There actually is a follow-up to this story that confirms that this person has not overcome her strong tendency to bully, her narcissism and her fixation on the victim: https://www.askamanager.org/2017/12/update-i-didnt-get-a-job...

She rather pities herself at length than putting some effort into admitting and reflecting on the wrongdoings. Similarly to the ‚probably was awful to her’ in the first letter, her fallout (obviously retraumatising the victim at her anniversary) which got her thrown out of a restaurant and blacklisted in the industry gets a short sentence worth of description.

I hope for the victim that she could avoid that person.

That's an entertining soundbite, but other health complications nonwithstanding, the risk of dying from Covid for a healthy 25-year old is approximately 1:500,000.

It's an individual decision, and although there are many factors both individual and societal, it's counterproductive to yell (or jokingly imply, as Munroe did in your link) "antivaxxer!!" whenever someone has some concern.

Many European health authorities have e.g. concluded that the risk of death from the AstraZeneca vaccine is greater than the risk of Covid infection in young people. Unless one assumes that these health authorities are wrong, this would indeed be an example where a time-limited amount of caution wasn't obviously irrational.

Was it a black swan event that one of the ~7 vaccines that passed clinical trials turned out to fail the risk/benefit ratio in some regions? No, that's probably to be expected with the probabilities involved.

We can still have confidence both in vaccines and health authorities after such an event, my point is that saying "you're stupid" in intellectual-ese is rarely the most productive response. Not everyone who has some concern is a rabid conspiracy theorist.
Thanks for the specific criteria, that makes sense. I’m imagining a line sweeping around a point on the computer screen and trying to see it without the jaggies/stairsteps; I’m so used to blocky lines it’s a difficult exercise.
Ed...Ward....
His open letter to the WHO: https://37b32f5a-6ed9-4d6d-b3e1-5ec648ad9ed9.filesusr.com/ug...

The gist: Mass infection prevention and mass vaccination with leaky Covid-19 vaccines in the midst of the pandemic can only breed highly infectious variants

Even if you could technically meet the legal requirements (which I'm pretty sure you couldn't), it'd be impossible to mass manufacture and completely undesirable to consumers. Imagine having to change out the paper rolls/ink in your analog EDR every couple hours, while making sure the battery doesn't explode every time you charge or discharge it. The dashboard alone would be a sight to behold.

Honestly, it'd be fun to see how far you could get. Backup fiberscopes vs cameras?
Completely unreadable on mobile, with text and images mixed together.

I love pet theories so I hate to disagree. I've personally said the word "Legos" about 1M times in my life and it's mostly because Legos always come in groups, groups with a lot of items. You have to have a plural word to refer to them.

Also (child of the 70s) I am certain that I was calling mine Legos before I even knew about Eggo waffles. Third - boy I'm really piling on, sorry - I don't think I've ever referred to multiple Eggo waffles as "Eggos", probably because there's already "waffles" for that.
Maybe, but archive.org has listed this exemption on their website for years as their rationale for being able to distribute ROMs for dead consoles and it has totally remained unchallenged AFAICT.

Copyright enforcement seems often "use it or lose it"

SPAM didn't act fast enough to protect their brand, and once it became commonplace as a term for internet garbage it was considered too late to enforce.

Unless someone like Nintendo makes a new Super Nintendo that can play original cartridges, I don't expect they would do well in court trying to enforce given the exemption and after doing nothing for so long at this point.

I study IP law academically but IANAL. With that said, I think we are honestly at a free for all at this point, and the more people that host ROMs openly, the worse the case against them gets.
one approach: if license expires old buyers still should be able to watch that movie and license expiration could be applied only on new sales.

on the other hand, apple is well educated how industry works and they are well aware that purchase is not full ownership of copy so you could interpret it as intentional attempt to mislead customers.
Best HIPAA-compliant issue tracker?
It's me again. The pariah of software users. The guy that has to comply with US HIPAA. In case someone posts PHI in a bug report.

I used to use JIRA, but since they ended their on-prem offering (well, technically, increased the price to $50,000), that's not a viable option.

So....what other options?

* Issue tracker
* HIPAA compliant
* Supports agile sprints
* Integrates with Gitlab

A lot of companies I've worked for had a blanket ban on AGPL. This is not a problem with the license, it's a problem with those companies. But it's still going to be a pain for the people who work there.

Most EV initiaties have failed, so those failures don't say a whole lot.

> this idea seems correlated with people who don't have actual experience with EV ownership. It's a solution to a non-problem for the average driver

Or there are lots of people it would be a problem for, and so they don't buy EVs. Unless you start handing out EVs at random it's hard to see how much the causality flows in each direction.

I was under the impression adenovirus based vaccines are worse in the long run because the adenovirus acts as a vehicle for the proteins we're immunizing against (coivd) and that immunity can also occur against the adenovirus rendering it useless as a vehicle for proteins in the future.
This is a meaningless statement. It pretty much makes the idea of "coercion" impossible.

"The mugger didn't force you give him your money. You could have chosen to say no. You being killed is just you not being free of the consequences of your choice".

