There's a significant difference between being reluctant to take a brand new, experimental medicine that exhibits high risk factors and low benefits, versus being opposed to vaccines per se.

Absolutely not opposed to the latter, vaccines are and have been of tremendously huge benefit to humanity.
I think lots of houses in Europe have lead in the tap water though... Because they are old and changing the pipes in the building costs a lot.
I took a measurement in a downtown Budapest flat we rented and it came back 10x the limit. The water had no odor, discolor or taste.
I strongly suspect we will soon enough find out that Waymo hit a wall in self-driving capability possible with ML methods and got rid of its in-car safety drivers only by moving the actual humans to a central facility where they monitor and assist the vehicles remotely. And that plus the extreme maintenance required to maintain the cars’ sensors is going to keep Waymo and any other such company from being able to roll out an economically viable taxi service at any meaningful scale.
I am so sorry your family went through this for so long. Watching somebody you love slowly starve to death is unimaginably awful. But I have gone through it. To say "hang in there" isn't enough. Thank you for posting your experience.
To be fair, you have to adjust for the relevance of top 100. In the past the top 100 was the only thing most people were exposed to because that's all the radio played. Today Spotify and Youtube and their recommendation algorithms make the top 100 almost completely irrelevant.
Very interesting concept, but I'd recommend people check out GRDB[1] if you're in search of a mature persistence layer for your iOS apps. It's a modern SQLite wrapper with a lot of conveniences for application development like value types, Codable mapping, Combine observables, etc.

I've deployed it in production on a few apps so far, and it has been a real joy to use.

Exactly. One only has to look at the myriad of tv shows, video games, movies, etc. to see that we have more quality options than ever and are seeing even more niche, but commercially successful content. There’s more static too, but there’s a lot of good out there.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Foundation - the primary lobby group behind prop 13 - sold it to voters almost entirely on the basis of not kicking grandma out of her home.

Since then they've lobbied to slash California state pensions on the basis of balancing the budget. If Grandma was a teacher she can go f*k herself, apparently.
Are you saying the minority communities are undesirable?

I’m sure I must have read a few articles many years ago when I first started using tmux, but I can’t remember what they are now and I wouldn’t be able to provide you anything that you wouldn’t just find on a simple search. Maybe I will sit down and write one so that I can offer something if this ever comes up again.

Developing the muscle memory definitely takes some work and no doubt it will feel awkward and unnatural at first. I would offer the same advice I would offer to someone getting started with Vim: don’t try to learn everything at once. Start with the basics, get comfortable, and over time you’ll learn more and more little tricks.

For example, start with just getting comfortable with creating new windows (prefix + c), splitting windows (prefix + % or prefix + “), moving between panes (prefix + arrow keys), and moving between windows (prefix + n and prefix + p). If you’re used to using the mouse, you can also enable mouse mode which will make the transition a bit easier (this allows you to select panes by clicking into them and using the scroll wheel to scroll within panes).

I know offering raw config files is kind of a trope and not always helpful, but here are mine [1] if you’re curious. I try to keep my config minimal and not too fancy, but I do override/change some defaults.

Compare the following two examples:

5 − 2 = 3

5 - 2 = 3

The first one is correct. It contains the Unicode character 'MINUS SIGN' (U+2212). The second contains the Unicode character 'HYPHEN-MINUS' (U+002D) which is not suitable for representing the minus sign in mathematical typesetting.

Also, see https://i.imgur.com/ngFI3JB.png for a few examples typeset with MathJax. The first example has a proper minus sign (correct) whereas the second one contains a hyphen (incorrect). By the way, in plain HTML, the character entity reference "&minus;" displays the minus sign, although I just use MathJax when proper mathematics typesetting is required in HTML pages.

13 people under 50 died in Norway from Covid. 3 in the same age range (I believe) died of CVST after AZ. Not sure after how many doses in the age range but likely below 120.000 given the relatively few shipped to Norway. After that the regulator suspended it.

> Their average assessed value before the sale was $151,585.

