I am not familiar with Australia's response enough to give a conjecture on how good its policy is. Although I am familiar with Canada's response and (independently of death toll) think it was very suboptimal.

>I certainly don't think it is only policy diffferences.

And I agree with you, which is why I think using death toll as a single metric is a bad idea.

EDIT:

>If we had Canada's per capita rate, 400k fewer people would have died.

Even with the same policy as Canada, it is unlikely that the death toll would just transpose (it's a bad assumption, because policy doesn't define the death toll - it affects it)

Well, yeah that's on me, because that's not my intent nor my point.

The California lege's default position is, when in doubt, pass a law - some are good, well crafted, and effective. Many are not. This is the scattershot I mentioned. There, however is a lot of legislative 'noise' to the signal of the effective laws. That's all my point was.
The feature downgrades of 'bnet 2.0' or whatever they called it that they announced when Starcraft 2 came out was the beginning of the end. SC2 as a game was fine (not amazing for me but plenty liked it) but everything around it was a mess. D3 solidified this trend of them losing the plot.

Hi, I just took a look at Flayyer and am a little confused. Is Flayyer an app that developers can use locally for free and Flayyer.com is the hosted version for everyone else?

At first glance, it looks like a Canva for social sharing cards, but then as I scroll down it looks very developer focused with the React/Vue templating. I guess I'm having trouble understanding what the main proposition is. Is it primarily a consumer facing app or a tool for developers, both? Either way it looks super useful. Awesome work!
Yeah, it's a bit like trying to buy a watch that get advertised in magazines and billboards but impossible to buy at the jewellery store. Thanks Rolex.

Sometimes its difficult to part with your money
> It is not financing if you have to continue payments after covering the full cost.

You don't have to continue payments, they offer a buyout plan for $99 after three years. (They also offer the buyout up front plan.)

BTW, jeez, I realize I seriously sound like an ad for the company just because I'm trying to help explain the flood of misinformation in this comment section. I ride motorcycles, but I have no affiliation, and I like the idea of an airbag vest and I like the idea of being more easily able to afford to try safety gear... even if it's more expensive in the long run. (Like everyone, I generally dislike rent, subscriptions, and financing plans, but I do have to acknowledge the utility.)

> It’a a strange pay-for-non-existent-service scheme designed to artificially reduce MSRP but increase lifetime value.

That seems accurate, except that it's not at all strange, it's utterly commonplace. Like millions and millions of people, I have a mortgage and a car payment and a credit card. Most of the money I spend would be reduced if I were to pay up-front.

> It’s disgusting

I'm very confused about this part, I don't understand why that feeling is so strong in this thread. KLIM's financing plan is better than most, just be open to reconsidering your idea here. You can cancel without notice, and you get to keep the vest. You can pick up where you left off and continue paying later. You can pay only in the summer when you're riding. Those consumer friendly options aren't available on any mortgage or car plan or credit card anywhere.
There's individual data, too. [1] There's a lot of data coming out about this and it's pretty much a trade-off. You get more people some level of immunity, reducing spread, and you improve the quality of the immunity with a delayed dose vs. immediate turn.

The results of this primary analysis of two doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 were consistent with those seen in the interim analysis of the trials and confirm that the vaccine is efficacious, with results varying by dose interval in exploratory analyses. A 3-month dose interval might have advantages over a programme with a short dose interval for roll-out of a pandemic vaccine to protect the largest number of individuals in the population as early as possible when supplies are scarce, while also improving protection after receiving a second dose.

There's a lot of work going on now to study this, and the results coming out are all pointing at this being a pretty good path forward.

I think any glance at the legislative records of any session will prove this.
Sure, the 'ill-considered' part is highly subjective, but I am not the only one that has that opinion, and that's my point - the people who would oppose a government regulating stuff points to California rightly or wrongly as a bad model because of high volume of relatively ineffective lawmaking.

