One of my best friends and his wife have long covid and it has completely wrecked their lives. They had covid 6 months ago and are still incapable of going back to work. My friend was an avid cyclist and his wife was also pretty physically fit.

My friend described to me how hard it was for him to make a grilled chese sandwich and how it required him to take breaks in between taking the things out of the fridge and beginning the grilling. He also described to me how he couldn't even listen to music until recently because he couldn't focus on it.

It is only recently that he can talk to me on the phone for 30 minutes without getting completely exhausted from the mental energy of it.

If Apple wins the case it would be terrible for the infosec community, every business that got pwned due to a 5 year old wordless exploit will be able to sue Rapid7 which would quite likely mean that Metasploit will be too much of a liability to maintain.

They're using the vulnerability in question to go in and eliminate that vulnerability, locking themselves out. It's like a cop seeing a wide open front door, and going into the threshold in order to reach the door handle so he can pull it closed. Did he go into the house? Yes.

Have a friend who got a driving related offense in a Bay Area county. He asked to go to jail for two or three weeks as he had a good job and income and could make it work with his boss. It was denied and he had to do weekend community service for 8 months.

As a traveling consultant, this was a real wrench into his job and for his employer. He'd have to travel back every Thursday because he could not afford a Friday flight cancellation and missing service. Now, this court and county insists they structure it this way so to have the least impact on people. But he would arrive and watch all his crime peers arrive by taxi, foot or bike (bus service to that area on Saturday morning was a no-op).

The vast majority of his peers were not people who could afford $20 each-way taxi or uber trips and worked jobs on weekends. They lost their jobs because their licenses were suspended. He suspected many of them gave up trying to comply and parked 1/2 mile away, driving their cars with with suspended licenses.

Community service is basically a racket and not necessarily a better work/life deal than prison.
Eh, gold is probably more analogous to houses.

The current price is largely a product of the speculation in the market, but at the same time ... a lot of people buy houses just because they want to live in them. So you have people buying houses at two, three times the price they'd be paying without the pure real estate investors speculating up the price, but at the same time, they're just buying them because they want a house and will pay the absurd price.

Likewise, there's a huge amount of speculation in the gold market, and that's probably what defines the price of gold, but at the same time, something like 50% of newly-mined gold goes to make jewelry, and most people buy it because they want it, even though [or because] it is over-priced, and they aren't buying it as an investment, just a pretty thing to have.

That doesn't mean that gold or houses are good investments, or that the markets aren't going to crash to a tenth of their current valuations next month or ten years from now, but it does mean there is a second component to the market -- you have speculators interacting with consumers, and the speculators can extract money from consumers who will buy the underlying good even at a bad price.

(Oddly, I'd say house buyers are more-expecting to get the money they invested back at some time in the future, compared to gold jewelry buyers.)

>"I'm from Canada so we don't have a hardline free speech movement like the USA"

I'm in Canada as well an while I do not like many things in the US when comparing to Canada I am absolutely on their side when it comes to things like freedom of speech and things like Bill of Rights.

Formally due to notwithstanding clause I do not think we have any rights at all as the government basically can override our rights any time it feels like. Sure it does not do it every other Monday but still it's been used something like 15 times and recently our provincial wizards like Legault and Ford just showed what does this Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms mean for them - apparently zilch.
The second paragraph of the post you are replying to seems to anticipate this response:

"So, we need to both move more towards prison and start digging in to which actual people inside bad corporations were responsible for deciding to do wrongdoing."

In the post-Enron world, however, executives have learned how to use incentives to motivate their minions to break the law without being explicitly told to do so. On the one hand, this makes it difficult to prosecute those who bear most responsiblity; on the other hand, more effective prosecution might curtail the supply of minions who can be motivated to be compliantly criminal.

