If you want to invest your identity in being a fan of Ayn Rand enough that you feel personally insulted by somebody critiquing the behavior of her characters and her devotees, then that is your prerogative. Not one I feel responsible for, though. Again, you seem very wrapped up in your notions. To the extent that rather than dealing with the message, you're attacking the messenger.

Not at all. They share an architecture, but are designed and optimized for different constraints and goals. It's likely the two lines will diverge further as the M series scales upward.
I bet they will now.
> The (1/7 million) is the current, unconditional and empirically observed adverse effect of the vaccine - this is a somewhat noisy measure of the true prevalence of this issue. It is okay to be cautious and there are legitimate concerns, and quite frankly, I trust the FDA have good reason to pause this if Moderna/Pfizer are readily available anywy.

How many injections do you personally need to feel comfortable? Seven million people is way more than any clinical trial for any drug you've ever taken, and I guarantee you any of them is more likely to kill you.

Every single year 150 people die from taking Tylenol in the US in the normal course of treatment -- and 500 die of acute liver failure due to acetaminophen overdose. 25,000 hospital admissions. 50,000 ER visits. If we pretend that 350,000,000 people take Tylenol each year, that makes Tylenol 50% more likely to kill you than this vaccine.

It's simply not ok. They are anti-vaxxers.
It is far from free if you are doing serious work with it.
As is typical for this comment thread, in further replies we can happily claim the effect that this has on the anti-vaxxing crowd, whose thinking we are all extremely familiar with. Of course, since we are all careful people we will also balance the effects of the decision to pause the vaccine against the decision not to pause in the face of potential blood clotting issues.
I believe there are significant public health implications to how information is released to the public that need to be considered better than they have been in the case of this pause and the similar case with the AZ vaccine.

I believe, as with software, that immediate release of unvetted, incomplete, and still-being-investigated information can be actively harmful to people.
An event on 4/20 referencing being "loaded"? Maybe Apple is getting into retail cannabis.
I am pretty sure that "Linus is an ethnic Swede, can't have that" was destined to sound offensive also to a fair number of people familiar with Finland, and that this was a predictable result. You also in passing manage to cast aspersions on the legitimacy of Finland as a nation-state while revealing a comprehensive lack of familiarity with American history. Please join wassenaar10 in resisting the impulse to visit your parochial resentments upon us and most certainly do not do so while appealing for tolerance under the banner of our 'unfamiliarity' with Finland. We are familiar enough with trolls and do not need to know any more than that.

Give it a go. Worst case, VM it. That's how I did my evaluations.
There's alot to unpack here and I resonate with it to a degree since I've also failed with 3 ventures so far, luckily while employed so as a result the failure wasn't so life or death, simply a learning experience.

1) Your 100% employable but like others have said you're not playing the tech interview gauntlet game.

2) Recover and reflect: Figure out what worked and what didn't work. This is important for your burnout recovery. Part of being burnt out means you feel incapable of achieving. This is not the case, reflect on what you did right and what went wrong, understand what you have to do to get where you want to be by taking stock of where you're at now. Then make a plan of where you want to be, keep yourself accountable, and every week analyze again where you are at and where do you want to be. Only make a plan after you have recovered.

3) De-risk your life, startups are inherently risky 96% of them don't make it to a Series B. However, you can build a SaaS product that gives you lifestyle money without taking on investors. Figure out how to take high impact low risk in everything you do in life. This allows you to have outsized returns on the things that work out and minimal drawdown for the things that don't. Sometimes you have to do risky things but if you're going to take risk find the metrics that you seem satisfied that make the risk worth it and then have a backup plan if it fails. This way you'll never be surprised.

Best of luck!
Resorting to calling people "anti-science" is just as counterproductive and unnecessary as calling them "anti-vax". You're only solidifying animosity and mistrust. People have every right to question what they're being told by the same governments who mishandled this epidemic from the start - especially since there such strong political incentives that aren't necessarily aligned with scientifically based recommendations.
Interesting, I hadn't heard this before. Do you have any resources I could read?

Edit: I do know that languages where strings are immutable use that fact to do lots of optimization (automatically sharing "copied" strings and just cloning reference-counters, for example), but you can accomplish some of this in Rust too with Rc<> or even persistent data structures if you really want to. And of course there are cases where it's more efficient to actually mutate a string, which these languages can't do. But it sounds like you're talking about something else?
Robert Heinlein’s The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress explored this concept of the low cost of transporting packages from the lunar surface to earth. Now mind you the “packages” were moon rocks shot by catapult at the Earth in a war of independence, but still a really interesting plot point. Everyone should read this book!
It is CVST not just blood clots. There are a lot more blood clots with or without the vaccine. CVST is rare so is the proverbial canary in the coal mine here.

The CVST incidents give a lower bound on risk. The trial data give a rough upper bound on risk (rough due to the small sample size). Knowledge is being refined here. We can't make educated choices without knowledge.
Did you get an antibody test to confirm that you've already had it? I don't think data supports the assumption that you've already had it; it's a rare disease even where it's spreading widely. I also have a gut feeling that people didn't take "lockdown" or social distancing seriously, but some counterevidence is that nobody in the UK has gotten the flu in 2021: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/flu-cases-covid-en... That's not because they're already immune, it's because diseases simply aren't being transmitted. As bad as people are about masks and social distancing, there is some measurable effect.