Diablo 3 was garbage. They stopped development of HotS because it wasn't pulling LoL or DotA numbers and Overwatch while overall fun feels slightly off (for me it's the sluggish movement from lack of running..). Activision Blizzard can fall off a cliff for all I care. They were a company that literally put out hit after hit for years and now they are in slow death spiral.
I remember enjoying SupCom back in the day. I find it interesting that it still seems to have a small but loyal following thanks to ongoing, fan-driven development like Forged Alliance Forever. I can't imagine it's making anyone much money any more, but the game was good enough to build an enduring bubble around it.
At the end of the day I'd like to see the data.

Somewhat related: There was a recent episode in This American Life that showed how struggling minority students actually became above average or near the top in subjects like calculus when forced to sit in classes for "advanced" students as opposed to "remedial" classes.

A number of universities (including some well known ones) have tried this - some for many years - so the data is out there. At least those universities showed that pushing struggling students even more than what you have in a typical course led to better outcomes than the remedial courses.

Different scenario than this submission, but it highlights the need to throw intuition away and focus on whether there is any data to support this.
True, but the optics aren’t good.
Not trying to pick on you here but I bet you would also do well in the garden directly, without the need for a bin, bought worms or doing it indoors. I guess that's more of a 'how to do composting if you don't actually have a garden' technique.

Not sure what conventional composting is, if not 'throw it all onto a pile and let it do its thing' ;) That's how my parents and all our neighbors did it too.

I definitely don't bother with ratios. I only learned about those very recently actually. As mentioned, it sometimes gets hot, sometimes it doesn't. When it does I guess I got the right ratio by 'accident' .

As in, in fall there's a lot of brown matter added from the leaves, in winter it eventually freezes (but I keep piling on the green matter from all the bananas, oranges, potato peels etc.) while most of the immediately 'active' green matter is added during spring and summer and it eventually reaches the perfect ratio as I keep turning the pile and I get periods of 'hot composting'. The worms probably don't like it at all when it starts smoking lol.

In between I bet most of the work is done by the worms that naturally occur in the soil and love feasting on all this organic matter. Naturally occurring fungi will also help I bet. We get lots of different kinds of mushrooms in the lawn at different times of the year.

Am I the only person who really liked Diablo 3? I introduced my wife to it as her first game in the genre, and we’ve spent a lot of hours making team runs through hard dungeons. For sheer “let’s kill 300 things at once” endorphin hits, it’s great.

That's precisely what this is though? Do keep in mind that the for land tax proposals suggest it replace at least a portion of income tax.

> upon me selling that land to someone else. Just like capital gains on equities.

But with your equities investments you don't get any personal gain until you sell. When you hold land, you're benefiting from it the whole time. We're not talking about only the financial benefits from value appreciation, but rather in the main the benefits that you get from society from having the land.
> They’re testing new multi-purpose offices and private workspaces, and working with teams to develop advanced video technology that creates greater equity between employees in the office and those joining virtually.

It just doesn't work when half of the team can walk by each other's desk, do some impromptu planning, and the other half are spread out across the world effectively uninvolved in these conversations. Nobody wants to go through the trouble of setting up a zoom for the 2 min conversation you have about a thing, or nobody is going to loop in a remote colleague when the team has lunch or coffee together.

You either choose to be fully digital, and make digital communication the way work gets done, or you harm people out of the office. Maybe Google will make a miracle happen, but I've never seen "hybrid" work as optimal as either fully in office, or fully remote.

Downloading it via youtube-dl for the highest quality version also results in a file that at first glance has many freezes in the video stream, when played in VLC. But I think there's nothing wrong with the youtube stream. The freezes were in the downlink from SN15 to the ground.

If you go to 9:37 in the video, you can see that the overlaid text timestamp in the spacex stream continues to increment (3:06, 3:07, 3:08, etc). It actually is a video that plays normally. Their ground based equipment that was adding the framing and T+ overlay was working normally and sending out a normal stream, it was just receiving frozen video on its input side.

