"The 6ft rule" is probably a decent proxy for "stay out of each other's personal space".

I think people miss that public policy is 1 part science and 1 part "making rules that might actually help given that people are idiots". Rules that are too complicated, subtle or onerous just won't get followed. We have enough trouble getting people to do the 6ft thing.

Yes, but...
I'd only do it if I had a DC rapid charger nearby (i.e. a supercharger if you buy a Tesla or a CCS if you buy a VW). And keep in mind you're going to pay more for the electricity at the DC rapid charger than you would at home--probably 2x or 3x the price per kWh.
I can't see how using photos as a basis for artwork is fair use. If that were the case, advertising agencies wouldn't have to pay photographers or other asset creators, they could claim fair use for transforming those photos and assets into an advert which is a new piece of art.
Have you tried backblaze b2 storage? Requires more work client-side but is around 1/4 to 1/5 the price.

The only issue is whether or not you have a CDN in front of this data. If you do then backblaze might not be much cheaper than S3->Cloudfront. You'd save storage costs but easily exceed those savings in egress.
It may be splitting hairs, but I wouldn't really call most vaccine skeptics "anti vaxxers". The legitimate "anti vaxx" community are legitimately uninterested in science. These people will never get vaccinated, regardless of data.

A much larger group of people is skeptical of the government and vaccines. These people might get vaccinated, and every piece of information that comes out in favor of vaccination has the possibility to sway some of them.

My post was about the first group, not the second.
It's worth a watch. Bret Weinstein was a year early on the lab leak hypothesis, when it was taboo to even ask the question. Only now are scientists able to discuss it somewhat openly; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26750452
Malaria used to happen in USA and Europe, it was eradicated there less than hundred years ago.
We're not really in disagreement. Let me explain a bit more. Science is a process/methodology of exploring/understanding our natural world/natural phenomenon, Yes? And as such, there is good science, there is average science, and there is junk science. They're all under the same 'Science' umbrella.

>The science that supports the efficacy of vaccination is the data from the trials that shows a reduction in cases. This data is something anyone can understand with sufficient knowledge about probability and statistics.

Yes you have a bunch of numbers, but this doesn't tell you whether the study protocol was good, nor does it tell you about the qualitative aspects like how well the study protocol was adhered to, how tight the controls were, etc. Naturally, this is not a new problem, and we have various safeguards already in place at various levels. You also need a third party like say the FDA to audit and examine what was done.

>This data is something anyone can understand with sufficient knowledge about probability and statistics.

Yes, but that is not all. People need to understand how clinical trials are conducted, and how for e.g. efficacy numbers can't simply be used to trivially compare two vaccine candidates.
That's a strange desire because what does it matter? If you were worried, you would have gotten vaccinated, and unless you don't believe the vaccine works, you would be protected.

It's also something that is impossible to know because you don't have the right to inspect someone's medical records.

No PR and no discussion and no announcement. This will be a fun time bomb for anyone using Minio at a company where legal dislikes AGPL licenses.
At that point it pretty much amounts to "send a message in a raw IP header to the destination rather than a message in an IP+ICMP header to the source". The extra step of truncation of the original payload doesn't gain you anything except still doing more work on the router than v6 would have it do to gain a lot of pain for the upper layers/endpoint stacks all so the inner session doesn't have to resend the first part of the first packets of a conversation.

The vast majority IPv4 traffic does not have the DNF bit set. Your logic of why they would doesn't even make sense as setting DNF only means it'll drop on routers that would fragment have fragmented not improve the situation with the ones that wouldn't have.

MSS is definitely a negotiation but a negotiation just between the TCP aware nodes not along the whole IP path which is why I say endpoint stacks can use it to detect if the IP path is fragmenting by comparing incoming IP fragment sizes to the MSS.
Not really. I like asm coding but it gets tedious on large projects and I don't miss dealing with bugs that bring the whole machine down.

I think either pausing or not pausing could increase or decrease vaccine confidence.

One could imagine pausing: "oh, they are being careful, great, and NOW after looking at it, they've determined it is safe." (The pausing is actually a consequence of the sped-up approval; the sped-up approval process comes with a requirement to pay extra extra scrutiny to any side effects reported) OR "See, they admit it's not safe, they paused it!"

