> But python is a bit fumbly when it comes to invoking external programs. try: ... subprocess.bleh except: ... ugh.

I actually tend to prefer that these days — if I write shell I'm tossing in "set -e -u -o pipefail" anyway and subprocess's newer APIs end up being cleaner when you need to do anything non-trivial for error handling (I usually end up with one `try:` block for most of the program and maybe one or two `except: cleanup(); raise` blocks. Having the logic be clean and consistent saves you so much time when you revisit that program a month later.

The biggest wins I've seen from quoting external program arguments — either not needing to do so at all or passing things cleanly through shlex.quote makes it so much easier when you have the possibility of any special characters in arguments.
Last I knew there was only one browser for iOS (Safari) which can neither be removed nor replaced, just reskinned. If that's still the case, it would be pointless to even give it a rating.

An analysis of the relative risks is obviously the objectively correct answer from a rational perspective, but most people aren't making decisions based on that kind of statistical reasoning (though we'd doubtless have better outcomes if they did). There's a serious risk that problems like this can spark a backlash against all COVID vaccines if not handled conservatively--there are plenty of people just waiting to have their anti-vaccine confirmation biases triggered. How to handle these events is as much a question of social behavior and public relations as it is of science.
We are combining auto correction (SymSpell) and auto completion (PruningRadixTrie). That is sometimes tricky. We are using a static spelling correction dictionary which does not contains the term algolia, but angola.
SymSpell is very fast, but requires a lot of memory. Therefore we are using a static dictionary, and not a dynamic dictionary derived from each individual index of each customer. Auto completion on the other hand we are dynamically generating for each individual index/customer.

> If that were true then there wouldn't be a cancellation fee.

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. The cancellation fee does not cover the full amount owed for the remainder of the services, so clearly the existence of a (50%) cancellation fee indicates it is not a "loan" you are paying back. If it was a loan, you'd actually be on the hook for the whole thing.

> That's disingenuous anti-consumer corporate bullshit.

Could you elaborate? If you want an actual rolling monthly contract, that is an option too. The point of the yearly contract which you pay monthly is to allow for cheaper prices because you are guaranteeing a year of revenue. If you want maximum flexibility, pay monthly.

> They both should be considered worse than loans.

You realize contracts protect both sides, right? If you have a rolling monthly phone plan, the price can increase every month. If you agree to pay for a year, you get a locked-in price, the seller gets a guaranteed year of revenue, and everyone wins.

> It is if you have to pay for those services even if you don't want them any more.

As pointed out in point 1, you're not paying for the services so this argument is actually the opposite of what you want it to be.
It means, as you succinctly captured, that the startup is dead. The founders may well move on, but the original venture is toast. Point being: generally a startup doesn't have sufficient resource to recover from any serious missteps, particularly in the earlier parts of the game. All you can do is close the doors and move on to the next thing. Or get a job. The people survive (though frequently not without taking some damage, emotional, personal, financial or other) but the venture itself... no.

I'm not Hossenfelder's biggest fan, but she is more than qualified. She's best known for her popularizations -- as is the case for practically every living physicist you've ever heard of -- but her work on quantum gravity is real. She's as qualified as pretty much anybody else who's going to appear in public to talk about such things.

She's better known for her criticism of the process of physics, a thing which is both correct and somewhat irritating (because it's not really a secret and she's not offering useful solutions). But she is a genuine physicist as well as a popularizer.
The author is talking about a definition of wealth in the top quintile, 20%, or top 80 million of Americans. In some other figures he talked about upper class in pew's research, which is double the national median income. Households in that income bracket earns a whopping $187,872 per year, and have $848,000 in wealth. Why are people talking about founders and the extremely wealthy in context of those numbers?

Most of those people are regular people with regular incomes with good saving habit, and/or got lucky because the house they bought 30 years ago happen to be in a boom area.

We are urgently in need of a republican house & congress who are super against big-media censoring anything.

I prefer no censor over any attempt of speech control.
I see it completely differently.

For a lot of the people that get to that level of wealth, it was never about the money. It was always about something else. I don't think the Bezos, Zuckerbergs, and Musks of the world wake up every morning wanting to make more money. They find fulfillment in their work. The external recognition is not bad either.

I think you're right that some people who want to continue making money are mentally ill, but there are other reasons people continue working. For some, the money is just a byproduct.

I also moved to Europe after a life in the USA, Australia, and Japan .. and have also noticed that Europeans have a much more keen sense of wars - in general - than the Australians or Americans .. and I attribute it to victor bias, mostly.

Australians have no clue what real war is, but they celebrate it in their most sacred parks. Americans believe they will never be defeated in war, but don't consider conditions on Skid Row to be a sign of defeat.

Its a terrible thing to understand that, in general, people do believe there will be more war and social upheaval on the horizon - but its even worse to realize there are entire continents of people who will suffer mightily, when it happens.