That helps a bit but actually it gives another way for the scammers to trick you. They have private inventories and give some BS reason for having it private. People that actually actively trade and invest never have private inventories because otherwise how would you trade? Also most other people don't set theirs to private either if they have anything nice because they want to show it off.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, as that's as true of a statement as almost anything. This weird, hypermasculine obsession with capitalism amongst this forum (and tech community at large) just perpetuates injustices.
I highly recommend doing toastmasters. I also had problems with not being able to read people’s expressions while speaking and then becoming very nervous. It took me only a few speeches at toastmasters to learn that a lot of people have a blank stare or even frown while listening but actually liking the speech. I went from being super nervous and reluctant to speak to not being nervous at all in less than a year.

Toastmasters is a super supportive and safe environment. You just have to give yourself a push to sign up for your first speeches and then it’s actually fun and very rewarding.

I would rate toastmasters as one of the top five things I have done to improve my life.
I made this tool to prepare for exams more efficiently.

It’s funny, I remember when the iPhone was announced Steve Jobs said “the killer app is making calls!” and then proceeded to show (correctly at the time) how hard making calls with phones was, and how much better it was going to be.

And now? I literally don’t use this feature.

I turn on Do Not Disturb and “block unknown callers”, and turn on emergency-mode for anyone I actually care about, and receive no other rings on my phone. At this point, I refuse to spend even a moment considering any call that does not leave a voice mail.
> you prfioritize performance over everything else

More or less. I’m a programmer, and I want computers to compute things.

If I only wanted them to play youtube, I’d get a tablet instead. If I only wanted a laptop to run a word processor, I would look at these MacBooks or equivalent Windows devices.

> If you have a fixed amount of thermal headroom to play with

In case of ultra-thin laptops like macbooks, the primary reason why it’s fixed to just 10-15W is to look good on marketing materials. Technically, it’s easy and cheap to make it fixed to the value several times higher than that. After all, 10 years ago mainstream laptop CPUs were dissipating 35-45W: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridge#Mobile_platform

“Bernie really was a successful businessman with quite original insights into the market, and he’s continued applying his business instincts in prison,” Fishman said. “At one point, he cornered the hot chocolate market. He bought up every package of Swiss Miss from the commissary and sold it for a profit in the prison yard. He monopolized hot chocolate! He made it so that, if you wanted any, you had to go through Bernie.”

> if anyone is an anime fan here.

Or manga, it's originally a manga series before the 26-episode anime adaptation.

The anime actually diverges from the manga in the latter section, because it was started before the series had ended (the manga finished serialisation in January 2004, the anime finished airing in February of the same year… and it was a 26ep full-season thing), so viewing both can be interesting in more ways than the usual watching of filler and interest in cross-media adaptation:

> While the manga deals more with existential themes, and humanity's relationship with space, the anime further expands the political elements of the story.
They have vans with lots of radio equipment which they will drive around to find you.

You’re not allowed to interfere with radio resources which the public owns, even for someone else on your property. Some hotels have gotten fined for interfering with wifi hotspots for example.

You’ll be hard pressed to build a jammer which is loud enough to interfere with signals just on your property and not interfere outside or be detectable. You also don’t own the sky above your land and can’t take away radio spectrum from aircraft, etc.
I can avoid getting into my car and running that risk. It’s still there and can happen, but I can opt to not drive my car.

The vaccine is eventually going to be mandated to go back to the office, go places, etc.. That’s a risk that you can’t avoid and will have to take.

I’m all for vaccinations and get them when needed, I’m still not comfortable for vaccines that have not been approved. Right now, they all have emergency approval and not overall approval. According to the cdc, vaccines need at least ten years of data to be considered safe for use. We’re only a little over a year into the development of the vaccine. Not really safe in my eyes.
I don't know what was they reason they chose but a one possible one is that unicode variable names introduce several implementation challenges. You need to worry about normalization (the same character may be represented by different byte sequences) and you might need to have large tables to be able to tell whether an unicode character is a letter or a symbol. There are also problems with encodings; UTF-8 vs Latin-1 and so on...
I am trying and find concrete examples of where this is superior to mainstream SQL. Right now the documentation and examples are targeted at higher-level users than myself and it is not clear (to me that is) what it is trying to solve. Anyone have an ELI5-type link?