Meaning that they were feeding normally formatted video to youtube at that time.

What i got from youtube-dl looks like the following:

Because the safe thing is to not do something unnecessarily dangerous in the first place. You don't secure your core system by being very careful with your backdoor access -- you secure it by not introducing a backdoor in the first place.

A critical safety device should have absolutely no way to be disabled, intended or not, without severe intervention or total and complete failure of the device.

They've introduced greater potential for absolute disaster in their edge cases. And more likely than not, very little has to go wrong for a user to end up dead.

Also of note: why is the battery LED on the back of the suit? If the battery dies mid-route (or a bug disables the vest), there's no way to tell? They don't note any audio cues.
I would also add that 60% coming back doesn't necessarily mean those people prefer working in office full stop. It could be partly that, partly people enjoy flexibility but are tired of the monotony of home, or other factors.

Ask that same 60% if they wanted a month of work from home pre-COVID and I'd bet on at least 33% saying yes, if not more.

>Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends

I'm not completely sure that a web developer doing typical frontend work would consider "being in the same company as people building rockets" to be exciting enough to justify the extended hours and weekends thing. For a mechanical engineer getting to practice the pinnacle of mechanical engineering? Yeah, I get it. For react work? Maybe not so much.
I would like to see the analysis for rich parents that have adopted children.
Nature, nurture, resources and culture all play a role and all four flow from parents to children to varying degrees.
So you acknowledge that if everyone acted like you, it would destroy most of the sites we use every day?
This is fairly obvious. Live in a household where education is valued, go to a school with good education, surround yourself with kids who also value education. Of course your likelihood for earning better than average will go up. If you grow up in a household where education is not valued, then you will most likely not be able to succeed as easily. Is this somehow controversial?

My parents grew up poor in a war-torn country. They left the country as soon as they could. However, they concentrated on education, and left on scholarships. My family lived a very middle class life but much better than anything my parents lived in. They had the exact same focus on education for me and my siblings. They sacrificed everything for our education. I went to a public school but I studied harder and worked harder than most of my friends, and I'm now a single-digit millionaire, which isn't very much in Silicon Valley but good enough for me. I'm currently retired at this point while I take care of my kids and my wife works because she wants to. My children will get the same focus on education and hard work, the way I did. My family went from poor to rich in a single generation.

Our cleaner is an illegal immigrant from Central America. Her daughter was born in the US and is going to a very prestigious private high school in the Bay Area and has plans of going to Yale. I know she will do it. They are also going from poor to rich in a single generation.

Generational mobility from poor to rich is easily possible, but you can only do it through hard work and education.

Mediafire is still alive and I think it's the last hold out from the "big" file sharing websites of the mid/late 2000s. Though honestly I don't miss the download limits, timers and adf ly spam that came with them. Common cloud storage (gdrive, dropbox) are much easier to use and share files from, although they require you to be logged in. Send seems to be the best of both world though.
The IP address shown was an multicast address, which provide a crucial hint as to their setup. Most likely after downlink from Starship the camera feeds are distributed from the test site through their network using UDP multicast, probably without any transcoding and resizing, only remuxed. This allows the feeds to be available to mission control, engineering, employees, etc with minimal delay. Then a separate system, possibly not even at the test site, receives that stream, transcodes/resizes it and feeds it into the mixing and streaming setup. This last part is probably want they use VLC for and what generated the overlay we saw.

The engineer at SpaceX responsible for running the webcasts actually used to be active on r/SpaceX, and has shared some details about how they ran it all.
> The economy vs economy aspect was not recognized by anyone until the 1930s as far as I can tell.

In addition to my other comment, this is also totally wrong. Both Civilian and military leaders were very much thinking about this.

Many thinkers were actually obsessed with the question of total war. Some thought that it was so absurd that nobody sane would ever fight it,