Imposing consequences on people is coercing them to make the choice you want them to. None of the consequences mentioned are natural consequences, like getting sick from the disease, but additional consequences someone decided on.

From the recent supreme court decision on oracle/google:

> "those 11,500 lines, however, are only 0.4 percent of the entire API at issue, which consists of 2.85 million total lines. In considering "the amount and substantiality of the portion used" in this case, the 11,500 lines of code should be viewed as one small part of the considerably greater whole...

Andy Warhol museum's lawyers are making a PR play maybe. I don't think they're going to get very far in court with it, I don't see much similarity, just starting there.

[Also, yes, let's talk about the fact that the Supreme Court is still confused about what "API" means, calling the entire Java codebase "the API". That whole case was a mess of mistaken conceptual understanding of what software and APIs are and how they work. But anyway.]

I understand what you're saying, and I agree. But if we only tried things that were known to be the most efficient we'd never make progress. Negative results are also progress. I'm glad there is research into all angles of the energy space, we have an incredible need for green energy if we're going to move forward without destroying our planet.
No. What I’m saying is I don’t even know what I’ve copyrighted as I never received any notification from YouTube about any strikes.
I have the same issue with freezing regularly. Using emacs aarch64 build and clang from llvm sources ( or OS X native clang, either one ) compiling in emacs window (Mx compile) and it will stop, hang for about 10 seconds, and then reboot. Rosetta isn’t in this chain. Haven’t looked to find why yet, but task switch to Apple news while I’m waiting and I can see the build in emacs halt for a while. Task switch works after a while, but sometimes it doesn’t and a watchdog kicks in it seems.
I’ve done qualification on hpe and various competing vendors and honestly haven’t seen dramatic differences in terms of performance and failure rates. From my experience the biggest difference was with vendor support services rather than the actual hardware. I’d be curious to hear more about your qualification experience with this particular vendor if you’d be willing.
Unfortunately the header is misleading. The FAQ says:

Q: Can I export data from AWS with Snowmobile?

Snowmobile does not support data export. It is designed to let you quickly, easily, and more securely migrate exabytes of data to AWS. When you need to export data from AWS, you can use AWS Snowball Edge to quickly export up to 100TB per appliance and run multiple export jobs in parallel as necessary

But it does imply DMCA can't be used to go after people that do.

DMCA is the only tool people that wish to stop distribution of media have, so it might as well be a blanket statement of legal distribution IMO, and archive.org certainly interprets it this way.
Those who advocate for such policies are the true racists. Their argument is that poor academic performance is a function of race, rather than a result of poverty. They are giving up on the kids who need help the most.
"I know you didn’t solicit an update, but I felt compelled to send one."

That introduction should surprise no one. The rest is exactly the cliché crocodile's sob story to be expected. She hasn't changed at all, and apparently everyone except her are wrong on this. She is obsessively compelled to make sure you treat her as the center of attention here.

"Not being able to make friends sucked"

That should cause her to reflect, because her problem stems from sabotaging anything that might make her likable. She whined endlessly about everything except the subject at hand. Her boyfriend obviously thinks very little of her. She can't get to work on time and simply doesn't show up. She provides so many reasons to run for the door when she's around.

I sure wouldn't hire her. For her sake, I hope that's a pseudonym.

"I ended up yelling/crying at her that she’d ruined my life."

So sad. Who's life are we on about again?
If the page is temporarily redirecting, that's already being experienced?

Also, the status quo is that history is polluted by bad behaviour and (or including) non-HTTP redirects. Excluding HTTP redirects from history does nothing to fix that, just makes it worse really: I don't think misbehaving sites doing things that shouldn't be in history are bothering with 302s.
>I think that's probably wrong? The most likely outcome would be that after the initial pandemic subsided (with lots of deaths), most people would catch it when they were reasonably young and then be mostly protected.

Then why hasn't that happened with malaria?
HotChocolate: Open-source GraphQL server for .NET
Google's has free IMAP/POP/SMTP service but there daily email limit is 100/day.

ProtonMail dosn't have any free IMAP/POP/SMTP services and there daily email limit is 150/day.

So if you don't have many subscribers you should be fine. But you might be better off hosting your own small email server. You'll have much more control over your emails. Good job coding "nwsl" in python, but you can code even lighter version with simple bash script.
An interesting side point is that the founder of Minio was also the founder of Gluster, which was also briefly AGPL (just before the Red Hat acquisition IIRC). I think it makes even more sense for Minio, as an install is more likely to be made directly accessible to users. AFAIK nobody ever did that with Gluster - I used to be a maintainer BTW, and thus know a bunch of people who followed AB to Minio - because it would have been insane.
A lot of these people live paycheck to paycheck because they throw a large chunk of it at an oversized car loan.

It's not realistic nowadays to expect a carmaker to sell vehicles that don't depend upon silicon. Ironically, it's not the complex chips that are the issue. It's the little basic ones that have been around for years. Hall effect sensors and things like that. Perhaps nobody ever thought they could be jolted by abnormal market behavior.

