I got suckered by this once and only once. What seemed to be a great environment and culture on the surface, with lots of good perks, ended up being the most toxic and dysfunctional workplace I've ever been at. I was completely miserable and left in two months. I just couldn't take it. Ever since any office that tries to advertise how "awesome" they are by showing off all the trendy perks they offer immediately gets lowered in my estimation.
Or a common evil, depending on your perspective. You can't opt other people out of tracking you.
Have a physically separate network for the backups, with a data diode isolating it from production. Daily incremental backups. Weekly complete backups. If you can possibly afford it, never erase a backup.

Also, every quarter or so, schedule an outage, clone the hard drives in the servers to new drives, put the old ones in storage, and run from the clones.

If you have critical hardware that is running some old OS and can't be upgraded, put it on a physically separate network, and data diode, and push those backups out as well.

Test the hell out of those backups, restore something from them at least once a quarter, if not more often.

Start investigating capability based security and operating systems that support that model.
Natural immunity and vaccine immunity are expected to last around the same amount time. This is for the simple reason that the mechanism that generates the immunity is similar. (Natural immunity being a bit more diverse, while vaccine focuses on a single protein.)
> broad-based sales taxes

That an interesting history, thanks.

The policy sort of misses the point when you are at the till and the item doesn’t cost what you thought it did. There is no way of telling if you have been hit by a broad-based sales tax, a targeted one or both.
> spending a career at someone else's company

The nice thing about working for someone else's company is you work 40 hours, then it leaves your mind for the rest of the time. If there's some problem at work, it's usually "not in my job description." Like, printer doesn't work? Call the Department of Inhuman Resources. Not your problem.

If you work for yourself, it's 24/7. No vacations, either. All problems are your problem. Printer quit? Whatcha gonna do about it? It isn't for everyone.

As much as I'd like that to be true, I think it's impossible to separate that statement from the political pressure to motivate vaccination.

ie, if the opposite was true — vaccination did not provide the same strength of immunity as infection — no epidemiologist would ever state this publicly.

So I'll be happy if it's true, but this statement doesn't move my belief-meter one way or another.
Panpsychist and pantheist here: yes.
I hadn’t thought of that, but your totally right. In the article’s picture, one of the space craft appears to be heading off in a direction outside of the solar plane, but it’s not by a huge amount.

That’s why we need a way to create gravity artificially if we are going to do any space exploration. It would be a bit crap if we could only move in 2 dimensions.

> The consensus I’m hearing from epidemiologists is the mRNA vaccines should offer better immunity than infection

Serious question: How can we possibly know this? I'm all for vaccinations (I'm going in for my second shot this weekend), but I just worry about commentary backed by intuition that doesn't carry sufficient disclaiming.
I'm with you. I may be an introvert but I'm actually quite social. The key for me is that I'm social on my own terms. Mandatory fun events and forced team bonding do nothing but alienate me from everyone else. The harder my manager tries to force me to be friends with my colleagues the more I refuse to.

I guess I'm still confused. "Pays well" as in, pays well above average? I'm taking average to mean ~$130,000 in California / Bay Area.

So you made well above that for 9 years AND lived somewhere with a lower cost of living?

Then I could understand saving so much that you don't worry about retirement. But if you're making "good" but average salary in the bay area, and even saving a lot, you're still eating into savings to take months and years off.

Maybe an easier way to ask this is... What would you consider to be enough saved in the bank, at say, 35 years old, to take a whole year off?

The EDA vendors are pretty good about university licenses. They want the students to use their tools when they graduate.

EDA tools require a ton of multidisciplinary knowledge. A computer scientist can write a compiler. An EDA tool requires that along with EE, physics, and mathematicians.
Also it's moving from a more decentralized silo to a completely centralized one. Email continues to be a groundbreaking communication technology. I feel like one company being able to pull the plug on that might be really scary. I guess email is pretty centralized, but if you get banned by Gmail for whatever reason, you can always go run your own email and continue to work within the larger ecosystem.
No, that's the opposite of how they work.

>The digital world has evolved since 1997, and email simply hasn't kept up.

Email has its warts I'll give you that, but since 1997 the world has gotten objectively worse in terms of open, distributed messenging. Everything is a fucking walled garden controlled by some data-harvesting megacorp these days.

I like email because I can roll my own server (and have done so) or I can choose to trust one of several commercial providers and we can all interoperate.
Maybe it's better to have problems you care about. Solving problems that aren't directly related to your well-being is unnatural. That's not how humans evolved. Until fairly recently in human history, if you had a problem in your work (which was probably farming), it was a direct threat to your survival that demanded your attention. You cared deeply about it and solving it in the best way possible mattered immensely.

I'm not saying we should go back to being one problem away from death, but also solving problems that just fundamentally don't matter to us personally doesn't seem to be great either.
This is a corporate take over of the fabric of society. It's sickening that our social fabric is mediated by a giant monopoly. We need a municipal alternative.

This is promising. Anecdotally though, I know people in India who got covid (with symptoms) twice or even thrice over the last 12 months. I imagine antibody generation is different for different people, and/or response to variants of the virus is different.
I’m very surprised that “proof of immunity” isn’t an acceptable alternative to a vaccine for things like travel or work. It seems it’s either vaccine or bust. Anyone know why this is the case?
I agree it’s not the way to settle scores in today’s society (though it’s still this way in ganglands, be they mafia or LA gangs).