A pause on vaccines will cause far more deaths than a 1 in 1 million chance of blood clots.
"six reported cases were among more than 6.8 million doses"

The odds are extremely low. I’d not freak out.
Makes sense.

Given there are some organizations that are forcing you to get a vaccination. 1 in a million chance of dying from something you were forced to do is different than 1 in a million chance of a pseudo-random event. Makes no sense to continue with J&J given the other two don't have this issue at the moment.

Of course, the utilitarian approach is to simply continue vaccinating with J&J since surely more people are helped than harmed. I'm sure they'll reverse this decision soon enough.

When we were young my (now) wife kept jumping from job to job around the south east, and we'd move pretty much every year. As we were renting it didn't cost much to move - hire a van for a couple of days and job done.

However when we settled down with kids priorities changed, living close to a train station with good connections for work was less important, school catchment areas were, and the main importance is stability. The longest rental contract you can take in the UK is 3 years, after that who knows what will happen - maybe the owner will sell up, maybe they'll double the rent. A 5 year or even 10 year fixed mortgage gives certainty.

But the key thing is we wouldn't be able to rent if nobody owned properties they didn't live in.
The home ownership rate is a lot higher outside major cities. It's only 30-40% in most major US cities.

Regardless, at current (historically quite low) interest rates, a typical software engineer's salary will qualify you for a very large mortgage.

You'd be surprised. At 30, I saw many of my friends go from thinking they'll never afford a home to each buying one over just a few years.
well this sucks—the server one of my friends set up & we all use to communicate, coordinate video game nights, share recipes, and such, is marked as NSFW.

I might, but I've had mediocre experiences with custom images in the past, even with officially supported Cyanogen versions. Something would randomly break and only a reflash would fix it. Has this gotten better?

I’m French, my family has a lot of military members .

In the 80´s the threat was Russian tanks marching to Paris from East Germany. 12h away.

France is really aware of its place military speaking.

We know we can’t sustain a serious conflict with country armed like Russia for instance.

At the time the official plan was to sustain a Russian offensive for 3 days.
And then either use nuke, or hope for allies /NATO force to be in a position to do something.

( those plan were for « USSR surprise attack » )

Right now, I have no idea .

But you make a good point. People in Europe still remember wars. It’s not a movie thing.
Yes, but the risk is death and there are alternatives that do not appear to have this risk. Why not pause until it is more well understood?

In the US, the other vaccines are starting to become really readily available.
No, so their governments can use fear of those refugees to spend more money on police and counter terrorism.

I agree with you.

The interest rate is the "price" of money. Central banks controlling the interest rate effectively practice price controls for debt. Much has been written about price controls, but fundamentally they create inefficiencies. Unfathomable amounts of debt have been completely misallocated in pursuit of whatever the goal of interest rate control has been.
It's bad policy. But it's important to get the analysis right: the choice here isn't between a very safe vaccine and an unvaccinated world population facing a pandemic to completion (which matches "the potential to kill millions").

It's between "continued rapid vaccination with all three approved US vaccines" and "somewhat delayed vaccination with one of the three approved US vaccines". That's not remotely a million-person delta, though the number is surely much higher than the 1/1M case rate on these blood clots.

Honestly the worst effect isn't with the vaccinations per se, it's the potential that this may delay vaccine acceptance rates among people sitting on the edge, due simply to fear.

Yes, code that is not being used should be deleted as soon as possible. Even if it was the cleanest code ever written - delete it.

Oh yeah, because migrants are so popular in Europe.
One could argue (and many have, persuasively, I think) that Europe making a big show of being highly conservative about the blood clot non-issue with the AZ vaccine caused people to dramatically overestimate the risk of getting any kind of COVID vaccine. e.g., I recall an anecdote about a person in the US, who was going to get a different vaccine in any case, who decided to not get a vaccine because a family member from Europe assured them that blood clots were a serious risk that they should definitely be worried about.

Looks like it was 6 cases after about 7 million doses. Even if it were caused the vaccine, the risk there is incredibly low. Much lower than the risk of an adverse COVID case, I would think.

Does pausing to investigate such an incredibly rare occurrence increase the public's trust in vaccines (because they see the government is being extra careful with safety data) or decrease it (because skeptics will use this as evidence that there are problems with the vaccines)? I feel like it's mostly the latter, but I dunno.

Not to mention all the COVID cases that might have been prevented while the rollout is paused to investigate a potential side effect that's less than one in a million.
Perhaps isn't so much about oil and other natural resources as renouncing to national pride of being a world power. Something similar to the US-Puerto Rico situation. Puerto Rico doesn't offer any benefit to the US (if anything it's a money pit), nonetheless the US won't leave Puerto Rico because it's a testament of US status as a superpower.
