Without vaccination, the chance of eventually catching the disease is just about 100%. Yes, any single person may try and hope to be protected by herd immunity. But there are serious doubts that can be achieved given some variants' higher virulence and expected levels of eventual vaccine uptake considering justifiable reasons.

Meanwhile, long-term harms from vaccination are entirely speculative. There isn't even a real theory as to any mechanism to cause any such effects: all components of the vaccines are well-known, except the COVID-specific parts which are a strict subset of the actual virus.
I do prefer mechanical feedback over software feedback.

This just sounds like VW Group have made a strategic decision to stop ICE development and they are letting each subsidiary announce it separately. Perhaps Porsche, Bugatti and Lamborghini will take longest to admit it?

> Long wait times in B'luru earlier this month.

In my tier-3 place it was surprisingly easy. My parents got a call asking them if they would like to get vaccinated, not even using the cowin app. The appointment was given after two days.

The first injection took an hour including the 30 min observation time.

I don’t think they will be locking. if i look in cowin for my pincode there are 500 slots free for vaccine tomorrow.
> Why should any instance be entitled to another instance's users' attention, against the will of the admin?

Because those users want to read and follow users on that other instance? The instance admin has no right to dictate what the users on that server shouldn't be allowed to read or follow.

Users should be in ultimate control of what they are allowed to read, not instance admins. Users should be able to opt in or out of filter feeds, whether published by their local admin or anyone else, at their own option.

This is a fundamental issue with federated networks, one that has come up with email and again with AP.
Yes. And after the boat is righted, fire every exec from IT Director upward through CEO.

> fast-tracked vaccines

It would be accurate to say that these vaccines have been developed in the optimal time, and vaccines are usually 'slow-tracked'. Nothing has been rushed here in the sense of cutting clinical corners. The development of these vaccines has gone through the same phases of testing that every other vaccine has.

Things that slow down all vaccine development: funding, finding volunteers for testing groups, committee approval for the development of vaccines, submission and resubmission of proposals to name but a few.

All of these barriers were removed by governments throwing cash at the various companies, and the companies and universities themselves removing barriers.

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

That said, I'm not sure how much much of ActivityPub you could make use of for a static site? You could definitely publish an Actor and create an Outbox listing your content. You could also have deploy triggers to notify followers when you publish...

But how does someone follow you? In order for that to work, there needs to be a server to accept a Follow activity and add them to the Followers collection to be notified on publication.
>Not seeing the upside

>the evidence of YouTube losing significant amounts of money.

I don't know the specifics, but I do know that hosting video is in the wheelhouse of many well endowed companies like Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. They all (presumably) have the capability to build a Youtube competitor over the last 15 years, but the fact that they have not indicates that it is not worth it.

Which leads me to think that this business model of Youtube's where anyone can upload anything they want at any time regardless of how garbage it is and it has to be able to be served to the whole world relatively immediately, is only viable with an enormous ad company (Google) backing it.

But as a stand alone service, it would never be a viable business. The proof is that a non Youtube has never existed before and it still doesn't exist. Nobody is stopping someone from putting up data centers everywhere and offering this service that Youtube does, and not even the companies that can afford it are bothering to touch it.

The Microsoft internet browser situation is not comparable, in my opinion.
I thought the cryptographic basis for BTC was supposed to not be susceptible to Shor’s algorithm, or indeed any known quantum speedup?
In my EU-centric worldview, the US system of at-will employment, and of two-week notices as the standard courtesy, is crazy.

Three months is the typical notice period for tech workers and other highly-skilled jobs. One month is the legal minimum in Sweden, and certainly several other countries. Of course it goes both ways, in fact it's even more difficult for the employer to get rid of an employee. An employee doesn't need a reason to resign, an employer needs a valid reason to fire an employee, in addition to observing the notice period.

To complete the picture, it's necessary to say that probation periods exist. Employees may be initially hired on probation (typical for fresh graduates), which has a shorter notice period, and either side may unilaterally decide not to continue past probation. That is, an employer unhappy with a probation employee doesn't need additional legal grounds to say "we're not proceeding with full employment after the probation period is over".

Some websites would whitelist referrers to prevent hotlinking resources from other websites (incurring potentially high bandwidth costs).

But overall I'm all for getting rid of it. It's a remnant of the early web that doesn't make a lot of sense these days, and creates more problems than it solves.

EDIT: Although I just realized that strict-origin-when-cross-origin (the new policy) would still let the hotlinking detection use case work, since you typically only need domain information for that. I initially thought that they would use same-origin or something like that. It'll teach me to comment before I read the linked story.

I think you and I must be reading that differently and I also think maybe you're forgetting the context of all this. The victims were as young as 11 years old and that was widely known (and surely obvious to the men involved); his comment therefore boils down to "is it REALLY statutory rape if she seems like she's OK with it?" and the answer is, of course, yes. Surely you can understand why people would see that as an endorsement of sexual assault, albeit perhaps coming from a place of absurd ignorance rather than malevolence?

I've been using a ZK-like thing since the mid-90s, so it's very much a "roll your own" solution. Over the past 12 months or so I've started to try to de-couple it from the specifics of my setup so I can share it, but it's proving difficult.

It's essentially a wiki, but it's how I use it that makes the difference. A true ZK requires a conversation. You take notes, but then you spend time inter-weaving them into the ZK. Most people use note-taking systems as, well, note-taking systems, and never return to make the connections between the notes. Hence they get lost.

Here are my thoughts about that "conversation":

There's the possibility that those employees are happily retired and don't care. Or they're just not available in many ways.

