i would think so as well. Where are ships made anyway? It's more like only the Germans cared enough (about the ship or the cargo) to maintain it. I very much doubt the other companies were negligent.

At one point I might have agreed with you, but after working on a few sites of my own I found that Javascript just enables a vastly better user experience. No need to refresh the page every time the user does something like liking a post or sending a comment, can load content more seamlessly with pre-loading or lazy loading, enables expandable menu bars to maximize space for content when the menu's not in use, things can be loaded faster and with less data usage if you send page diffs instead of full pages of markup, etc.

Javascript's terrible when it's used to generate pages from bloated frameworks that create 5000 DOM elements, add listeners to everything, load a dozen external scripts, and so on, but it's really valuable when used to actually improve the user experience.

The storyteller did exist though. He even wrote a memoir! But he didn't write down his own stories. He narrated them for Galland, presumably in French, and Galland wrote them down... a few days later... from memory.

Because that's literally the land the hypothetical war would have been started to capture? Because the casus belli to their public has been that it's (PRC) Chinese land by historical and cultural right? Because the entire domestic and international point of provoking a Strait war would be to demonstrate China's strength?

It's a pretty bad look if your "winning" looks like "killed millions of people and rendered the land in question uninhabitable for a decade+." (To say nothing of the potential non-Taiwan collateral damage)

Best submission statement I've read haha.
Thanks - that makes me feel better about how they define mild, and thanks for the direct reference. Earlier in the pandemic mild was being used to mean only not hospitalized.

> “I don't know how you can possibly make such a speculation.”

I don’t mean to come across as overconfident, is my understanding of efficacy wrong? Or the purpose of control groups? I’m happy to be wrong or corrected.

The speculation comes from the efficacy numbers and the results in Israel - is there a reason to dismiss those?

Edit: Reading the Pfizer results from here (https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download) it seems like fewer moderate/severe cases of covid in the vaccinated population when compared to J&J (taking into account both of their placebo groups)? I’m not sure if I’m reading these correctly, but the docs don’t seem to contradict my impression that the mRNA vaccines are better.
Ok sure but when you open with “one of the largest smartphone manufacturers is actually not a smartphone manufacturer” its kind of hard to hear anything else you’re saying.

I read that gold actually outperformed the stock market since the end of the gold standard in the US (1971). I didn't really believe it , but it sort of did, depending on when you bought gold [0]. Not that gold is a good investment, but it does say something that its increased at ~7% a year since introduction of a completely fiat currency. I'm not smart enough to have a story to explain what that all means, but let's just say its ... weird

> However, to guarantee occlusion we need an additional y-buffer

Not necessarily. If there is a uniformly colored background, and the pixels being drawn are of a different color, you can test the existing pixel value to determine whether it's a foreground object, or background. In the rare case that an object pixel value happens to be the same as the background, you can make an alteration in the least signficant bit of the least sensitive color to make it different.

If there is a complex background, chances are you have a full copy of it, and can refer to it to see if any pixel in the image has changed.

And in any case, a Y buffer is just the size of one scan line. E.g. using a 1024x768 screen as an example (3 byte RGB pairs), you need 1024x2 bytes for the Y buffer. That's .08% of the size of the frame buffer. You could use a scan line in the frame buffer for this storage. If you are not actually using the entire screen (because, say, the game shows the inside of a cockpit with instrumentation) there is no sacrifice at all; after being done using that temporary memory, you will draw over it anyway.
I agree on 1. for sure. I bought a HP Envy laptop a couple of years ago and the hardware is terrible. The touchpad is awful compared to a MBP, the thermals are awful (doing anything will start the fans), and worst of all the metal is flimsy and has started to bend around the USB ports and the whole thing generally feels like it is going to fall apart, in around a year of use.

Even though the envy was a fair bit cheaper than a Macbook (Air/Pro) it doesn't really make sense if it falls to pieces after a year. I usually get 5 years out of my Apple laptops and that is with insanely heavy use.