Same with not pausing: "See they rushed the approval, and now they are ignoring side effects" OR just nobody hears about the side effects without the publicity, or figures they must not be a big deal if they didn't even bother pausig it or whatever.

Could go either way. The difference in either case is probably determined by building up trust over time, by transparency, and by having an effective communications/education/marketing plan (specifically for communications around the side effects/pause).

In the USA, of course, we have none of that. So it was probably going to decrease confidence either way. What a country!

The reason why it doesn't exist is licensing and a bunch of regulatory processing that needs to be done to keep the license.

Lob, as a mail provider, built and licenses this from the USPS for its mail operations but is unable to sell it to customers due to licensing and regulatory issues. Similarly, SmartyStreets used to sell this service but discontinued it due to the amount of regulatory and reporting work that was required to keep the licensing rights.

> Worse still as electric vehicles become more popular the rare earth metals that seemingly remain popular within the batteries may increase in cost offsetting our future reductions.

Rare earths are only used in NiMH batteries. Some hybrids have those, but probably not this vehicle.
> I noticed that they have a large number of contributors yet seem to have no contributor agreement with ownership assignment.

I did a quick analysis of the project and there were 41 contributors in the last year that contributed more than 10 lines of code churn to go files. See the following for an analysis:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=file...

If you switch to the impacts view, you can see that of the 41 contributors, there was 1 frequent contributor, 3 occasional contributors and 37 seldom contributors.

I can't tell how many of the contributors are Minio employees, but I'm guessing in the worst case scenario, they could look at re-implementing contributions by non Minio employees, since the vast majority of code changes were by Minio employees. I know re-implementing previous contributions is a strategy that some use when they change their license, but I'm not sure how practical this is for Minio.

As a side note, do not install my tool as the docker image has expired license that I need to update.
An aside, but just recently I tried to get RTAudio off the ground for some low-latency hobby projects.

In the end I switched to PortAudio which works fine with low-latency backends.

They're perhaps downvoting because what was described was "studies" (not "the citation"), that were about credibility and uncertainly generally, and it's safe to assume they weren't conducted in the past 4 months and have nothing to do with covid vaccines, but you jump in with "well your study means nothing to me unless it was conducted in the past two months and already peer reviewed and published" which is not how it works.
If you're keeping your car for 20 years, there are at least three or four timing belt/chain replacements and a ton of maintenance if you are putting typical miles on. Plus you're always one bad part away from blowing the engine, and there's no way to stop the inevitable long term decline of engine compression and replacing your transmission/clutch.

Electric vehicles outperform ICE powered vehicles on every metric, including price. Electricity is getting cheaper and cleaner over time, and so are batteries. In 10 years today's $10k battery pack might be twice as potent and half the price. I would stick with VW or other manufacturers, as Tesla is being cheap about battery chemistry for long term performance.
Ahhh... Au contraire. The Cellebrite exploits a device for root. Technically that is sidestepping most permissions frameworks as a matter of expediency, but I assure you scanning things and being able to access them by default is not a given. Access Controls are digital fiefdoms unto the implementer's design, and if it is so that a scan should be responded to with a malicious payload, it is not at all anything more than a quirk of the configuration of that device.

If you want to start trying to project human legality into the computing world, you're going to have a really, really bad time. Human legal logic and digital logic do not at all mix.

Things get even hairier with things like a hard disk full of a nation state's classified info, where a root terminal has been left open.

The computer will not argue a lick about producing those contents, but I assure you, someone else will most vigorously object.

And by CFAA, and everything else under the sun, Law Enforcement wants extra-priviliged access reserved for themselves which no inherent property of digital logic or programming need guarantee.

Practically implementing such programs/filesystems/systems-as-a-whole is an exercise left to the reader. As is the consequences of doing so in a particularly authoritarian leaning society at the moment.

An example of complex system that laypersons might ponder themselves occasionally is car traffic.

