, it's the per-rack running costs.

S3, BackBlaze etc. all focus on cramming as many hard disks in to a single machine as they can do, without running in to other bottlenecks on the machine level (CPU, memory, NIC bandwidth, controller etc).

You very much want to get out of the RAID business in those environments too. Backblaze mention their use of Reed-Solomon which is fairly common on large scale storage, and moves you much closer to resiliency on an individual object basis, rather than thinking in terms of the entire drive.
Just FYI, there are several CLI tools that more closely resemble a Linux package manager that you can use. Scoop and chocolatey come to mind (I'm a scoop user myself). I think NuGet is supposed to be a CLI software repo tool by Microsoft, but I'm only tangentially aware of it so I might have that wrong.

I mostly dislike the Microsoft Store because it requires an account, even for free downloads. I'm a little loathe to hand Microsoft control over a higher layer of my stack, for fear that they do some kind of "you can't control when you patch" thing like they did with Windows. I've also got a little bit of leftover disdain because it used to basically only have Metro apps, which were awful. That's not a good reason, but I won't lie and say it doesn't exist.

This is definitely possible and is the basis for some computational holography.

And a holographic interference pattern is definitely a way to store a 3D image in a 2D plane, and I think a part of what won the Nobel prize in physics when holography was invented.
Yes.

I've used many languages, and I don't have much problem with any quirks or major differences (Haskell, JavaScript, ...). The only language I've bounced off of is Prolog, and I'm planning another attempt.

But I've done a lot of low level programming, and 0-based arrays are a no-brainer to deal with. Switching to 1-based arrays throws out all of my intuitions and makes me have to recalculate everything, which is error-prone.
> Or: make vaccinations mandatory if you want to protect those who cannot get a shot for health reasons.

To put this one in perspective, we already make vaccinations mandatory for public school attendance, and colleges go one step further and require vaccinations for attendance, too.
Nothing recently. I've been sort of forced to read up on some statutes and case law due to a false charge against my wife (the trooper even admitted he knew that he didn't have probable cause for the charge, but the system doesn't care).

Personal identity philosophy is full of examples like this: swapping brains, swapping half brains, swapping cells one at a time. It’s an interesting thought exercise.

I don’t have a complete answer, but a few thoughts:

First, there’s no reason to believe we’ll ever be able to replicate a neuron with non-meat technology. Nanomachines may be able to do this. Are they going to age and die as well, like real neurons?

Second, replacing one neuron at a time looks hard as well. Best case is perhaps a self-replicating nanomachine that chugs through the brain, effectively eating neurons and building new ones. This process is going to change the brain, since it has to be carried out in constant time. How will it change the brain? Who knows?

Third, it’s not just neurons. You’d need to replicate every cell in, and on, a human body. Including, again, the different species of fungus that live exclusively in our toenails.

Fourth, how will this new 100%-technical human interact with its environment? Current thinking is that some auto-immune diseases are triggered by a insufficient challenge to young immune systems, effectively by an environment that’s too clean. Should we emulate this as well?

So pretty quickly I think it’s turns out that we’re not emulating humans, we’re creating new things that are somewhat human and somewhat digital. How will this entity act over the long term?

Ian McDonald wrote, “there are infinite ways of being human.” Perhaps we need to expand our definitions.
Well, the pox, diphteria and polio are gone or almost gone due to vaccinations, at one point or the other we had herd immunity with those. Its just that some small pockets of society refused to vaccinate and played incubators, so the rest of us wouldn't miss all the "fun"...

Quite the same for all the other diseases you enumerated, just that we never managed to get herd immunity due to antivaxxers ruining it.
And also the subject of the ideas like the holographic universe.
It's relatively easy with Docker to just point your local docker tooling at a remote daemon.

That way during the build process you're only transferring the cwd around your Dockerfile (the build state) to the daemon, and it takes it from there.

Versus this that would be doing a lot of file i/o during the build process all back across the wire.
Seems like a different situation - the facial recognition algo was wrong. Not the same as an AI resolving a face that resembles someone and then prosecuting that person on the basis of the image.
The German institute for vaccines (Paul-Ehrlich-Institute), responsible for the German temporary suspension, has an excellent FAQ on the topic (also posted by user Dragonfly) [1]:

* Germany has seen 7 events (3 deaths) per 1.6M doses, age 20-50, 6 female

* Caused by severe cerebral venous thrombosis with platelet deficiency

* Analysis showed heightened levels relative to background

* Much more severe than side effect of contraceptive pills, and yet unknown

In terms of frequency of events Germany seems to be in between UK/US and Norway.

They say "MIT Media Lab" and for me it just triggers thoughts of Epstein and Aaron Schwartz.