The public health authorities won't be honest about any of this. Anytime the choice is between controlling the behavior of stupid people vs. telling the public the truth, they choose the former every time.

"Organic immunity"? You mean that thing that the public health authorities are pretending doesn't exist, therefore requiring me, a person who caught, tested positive, and recovered from COVID in February to get vaccinated? Yeah, let me know when they stop pretending. I'm willing to get a vaccine, but annoyed because it has no benefit for me and only risk (albeit low).

Edit:

Downvote all you want, but I was a teen in the 90s when the public health authorities pretended like heterosexuals engaging in standard sexual activities were at equal risk of catching HIV compared to IV drug users and gay men. They weren't remotely at the same risk, by orders of magnitude. They wanted to promote safe sex and abstinence in teens and young people, which is a good thing, but they didn't hesitate to use the fear of HIV as a tool to (dishonestly) achieve that goal.

I don't know. I have a friend who has almost no bone in his knee area, something that was only discovered when he broke is leg. The only explanation for that is a cancer the grew for a while then died out. I don't know how common this is, just that I know of one case where it is believed to happen.

There are other cases of cancer going into remission after doctors gave up on any treatment working.
Oh I’ve got much worse than that. I have 56k modems, T1/E1, ISDN equipment, and even some weird 4800/9600bps mainframe modems all sitting around until I finally put together my internal little networks. Then I may decide to screw around with old LANs like Token Ring and WAN backbone stuff like ATM.

Hard to tell, as it depends on personal choices. If everyone in a high risk group gets immunized, sure.

Anecdotal but for my 2 appointments, the immunization centers clearly had a lot more capacity than customers. Lots of unused space and not-busy workers. I would guess because people that should be in line chose not to be.
Its pretty common and predictable over the last decade

I've always hated big companies, because of the red tape/politics. I've slowly gravitated to freelancing/working from home, and I've been doing it (WFH) since roughly 2003.

I've lately had a client almost for 10 years, and towards the end, I really really wanted to create my own product. I won't bore you with the details, but it's a video editor and I will launch it in about 1 month.

I have saved up enough money to last for 1 year no matter what happens. So it's a risk -- it may or may not pan out.

If it doesn't, I'll go back to consulting.

Coming back to meetings: with this client, I had 2 meetings/week, I didn't really enjoy it, but on the plus side, they were very thorough (the meetings were very short, 15-30 minutes)
My previous 2 companies it rarely happened, if ever. But it has happened a lot with me at Google. But I also think it's a property of the teams I am on. Other teams it doesn't seem to happen as often.

Having whiteboards around, I will see people talking about certain things or explaining some new system, and it's easy to jump in. Maybe these could be considered impromptu meetings, but they still have been great for me.
My state tells me that the best time-frame to get the 2nd dose is 21-42 days after 1st dose. But luckily some sloths because available (maybe they weren't scheduling that far out yet).
Value classes cannot provide the performance/memory flatness that Valhalla will bring though. So I'm not really sure what benefit does "values classes" bring. Just to make sure, you are talking about the inline class which is just a wrapper around single property?

I agree that it's unlikely unless there's massive public outcry, and even then I don't see it happening. The status quo is too entrenched and until elected leaders feel the pain from their constituents nothing is going to change.

I concentrated on SSN because it's the government-issued fact-based "authentication" factor. The other fact-based factors are just as bad.

I wish we could have a government-sponsored PKI but between concerns from citizens about "freedom" (either freedom for business to "innovate" in the space, or freedom from individuals to be "tracked" by the government) and from surveillance advocates who will want to include key escrow/recovery provision I don't see it flying.

In some other comments on this post I mentioned the USPS would be a great "trust" provider. They already serve in that capacity to some extent evidenced by the various government entities who accept an addressed piece of mail as proof of residency. I don't think there'd be enough bipartisan support to make it happen, but I think it'd work great.