I'll also point out some anecdata. I know someone in their late 20s that got COVID. They have felt miserable every day in the 9 months since having it. Others have relayed similar stories. Public health authorities are worried about severe consequences like death, but death isn't the only possible outcome. You could just feel like shit for the rest of your life.

To me, this is a nasty disease that I do not want to contract. I probably won't die if I get it, but there is more to life than merely not being dead. As a result, I got the vaccine as soon as I could.
> but the cost could be large enough to bankrupt even the largest companies.

In my opinion, if you can't hire enough people to moderate without going bankrupt, then bankrupt you go! Would this mean we can't have social media? Maybe. Probably for the best.

But you can't moderate then you go out of business. That's the way it should be. Probably then people would find a way to moderate and stay afloat.
No.

That's not what it means.

Chrome was fine early on.

The problem is when they have abused their power for 5 years and have all but killed all competition.

Then they need to be published just like Microsoft was.

There's nothing to be worried about: Google will survive, just like Microsoft did despite some serious punishment. If anything Microsoft learned and came out (somewhat) nicer and more agile.

I have no objections to it personally, but in the context I proposed they/them, where the point was to not have to think about it, it is not applicable as you then need to consider the distinction between an unspecified person and a named person of unknown gender, where 'he' is not generally applicable, and often comes across as rude and presumptuous if you get it wrong.

And I still get the info in the 1% cases anyway, if I really want it.

With FLoC, will web developers be able to make claims that a site "will not work" without FLoC. How will they get users to use Chrome or other browsers that enable FLoC by default.
That's not really true. The phase 1 trials were a good bit faster than they'd normally be. Also, even if you ignore that, having years of phase 2 and phase 3 trials gives you a lot of additional safety data, in the form of larger trials with longer duration. Also, better cross-tabs, so that it's possible to assess safety by age, gender, race, pregnancy, etc.

The vaccine trials were limited in their power to detect rare events. The Pfizer trial [1], for example, explicitly said that events rarer than 0.01% are less likely to be detected:

> This trial and its preliminary report have several limitations. With approximately 19,000 participants per group in the subset of participants with a median follow-up time of 2 months after the second dose, the study has more than 83% probability of detecting at least one adverse event, if the true incidence is 0.01%, but it is not large enough to detect less common adverse events reliably. This report includes 2 months of follow-up after the second dose of vaccine for half the trial participants and up to 14 weeks’ maximum follow-up for a smaller subset. Therefore, both the occurrence of adverse events more than 2 to 3.5 months after the second dose and more comprehensive information on the duration of protection remain to be determined. Although the study was designed to follow participants for safety and efficacy for 2 years after the second dose, given the high vaccine efficacy, ethical and practical barriers prevent following placebo recipients for 2 years without offering active immunization, once the vaccine is approved by regulators and recommended by public health authorities. Assessment of long-term safety and efficacy for this vaccine will occur, but it cannot be in the context of maintaining a placebo group for the planned follow-up period of 2 years after the second dose.

Even a 0.001% risk is not small, when you're talking about giving the vaccines to billions of people.

(I don't mean to single out Pfizer here. It's just the one I've read most recently.)

With a single engine diversity is already dead. But one can argue you can still build shallow or deep skins on top, but the problem of default bundling with devices is harder to solve. That's really where Chrome got the clinching edge over Firefox.
Downvoted for sophistry and complete lack of addition to the discourse. Or do you happen to do a better job moderating a site elsewhere?
For pretty much the same reason that "1+2" is not parsed as an invalid integer.

Awesome review!
We then don't talk about the fact that we could go remarkably further on the same course if we took a much larger bulk of his wealth and put it toward similar objectives of reducing poverty, disease etc.

Who could? You and I could? The government could? Honestly asking, I don't really know what you're saying. If that money went to the government a very small percentage of it would be used to reduce poverty and disease. A much higher percentage of it would be used to fund the military.

Years ago, i suggested a algorithmic approach to moderation to a Open Source project i contribute too. They ultimately went another way (classic moderation), but the idea was pretty neat.

You basically create a feudal vouching system, were highly engaged community members, vouch for others, who again vouch for others.
If people in this "Dharma-tree" accumulate problematic behaviour points, the structure at first, bubbles better behaved members to the top. If the bad behaviour continues, by single members or sub-groups, the higher echelon of members will cut that branch loose, or loose their own social standing.

Reapplying members, would have to apply at the lowest ranks (distributing the work) and those would risk dharma loss if they vouched for sb unworthy in the trial out phase.

We never solved the bad tree problem though. What if there exists a whole tree of bad apples vouching for another? You can not rely on the other feudal "houses" indicating this correctly, due to ingame rivalry.
Marbles are buried in every yard that had children and will not be rare to future civilizations. They were very popular. Keys are the second most found item buried in yards. This was a recent discussion in r/gardening.