I don't know quite how to analyze this data. But an average is an oversimplification of a series of years during which the properties' values were changing. What if they started at 200k at the beginning and then eventually sold for 100k at the end? Not necessarily unreasonable or unfair that they were assessed higher than 100k in that case. And because of differences among the properties it might at least be sane to do a median of each property's average-over-years.

NYT is probably right that there's an issue but '07 to '16 is probably not the best time period to sample.

Waymo ride service is not fully autonomous. There are remote assistant drivers that take over the situation if the system comes to a halt. I am guessing that the number of times they have to take over the cars remotely vs. number of times rides are fully autonomous in Arizona doesn't make it a good business to scale up. It makes sense to go back and focus on technology instead of scaling up a platform that might be just a loss leader.
If I were one of the "co-CEOs", I'd read that as "Google doesn't trust either one of us enough to do this alone". Co ownership of say, a project might be okay, but co-ownership of a specific leader title is silly to me, especially the top spot.
The tricky part here is how the study is constructed. If you take a dry swab with a known bacterial culture, wash in water for x minutes at temp y, and graph it, that might make sense. It just doesn’t reflect real world situations, which almost always involve some kind of biofilm, oil/grease, dirt or similar mass in a complex interaction.

Especially once lipids get involved (almost all hydrophobic), especially in combination with other types of substances like oil soaked dirt or dead skin (like what you get on a doorknob at the micro level), it just doesn’t work the same way on the same timescales with colder temps - it fundamentally can’t, chemistry doesn’t work that way. [https://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/temperature....]

If you want the same speed of reaction - aka same amount of oil converted to a not oil - with lower temps (and hence lower molecular velocities and less Brownian motion) you need more reactive chemicals and more aggressive physical action to get compound A in contact with compound B enough to have the reaction you need. It’s as true for soap as it is for anything else.

And this all of course has a giant * on it, since above a certain point the energy in the system causes parts of it to disassociate or form unwanted side reactions, so there is a limit where it ‘blows apart’, ‘crashes’, or ‘can’t stick’ to extend the analogy. I can’t think of any soap that would have that problem at temps within human ‘not going to immediately get 3rd degree burns’ ranges.
Hah! This is awesome, I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Haven’t been in this situation, but if you’re craving some sort of structure there are plenty of places where you could find a salaried job.

Companies value real world experience and having successfully built 2 products gives you skills that someone that came up through the ranks is unlikely to have. You may not have the technical credentials of a manager but you have the skills whether you know it or not.

Overall I would demoralize the importance of a career in your mind. Our society pushes the idea of dream jobs and passions and yada yada, which companies love, but most will be unlikely to find any contentment in employment. You can most likely find it outside of work, so try to find somewhere that you can fit in culturally and still have free time.
I had a condo in San Francisco. The building was on an old gas station site. The site remediation included a vapor barrier placed below the foundation, and a vent pipe from the soil to 10 feet (I don't remember the exact height, but it was prescripted in the permit) over the roof. Said soil vent had a fan that ran nightly exactly as you suggest, again prescripted by the permit to continue for at least 10 years. So I find this quite plausible. Perhaps her apartment was next to a similar vent pipe which had a leak.
Interesting, it looks like the studies I was thinking of are fairly old: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/study-finds-place...

Yeah I agree with that. But Apple has an app store hammer, and Microsoft has a Windows hammer too. Of all the hammers, I feel Google's is the least evil of them all. They're all really bad, the state of technology today is er ... something. But at least with the web, I maintain hardware freedom and really the most freedom overall.
FTA:

From 1974-1985, Synertek, Inc., leased the area directly uphill from where the Santa Clara Square Apartments currently stand. Synertek manufactured semiconductors, crucial to the production of microchips for computers and other technologies. The manufacturing involved highly toxic chemicals, and several tanks stored underground on site leaked VOCs into the groundwater, contaminating the soil around the area. In 1987, the area was deemed a Superfund site by the Environmental Protection Agency. In spite of this, or the VOCs known to be on site of the SCSA property, the DTSC did not make VOCs a part of their remediation plan for the apartments

I think the article title is not representing the actual finding well. Stated better in this article: https://earthsky.org/space/2i-borisov-pristine-comet-interst..., "2I/Borisov could represent the first truly pristine comet ever observed," meaning it hasn't interacted with a star before.
As the commentators point out, the important things aren't the things the video is showing, but rather the things it is leaving out or censoring — such as prices at the supermarket, or what (presumably foreign) brand shoes people wear, or what life is like outside the center of the capital.