It is much easier to get older poetry, e.g. Kipling or Robert Service or even Shakespeare than it is to get modern poetry. Modern poetry eschews rhyme[0] for various reasons (some good, most bad in my opinion) and because it is less structured it is hard to know how it is supposed to be read unless you hear a recording of it.

I think modern poetry, like many other forms of modern art is too clever for its own good and normal people can better appreciate works done in older styles.

[0]: Obviously there are exceptions.

Corbusier contemporary / radiant cities was based around automobile scale.

Chinese super/megablock urbanism connects to sufficient public transit and work mostly as planned. Add residence community governance layer (coordination mechanism for managing Wuhan covid lockdown) and you have a fairly functional setup, good civic participation especially in newer blocks with more mix-use at ground floors. It's a working urban model for megacities for massive countries, and one that would apply particularly well with India's density, flat terrain, assuming India can overcome infrastructure / transit deficit. Less proven strategies being explored now are managing internal migration and urbanization to growing tier2/3 cities to balance development.

But for a developing country with poor infra/housing stock, it might be developmentally prudent to just start spamming high density urbanism to get the ball rolling. There's enough cheap excess labour in India for generations to fix things up after the fact. But IMO India's problem is she's not ready to urbanize when huge % of population are farmers. Caste system fucked development priorities, too much focus on information services that employs the privileged few versus low end manufacturing opportunities that employs the masses. $2000 per capita and lack of development causes 700,000 infant mortalities per year, India needs coal plants and factories to alleviate poverty before it can afford sustainable cities. At least transition enough farmers to factory work to reduce stubble burning and justify the excess pollution.
More people getting covid means more chances of a mutation that makes it spread easier or is resistant to current vaccines. A surge now is a bad thing.

Well in this case, the order is from a military government, which locked up the elected politicians earlier this year and is shooting its people in the streets, so the boat on “a truly open, democratic society” has kind of sailed. It also suggests, to the people running the networks on the ground, that the military is very open to coming round and shooting you if you don’t shut it down.
"we have vaccinated over 30%"

Some places are at much lower percentages. "Fully vaccinated" varies from ~12% in Utah to ~24% in New Mexico. 17% overall for the US.
Its hard to do, but if you can block out 90sec to 5min or so to hit a broom closet, toilet stall; some isolated place, and have a mini-meditation session, it could help. Closing everything out and focus on being for a few seconds can make the next few hours much more tolerable.

Of course when you're in the midst of a hectic day and hopping about like a frog on a griddle, being calm enough to reach for peace is vary hard anyway, and doing it quick is harder.

The CDC recommendations do substantially reduce the precautions you have to take once you're fully vaccinated.

But note that wearing a mask is still required. At a technical level, you may still be able to spread the disease, even if you're fully vaccinated. And the vaccines aren't 100% effective, so even the minimal self protection you get from a mask is better than nothing.

More importantly, I believe, is sociological: once there are a lot of people in public without masks, even if it were safe, a lot of people would take it as an excuse not to wear one. That leaves both them and others open to getting sick. The mask is a minimal inconvenience, and should be continued.

If you want want to skip the mask among people you know to be vaccinated, in private, that's about as safe as anything ever gets in life. Even small, private gatherings with a cluster of unvaccinated people (i.e. people who all live together) are reasonably safe without masks for those who are vaccinated.
If you hold a basket of currencies this can be traded as an instrument. There is a long standing proposal for example to speed the adoption of a multi-currency basket as kind of a forced substitution of the dollar as global reserve currency, an idea that has a lot of merit.

You know, when Google said Android 11 and up would require A/B firmware, I ditched my beloved OnePlus One, and bought a OnePlus 6 instead.

Now I see that the One is getting Android 11, but there's no sign of a build for the 6. It's probably coming, but I find it ironic that the phone that "wouldn't be supported" has a zero-day build, but the phone that _is_ supported doesn't have one (yet).