I can attest to this as I've torn out an entire front lawn and topsoil from a 1964 tract home, sifted every square inch of it through 1/4" hardware cloth to build raise beds for vegetables. The findings were, in order, so many marbles, over half dozen keys, little plastic dinosaurs or other toys, two 9mm slugs (likely from people shooting up into the air as they were not deformed.)
I personally don’t think your comment puts the effectiveness of moderation is in question, just the efficiency. So yes, I think places like YouTube and Reddit would greatly benefit from similar moderation (the rules don’t have to be exactly the same), but the difference in scale and, as you note, variability in the rules for different parts of those sites makes it so much harder to apply.
Eh, it's not. The US also has good bakeries, just not on every street corner. In Paris, walk 5 blocks and you'll pass at least one bakery and 37 pharmacies[1]. Cities in the US just aren't built that way.

[1] - No joke, standing in the street outside my apartment in Paris I could see green cross signs from 7(!) different pharmacies without moving just by looking in different directions.

Looks like the parser knows numbers end when the digits end so splits them into two tokens. (Ignoring the optional [lL] long suffix before Python 3)

One of those things that looks helpful at first glance, but is problematic in the long run. Throwing a syntax error immediately would lead to more robust/maintainable code.

That doesn't mean knock-on effect won't be huge. The people most outraged about the Gebru situation are the ones running our cultural institutions, specifically academia and news/media industries. They naturally have the loudest voices in the room, meaning this will harm Google even if I believe they're in the right for a change.
How does authorities being wrong / changing their recommendations factor in to what your consider a rational option? If you were a high risk individual back in January 2020 who ignored their advice and quarantined + wore a mask (an effective mask, i.e N-95), you made the right choice.

Despite how much smarter and informed humanity is, we still make decisions based on trust. Science can only explain so much and runs out of answers eventually.
this is interesting -- I was expecting to see a replacement for existng ttys, and was planning to complain about ssh forwarding, redirection, etc... instead, they explicitly say:

> Recall that the prime target now is local text-oriented, command line interfaces – not changing or tampering with the awk | sed | grep | … flow, that’s an entirely different beast.

So I'd call this a "TUI" (text user interface), and the proposed schema replaces X11 or Wayland, not xterm.
> In my view the only proper way to handle content moderation is that every user of these “free“ social media platforms over the age of 18 should should be required to moderate some proportion every month to understand what’s actually going on.

Does that mean no vetting at all of the moderators? Anybody can become a moderator? But then you have QAnon in large numbers moderating content on like the CNN Facebook page or something? I really, really, really don't think that is a "proper" or even tenable moderation solution.

There are too many people who would abuse the moderation power. Moderation should at least be a paid position, paid well in fact, and vetted before allowed to moderate. Otherwise it will be worse than before.
Yes, with the key point that the people who are most at risk of dying from the vaccine are a different set of people than those most at risk of dying from COVID.

When I was younger I commented to another coworker about how I didn't understand why employers place such high value on the MBA degree when the stuff learned obtaining it isn't all that useful in a real business.

My coworker shook his head and laughed at me, saying, "No one hires an MBA because of what they know, you hire an MBA because you know they'll do whatever dumb thing you ask them to without too much complaining or pushback; you're hiring for polished compliance."

I think these coding interviewers are more or less the same thing. They prove that the applicant is willing to eat a certain amount of sh*t without making a fuss about it.
I used to write that sort of software. We would coach the dispatchers on how to use the system. If they used it that way most of the time the drivers would start to vandalize the system in some way pretty much every time. We would then talk to the drivers and make sure the dispatchers would use the system correctly too.

Every group though would go though the 'you are spying on me' to 'love it'. Recover 1 or 2 stolen loads and suddenly that entire terminal would love the thing. Also at the time electronic logs let most drivers get a pass from the cops. The cops would take one look at it and nope out. I doubt it is that way anymore. Most of the time we encouraged the dispatchers to look for deviation of norm and encourage the drivers to note it (most systems have this built in) and it is in the law anyway even when you had to do it by hand. Mostly it caught that one group of dudes who had particular strip joints they would swing by on the clock. Which was a more of 'dont care you go, but I am not paying for it'. This usually made them even more mad. Mostly because of embarrassment, and the loss of income. Your idea of 'average it out' is exactly how it used to be done (and is still in some cases). But the thing is LTL, short, long haul has razor thin margins. If your average is higher than someone else's they will beat you out in the end. You add in more tracking (because your competitor will) as you need to find those spots where the average is not right and skewed because of years of doing it a different way.

If you have dispatchers getting mad for a 20 min deviation then the dispatcher is using the system wrong. The proper way to correct that is for the drivers to talk to them and use the built in messaging systems. If that does not work, document it and take it up with his boss or the shop steward. The dispatcher is probably hot because he had to pay OT to 3 other guys who should have clocked out 2 hours ago because you are late and now they left and no one to unload your stuff. His boss is mad at him because he is 6% overbudget again this month. All because some DOT guy in another state is 6 weeks behind doing their job and has half the interstate down to 1 lane for 30 miles.

Given all of that. I would never be a driver. It is a low trust environment... Hence the tracking.
Congrats on the launch!! Really excited for what your team is building.