>By about T-3 seconds, all engines were up and operating at 100% of rated power level. Exactly when it happened is not clear, but on the right engine, the gold plated pin from LOX post 32 in row 13 came shooting out. [...] Now two scary things could have happened. First, the LOX post, which was pinned for a reason, could have failed allowing LOX to pour into the engine cavity where the hot hydrogen was introduced. [...] Failure of the LOX post was considered a CRIT 1 failure [...] How close we were to disaster has never been determined. [...] Second, the nozzle extension could have failed. [...] Someone had calculated that if 5 adjacent cooling tubes split or were otherwise ruptured, there would not be enough local area cooling and a burn through would occur, causing a cascading failure of the nozzle and ... a CRIT 1 failure. [...] The bullet shaped LOX post pin hit the side of the right engine nozzle extension about two thirds of the way to the end with great force. Just by sheer luck, three nozzle tubes were breached.

Yes, if both parties agree, you can leave at once, otherwise employer can sue you for damages or lost profits (if damages are small, they don't bother) and you don't have unemployment benefits.

The fact that "JavaScript won". You can't put that genie back in the bottle.

The FSF could have been at the forefront, providing support and useful code under the GPL and LGPL. Instead very little web code is under their licences, because their leader won't interact with the modern web.

Not an endorsement of sexual assault, but definitely an attempt to downplay the crime. According to https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/9/20798900/marvin-minsky-jef..., Minsky was 73-years-old at the time and the victim 17 and the assault occurred at Epstein's private island. Minsky must have known that, at the very least, she was pressured to have sex with him.
From what I remember reading about the spec, USB-C feels like an attempt to make things simpler for users (one plug for everything!) and manufacturers (here's all the things you can do, but they're all optional!) simultaneously, which of course just makes things more complicated for everyone.

The issue is I don't know how these average salaries are calculated. I can confidently say that I know no one at a Senior level working on less than 60kGBP a year, and I don't imagine the bulk of engineers are junior or mid level. I do know however that people who earned a lot once they moved to either CA or AU, they earned less - but were happy given the benefits in previous comment.

New data points are always welcome - I might have to read more on the topic as I am clearly missing some data in regards to AU (my peers told me otherwise, maybe they do something wrong).

I am also disappointed that Kindle and other eBook costs are not much lower than printed books. BTW, my wife and I were talking about how differently Amazon runs Audible and Kindle. While it is true that Amazon extracts $30/month from us for two Audible accounts, Audible gives away an amazing number of free Amazon Original branded audio books for members. These are often short books or experimental stuff, but often very good. We also get access to each other’s paid-for audio books.

Contrast this to Kindle where we can’t freely read each other’s book purchases. We try to use other platforms like Google Play Books that enable family sharing.

I have my own take on the publishing industry. I started by writing ten books for conventional publishers like Springer Verlag, McGraw Hill, etc. I ended up self publishing my own eBooks, for free or people can pay me. I earn much more money doing technical work than writing, and I enjoy maximizing interaction with people reading my books, so I think that I have reached a global maximum strategy for myself.

Yeah, obviously I don't believe that he though she did it because she liked him.

But there's a big spectrum of possibilities from "she freely accepted payment for it" to "she was kidnapped, tied up and shipped in a crate, then forced under threat of violence". Before we knew Epstein was a monster, her being a very highly-paid prostitute would've seemed like the more likely explanation.

We need a term for people in between "creep" and "monster" - judging by this specific example, Minsky was in that middle. Maybe he did know exactly what was happening in the background and that would make him a monster, but I don't think that information was available at the time.
> Which is also illegal.

Where? Even within the US, prostitution laws vary wildly.

> And if you're having sex with a teenager for money, she probably has some pretty major life issues going on.

Did Minsky know that they weren't adults? Do you have a source for that?

> So... sex trafficking. By definition.

Wrong. Not even by definition. If you disagree, show me a valid definition of sex trafficking that includes "flying to an island to have sex with voluntary prostitutes".
I guess?

Except that my desk has three USB cords, each with a color-coded label so that I can tell what each one is for. One is seemingly the only one that will charge my e-reader, but only does low speed data transmission so it never really gets used for anything but my e-reader. Another is power only and therefore useful for charging devices without my computer attempting to talk to them. And a third is a proper, modern (ish, I suppose), well-behaved USB 2.0 cable.
VW already has a huge range of ICEs in their portfolio which are shared among their subsidiaries, especially VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda. Even if they all stop ICE development now, they have probably 5+ years until their engines would be out of date, so it makes absolute sense to shift their development focus to electronic drivetrains and use the products you already have on hand.
There are tons of shady US sellers on Etsy looking to make a quick buck without any customer service. On there, I bought a poster that was pictured in a frame for $25 and all that came was a wrinkled piece of paper in a tube from a US seller who wouldn't refund a dime.

The honesty of Aliexpress sellers varies. A "blanket hoodie" I bought doesn't even go to my hips.

Many AE sellers, when confronted with insufficient or wrong items delivered, will offer coupons or discounts rather than replacements or refunds. You have to insist on what you want because interacting with Chinese businesses often requires assertiveness.

Last semester I finished a gradutate course as an external student in the statistics program of the best university in the country. I have a goal of getting into grad school this year, but I'm old-ish (30 yo in april). The fact that i was able to be one of the best grades (if not the best) really made me happy.

I struggle with the idea of going to grad school for a while now. My family gives me zero support and during the years where I was younger and could focus solely on getting, my parents had a massive divorce, which didn't help me at all.
I don't test very well, and the entrance exams tend to be tough. Even though I switched areas after those years (I wanted to ge into economics and now statistics) I feel a bit more confident in my math skills. With the added maturity of a few years, I think I can manage getting in without my parent's support.

I only have to not drop the study habbits. But it is hard with work from home and the depression vibes my country is in (Brazil, btw).