Alas, the main obstacle is this: you actually want to teach how simple rules create a system (complex or not, doesn't matter, but a system). Well, a non-programmer has a difficulty mentally "running the instructions step by step" correctly as a CPU would do. You can give them some really simple mechanistic orders and watch them miserably fail after a few iterations; they usually anthropomorphize the entities, assigning to them intentions or emotions which by definition cannot be present.

Since they cannot approach from the side of simplicity, any complex system becomes impenetrable and they apply general heuristics to deal with that, which you would like to prevent. No idea how to help you.

I think he mentions at least one: public access of instance variables. It would probably be better in most cases (large systems) to just make them all private, if you had to choose between private or public.

Python can have its own conventions though, separate from the conventions of other languages. It just means the applications that Python is a good choice for are not exactly the same ones that Java or C# are great choices for.
Even the experts still don't know what could be causing these side effects, or why it would be similar between the two vaccines. However, when they want to investigate it, what they'll be looking at is that both the Astrozenica and J&J vaccines use adenovirus vaccine technology, and the Moderna and Pfizer do not, so there could be something in common there that leads to the side effects. I think people only have guesses they aren't super confident in as to what that could be at present.
Battery lifetimes were initially cast at 5 years and more than half the car cost to replace. They have both got cheaper to replace, and have retained value after out of the car, and have had lifetimes extended. So, your input maths needs some adjustment. Maybe not "its zero" but its not as bad as you fear.

You didn't calculate TCO for the ICE maintenance costs and you need to: EV have significantly smaller maintenance so the component of high cost in a retained old petrol engine or diesel motor, is strongly in favour of the EV. I had two clutches and a gearbox replaced across the 17 year retention of my Mazda 6 on top of the expensive six monthly motor service.

Not downvoting you, but noting, you skewed the cost exposure risks i believe, quite badly.

These would all be details of the agreement. Maybe they set up some kind of fund for these circumstances. Maybe they set some kind of rule allowing the seizing of the vessel, or who knows what.

Maybe they go the other route and use their freedom to determine who they do business with, and under what terms, to convince Egypt to sign it.

And at the end of the day, obviously this leverage is pretty bad. It seems to be just making things pretty awful for one or a few people, often from poorer nations, where there is no clear and undeniable nation responsible for their predicament. If the 'leverage' is just being left to rot at sea for years on end, is it that useful in the first place?
I think it boils down to this: It takes far more work for a generally bad person to purposely turn their life around than it takes for a generally good person to accidentally screw up badly.

A bully is always going to be a bully unless they have that elusive "come to Jesus" moment. And thereafter, it takes just as much effort to demonstrate that it even happened at all, and that it'll stick. It most often doesn't. And people that know the person in question have seen it over and over again.

"and I probably was pretty awful to this girl."

Exactly that kind of weasel wording suggests to me that this person is, as you word it, a dick. If she traumatized the other girl so badly that she would quit upon her hire, she'd totally remember why.

Unless of course she was such a "dick" to everyone that she just assumes the role without even thinking about it. In both cases, she got what she deserves. It's just pathetic whining about it now, since she made herself the "victim" through victimization of others.

She could always do what other people rejected for being useless do: move to a different place where they don't know you are like that.

Another anecdote: I took the J&J vaccine and felt shitty and tired for 4 days. I generally react this way to the flu vaccine too, so I was expecting it. I didn't experience anything else unusual, and I would still take the J&J vaccine again given the choice. I'm now completely back to normal.

Not in the "no compromise" Tesla class, no. The vehicles are too new and too in-demand and are holding their value too well in the used market to depreciate enough. That's a good thing, it means the market is growing and manufacturers have incentive to produce more cars.

You should be wary of concluding stupidity when the French population are skeptical towards government statements. It's a completely different culture to the one you're likely used to. The French frequently have legitimate distrust towards their authorities, and assume based on experience that the government is lying.

This would be a confounding effect when trying to determine whether it was the uncertainty that caused the distrust, or the source of the statement.

I love Cycles but they need to fix Eevee (still no support for particle input for instance, forced to use animation nodes for that). I never use Cycles in production because it's too slow (by design since it's PBR), unless I can't do otherwise, but in these cases I usually just bake materials in Cycles then render with Eevee.