I agree, but there are people who create bank accounts (and I'm sure Coinbase accounts) with fake ID and use them for illegal proceedings. So while we can trust that the transactions log is accurate, it doesn't always prove a link to an actual person. My concern is someone having their identity stolen (or even just impersonation), used for KYC, then being linked to crimes without any deniability at all.

Edit: like IP address and torrent lawsuits etc.
Presumably, their argument is:

1. You need a license to use software

2. iOS is only licensed for use on bare-metal Apple hardware

3. Therefore, virtualisation is copyright infringement

4. Corellium makes iPhone virtualisation software

Of course, many hacker types would argue if you've got a license to something there's nothing morally wrong with format-shifting it to your heart's content, regardless of what the license or the letter of the law may say. Apple is probably relying on the courts taking a less enlightened view.

Coinbase is definitely a success story in how to appeal to the masses. There were always alternatives, but coinbase always came out on top despite the high fees and poor customer service.

I think Coinbase as a publicly traded company will be very interesting to follow. Not only is it a massively cyclical industry, but the supposed point of crypto is to reducing the reliance on, and grifting from, companies like Coinbase. It's very success should be inverse to the goals of crypto, and over time, one would think the relationship can only get more fragile.
Unpopular opinion - Bitcoin would be better without Coinbase.

> results in someone recommending Udemy courses

I don't want to sound snarky but have you taken those Udemy courses?

That's pretty structured training. Sure, it's not specific to your codebase but the foundations would be applicable. Also, if you ask someone for advice and they give you a suggestion and you don't follow through on it, don't be surprised if they're less than willing to help you out the next time. Even though the advice is not exactly what you were looking for, you might find it more applicable than you realize. Take the course then circle back with them and say something like "hey, I took that course you recommended and I had a question about X from it. Do you have a minute to talk about that?" Most likely they'll take the time because you've now built some trust with them that you're open to their advice and feedback.

Yes, you do need to be somewhat self-motivated. If you get more value from listening than reading, then yes things like udemy or coursera are something you should be taking and watching a little bit everyday. Most reasonable companies will pay for it if you go to your manager and make a case for it.

> I expected...a technical lead who would initially spend a lot of time talking me through everything, then maybe start giving me small tasks and working through them with me.

A technical lead may have years at the company. Expecting them to walk you through "everything" is unrealistic. If you're not getting small tasks, then yes, being proactive and asking for small tasks is important. Figure out what specifically you're stuck on and ask for specific guidance. Asking for someone to "spend a lot of time talking you through everything" is not going to go over well. You won't retain much of it and it will generally be a waste of time for both parties.

Think of learning like concentric circles expanding outwards. Start on a very small thing and complete that and then slowly expand outwards. It sounds like you want to start the other way. It doesn't work like that.
"while" describes itself particularly poorly for native English speakers. It implies a duration that continues until a condition changes, but really the condition is only checked at the beginning of every loop. English speakers have to get over the incongruity using a word for a contiguous period of time to indicate repeated checks at distinct points in time.
I sure hope these lockdowns are actually temporary!

> If a corporation is a legal person with inalienable rights (as the SCOTUS seems to have decided on)

Please stop repeating this nonsense. Corporate Personhood is a legal idea, and does not mean a "corporation is a legal person". Without corporate personhood, you wouldn't be able to sue a company for wrongdoing if the guilty employee quit, or even enforce basic contracts.

There are serious problems with corporations not being held liable, but the situation would be worse without Corporate Personhood, not better.

Denmark reports AZ's serious blood clotting issue as up to 1:40'000.

I will still get vaccinated with it if it's available in our country for me as I think the risk is worth it in my case. But if I was a woman under 60 and especially under 40 I would be hesitant to get vaccinated with AZ and probably wait for other vaccine.
Everyone is supply constrained. Actually, the US is probably the country that is the least supply constrained.

Yet the EU and even India/China/Russia are exporting vaccines. This speaks a lot.