That's why propaganda can be so effective. Your average person is not going to watch these with a critical eye, and their takeaway will be that life in NK is just like life elsewhere.
Knowing with certainty that the event will happen can lead to additional profit by being willing to accept less than fair odds or to increase leverage.

> we had been near the top of an s-curve when it came to space tech

Near the top of an s-curve in getting-to-space (“heavy lift”) tech, more like.

I’d say the field of actual in-space tech (i.e. technology that takes advantage of low-gravity / low-pressure / low-oxygen environments) is still pretty nascent. We still treat space as “Earth, minus some guarantees” (i.e. something we have to harden for) rather than doing much with the unique benefits of space.

It’ll probably take having a long-term industrial base operating from space to see much change there, though.

Imagine, for example, living on a space station, and having your food cooked using cooking techniques that assume cheaply-available vacuum and/or anoxic environments. :)
What about advertising on websites has failed us all?

Anyways, ViteJs and Tailwind jit recently are making development fun again. Too bad TypeScript still ruins the party.
People always think about medical conditions when thinking about archaic societies; but there is also an associated cost in not having a central ministry in charge of monitoring violence to women. Energy abundance shaped people’s moral values and society, we’ll also lose them when scaling down. In other example: Who cares about PETA during war, who protects the gays, etc.

So yes, scaling down is de facto against our moral values.
In many of the cases I've seen the company would've been better off with server rendered markup and perhaps some light client side validation (vanilla JS or jQuery). I'm at a loss as to how they ended up with this instead.
> I completely believe that we are the only species that feels existential dread, and it’s because we are designed in a special way for purpose and relationship

The alternative explanation is that there's a conflict between our high level of cognitive ability, giving us the power to imagine our own deaths and non-existence, coming into conflict with the baser survival instinct. Design is not a pre-requisite for the feeling of existential dread.

> nothing else has given me the tools to survive all the horrors life throws at you

I'm glad that religion has given you those tools you need, but religion also doesn't have a monopoly on them.
I don't mean it should be illegal to hire someone based on what they say. I mean that people should face the social consequences of holding and sharing opinions that sound similar to "all $identity_group should receive $abuse".

That's actually a good prediction. Biotech is untapped field for moonshot-scale breakthroughs, even the current mRNA vaccines is only a small part of what will be possible in 10-15 years.
Interesting, I didn't know that. I wonder what the real-world lag is for the remote driver, and how much it matters. Sounds dangerous at face value, like the lag could create a chain of events that ends badly. Even a "stop button" could have unintended consequences.
Actually, the studies you cite seem to be in line with this Scientific American article: no objective benefits, but some efficacy on subjective benefits and pain reduction.
> More commonly, typical patients prefer not to be photographed with medical equipment or in medical facilities

So you're saying that real patients don't take selfies with equipment on? What an odd thing to say. Like why would that somehow prove the validity of her story?
The "solution" to this problem is to not allow people to choose. In the country where I live the vast majority of schools are funded from the very high taxes you pay. You'd still have to pay those taxes if you choose to enroll your kid in a private school just so you could avoid a male teacher.

Male teachers are nevertheless underrepresented, due to other biases.
A continuous simulation of a finite collection of objects is absolutely possible (even computably so). In general, I don't find this breed of arguments convincing: even if you found a feature X of the universe which simulation isn't computably possible, you could imagine a Turing machine augmented with an oracle that makes use of X to simulate the effects of X itself.

It's really unclear how you can turn "we live in a simulation" into a testable prediction.