Not to mention that prettyuch all the major automakers have laid out a timeline for some or all of their product lines to go electric. Not sure how you would build an electric vehicle without semiconductors.
The fact that posters have to engage with a contradictory post instead of just downvoting it as on reddit has always been the strongest suit of 4chan. It's a great foil to the tiresome hivemind-eyness and tendency for only 'approved' opinions to be allowed to flourish on reddit.

> Could someone help me understand cost metrics behind building/selling a quality office chair? There's no high-tech parts, are there manufacturers in the U.S.?

A seven year warranty doesn't hurt (though only 3 years for the arm rests). That's $130/year, or $11/mo. Though I'm sure it'll last longer than that.

An HM Aeron is $1400 with a 12 year warranty, which works out roughly the same annually.

Having a comfortable chair (like having a comfortable mattress or shoes) can have positive health effects—or at least having crappy items can have the opposite effect.

I had an Aeron at a job I worked at for ten years, and it was comfortable and was in as good condition on the day I left as the day I arrived at the company, so I was okay with spending that kind of money when it came time to purchase a new chair for my home computer desk because I knew it'd serve me well.

The main thing I find lacking with it is the lack of a headrest.

I sit a lot (too much probably), and so wanted something that worked well for me. Other people may have different budgets and different values/priorities.
Malaria does not spread from human to human, you need infected mosquitos in the mix. So you would need to get a breeding population of infected mosquitos biting humans for it to start spreading.
[disclaimer: while I have some small experience putting things in DC, including big GPU servers, I have never been anywhere near that scale, certainly not storage]

10k $ is for a server with no hard drive. W/ 12 Gb disks, and with enough RAM, we're talking closer to 40-50k$ per server. Let's say for simplicity you're going to need to buy 15 of those, and let's say you only need to replace 2 of them per year. You need 25 over five years, that's already ~ 750k $ over 5 years.

And then you need to factor in the network equipment, the hosting in a colocation space, and if storage is your core value, you need to think about disaster recovery.

You will need at least 2 people full time on this, in the US that means minimum 2x 150k$ of costs per year: over 5 years, that's 1.5m$. If you use software-defined storage, that's likely gonna cost you much more because of the skill demand.

Altogether that's all gonna cost you much more than 500k$ over 5 years. I would say you would need at least 5x to 10x this.

you're right of course, this entire thread seems like trumps "both sides" thing.

the video has some merit, but one of the mistakes in the video (in my opinion) is telling us to "politely explain our side", but I've had much more success being deeply curious about the other side and its been very enlightening.

Four Untapped Growth Channels for SaaS
As the title say here's 4 untapped channels for growing your SaaS business:

1- Cross-promotion: Reach out to other SaaS companies with mid to large email lists or social following, work together on a cross-promotion strategy. Few have done it but It's an incredible strategy. (There is a tool to do this with other SaaS businesses at saascompanions.com)

2- Job posting: Yep, jon posting is an effective strategy to create hype around your product, you can also use it to chat with your prospects while skipping the sales process (If you know what I mean)

3- Competitor flirting: Got competitors with larger audiences? Don't try to avoid them, gently provoke them in social media, they will be forced to react and it will create a sense of reciprocity for people that are considering the same solution.

4- Database exchange: I have participated in the exchange of +20k contacts between two major retailtech startups, both have gained MM$ after this simple operation. It's not that easy because there is some technical and legal considerations, But once done properly It's powerful. (People are doing it successfully on saascompanions.com (check sales booster section)

Thank you.

Ps: I'm the founder of saascompanions.com .. join us if you want to grow your SaaS with incredible founders like you.
Ah fair enough.
> From the FDA: "Out of every 10,000 women taking birth control pills, 3 to 9 of them will develop a blood clot".

> That is about 100x greater than clotting from AstraZeneca Vaccine, and 10's of millions of American women are taking it daily. Now that's context.

More context: the vaccine clots have been in the brain, birth control clots tend to occur in the legs (and rarely in the lungs). You can use heparin to treat the latter, but heparin could make the brain clot from the vaccine worse. I’m no medical professional, so I’ll let this article do the heavy lifting: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/23/fac...

Despite that, the odds seem to favor using the J&J vaccine based on numbers. The reported clot cases and total vaccines are 6 in 6.7 million with 1 death. If those odds are extrapolated, this means approximately 1150 people would die if everyone on earth received the J&J vaccine, and 6600 would have blood clots.

All of the cases were in women of roughly child-bearing age, give them an option/priority for the mRNA vaccines, see if clots occur in other demographic groups.

I had the J&J shot, and would do so again.
WhatsApp ran on bare metal in SoftLayer prior to (and well after) being acquired by FB.

This bullshit conspiracy theory should die already.

George Floyd had less fentanyl in his system at time of death than over 75% of the people that the police examined during routine DUI cases taken when were alive and not dead due to fentanyl overdose.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/16/fact...

Those parroting the fentanyl conspiracy theory are desperately grasping at straws to try to justify their irrational beliefs.