It's always easy to solve a problem by taking away a number of it's requirements. VB was good at forms but visually unacceptable for branding. It was difficult and unsafe to deliver over the internet. And again, there were a LOT of really bad VB applications that hurt usability and performance.

If all you're doing is building forms for an application then it's acceptable, but that's an easy problem solved with elegant solutions today as well. HTML can immediately deliver the styled application without installation to every device regardless of OS. It can propagate changes without reinstallation. It is accessible for every kind of user. And it does this while looking miles better than any VB application.
I have a different opinion. When we moved from the old way to semantical HTML5 generated still server side but which the layout was defined by the finally mature CSS, with the dynamic parts handed by JavaScript and RPCs, everybody agreed it was better. Such web was faster, more compatible, simpler to parse, and so forth. I think that, if in the 20 years that followed, frontend development would progress in the same direction of improvements, everybody would agree again now.

And indeed everybody agrees that JavaScript itself is now better as it is the modern web APIs. If the rest is so controversial there must be a reason.
I go through this less frequently nowadays but it always happens. Sometimes in the short run you aren't interested in programming any more. You think you are bad at it.

My bet is that if you have been in it for ~15 years you're probably going to be in it for another 30. Don't sweat it too much. I think it will turn out that regions of the brain will be like muscles. Sometimes you need to listen to your body/brain and give one muscle a break.

How many books do you read? Even when I'm sick of coding, I try to read some random programming books. There's a great quote, that when you think about who it's coming from, is pretty powerful advice: "In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time – none, zero." — Charlie Munger
The tweet is too vague so I don’t really know what they are referring to.

Reddit is slow now because they made what should just be static HTML that is updated occasionally into a web app for whatever reason.

React is much better than any alternative. I tried using native js but you really need all of the things react brings. Now you could go back to server-side, but it isn’t suitable for web applications. There are just too many interactive elements that don’t work with a HTML push to client and reload on every change approach. Server side plus client side is a lot more work and hard to maintain.

Still, I really hate front end development.
I think that "no one cares" is simply not truth. These books do have their readers who do love them. And that style of writing is not even niche, it is not rare to like such books.
Capturing CO2 from burned biomass (or waste) would provide a CO2-negative energy source. Not enough to run the world, but nice to have.
The justification for taxing real property taxes but not chattels is that real property is scarce and capable of producing positive externalities. Taxing it is one way to insure that it is put to efficient use.

VOC sensors are a kind of catch all, and consumer brands often have sensors that aren’t not of the highest quality. Somethings are more toxic than others, but you won’t get any useful breakdown from them. These nighttime spikes and variability over the day are consistent with my own use of these machines, but I do not suffer anything like what she describes.

It's hard to argue with that short textual message after it took me 3 attempts to finally load it. The quote for those who still struggle to access it:

> I look at the web today. Not as a programmer, but as a user of broken sites that are unable to obey the most basic rules of navigation and usability, terribly slow despite the hardware progresses. And I can only think that modern frontend development has failed.

Though it's probably not exactly a failure if usability, accessibility, and/or speed are not primary objectives for most, and discussing just that once again probably won't be very useful for fixing it.
This doesn't make any sense. A lot of people either don't want to buy due to their own personal circumstances or can't afford to buy. People buying places and renting out increases the supply of rentals, which makes it easier for those folks to rent.
If autonomous driving is approaching a sophistication that is practically useful on a large scale shouldn't we first see it widely deployed for delivery of packages and food and the like before we see it being used to move much more valuable charge like people?

I don't know why $47.10 is any less credible than $47, but here's more detail on what the estimate represents from TFAMA:

"For the $47.10/metric ton carbon capture cost, 48% comes from CAPEX while the remaining is OPEX. The equipment life of a carbon capture unit would be similar to that of a power plant, about 20-30 years. The $47.10/metric ton cost is just for carbon capture, and does not include transportation and sequestration costs."
You are still on the back foot as a plaintiff facing this kind of clause, because before the lawsuit begins the defendent will move to force litigation, and you'll have to fight this battle (at $300/hour) before the lawsuit itself even gets started.