That said, it wasn’t an everyday thing, and given the dire consequences it wasn’t something done lightly out of the blue yonder. People knew not to offend or risk the possibility. And for the most part this was ritual for the upper classes and not for the village boors or even commoners.
I don't know how you can justifiably call Africa a has-been. Africa is by far the youngest continent in the world, with 60% of the population below 25. The median age is 19. The fertility rate is incredibly high. Most likely, Africa is the continent of the future.
I used PlatformIO once, when I was using it to run the Arduino Libraries on an MT3620 Azure Sphere board, so that I could try programming for Microsoft's IoT board series with a more familiar language. It was a bit strange and clearly unofficial, but it did work and I was able to package Arduino sketches into OTA images for the board with it, so I can't complain.

I had this exact question and asked around before finding out a friend's brother specializes in immunology. Apparently two separate exposures triggers a much longer lasting immune response, and because of the nature of the vaccine it's much more targeted to one specific aspect of the virus, and consequently more potent in a way. Moderna also made a statement that they expected their vaccine to last for 2 years based on their ability to measure the number of antibodies and its decline over time [1].

The speaker is trivially disabled, and the AirTag continues to function.

Devices like Tile do not have access to a global network of iPhones. SmartTag only works with Samsung Galaxy devices, and we've yet to see if it works beyond the current model. Apple will make this work for everything. My old iPad from 2014 still receives software updates!
So you're saying you voluntarily gave out your primary email address and then don't like that they are emailing you? Why give it out in the first place then? It's free to setup a dummy email address for these purposes.

Unless you're complaining about getting reminder emails from upcoming doctor appointments, bills and the like. But my impression was that getting those are a feature...
This was completely expected, since this is the case with the other coronaviruses. People that contracted SARS-CoV-1 still have a strong immune response almost 20 years later.
> What still worries me is that ramp up time for fabs like these are on the scale of years - if we assume a fab started right now, we'll be making semiconductors in ~2 years at the earliest (very optimistic)?

TSMC announced the Arizona fab in May of 2020. They estimate it will be at volume production by 2024. The challenge is that it's not just building the fab, but also the lead times for all of the equipment involved, getting the specialists in to install+calibrate, then doing some initial runs to work out issues before going to volume production.

Entropy isn't necessarily random. I think a better description of entropy might be unimportant states. For the rocket, we might care about the total mass and we might even care about the temperature of those bolts. Those parameters represent information.

But there's even more information in the rocket, specifically the momentum*position of each of the atoms within the bolt. That quantity for each atom is measurable/knowable and represents information.

We are based in Northern Thailand which is impacted by seasonal wildfires with very high levels of PM2.5.

AirGradient originally developed out of our desire to help our school to manage the air quality during this time of the year more effectively and to ensure that our kids breathe healthy air inside the classroom.

Most of the benefits come from our cloud platform that analyses the air quality data sent from the sensors and provides real time alerts and communication to the relevant staff (e.g. PE teachers when air quality gets worse).

It has also some unique features like integration of the school air quality policy. More information is on our website [1].

This service comes with our professional air quality monitor which has additional hardware components to achieve a very high degree of reliability.

We provide the open source version due to a desire to empower as many people as possible to measure the air quality in their environment and thus reduce their health risks due to bad air.

It also helps us to get customers onto our air monitoring platform in countries where our sensor is not available yet. A day care center in California for example build 12 DIY sensors and connected them to our platform to measure the indoor air quality in its classrooms.

Currently we have a strong focus on schools and if anyone of you has a connection to a school and is interested to learn more about how our platform could help, please get in touch with me.

Relevant sections:

> [The reason] is Congress. In 1997, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, one section of which is titled, “Prohibition on collection and release of detailed satellite imagery relating to Israel.” The amendment, known as the Kyl-Bingaman Amendment, calls for a federal agency, the NOAA’s Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs, to regulate the dissemination of zoomed-in images of Israel.

> The amendment prohibits US satellite imagery companies from selling pictures that are “more detailed or precise than satellite imagery of Israel that is available from commercial sources.”

> In practice, “commercial sources” has been interpreted to mean companies outside of the US that up until recently were not major players in the multi-billion dollar space industry.

I recall a conversation with a brilliant GI surgeon and she told me she started out as a pancreatic surgeon initially in her residency. It’s a very complex surgery and “beautiful” in her words describing the procedures. But she couldn’t stay with it and moved to GI because the pancreatic surgeon has to see so many patients die not too long after surgery.
Yes. So long as no mutation takes place on the protein spike.
Thanks so much for it though. I can say it works well for me. Made an account and sharing it with my group of friends to make some terrible beats over :)
The Fed doesn't print currency - thats Treasury, although the Fed holds and distributes it to depository institutions! They control the money supply by reducing the fractional reserve lending rate at banks (reducing supply of loans), increasing interest rates (reducing demand for loans) and unwinding their balance sheet by selling back purchased assets (largely t-bills, reducing circulating supply directly).

The money supply of centrally banked economies is mostly debt/demand driver, not supply driven. Money is created when lent, and destroyed when repaid. By tweaking parameters, the Fed is able to manage circulating supply.

It's actually a really elegant system, IMO.

Meat of it is:

> “Turns out, it is Congress. In 1997, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, one section of which is titled, “Prohibition on collection and release of detailed satellite imagery relating to Israel.”

They don't go into rationale as to why, but my guess would maybe be nuclear weapons deniability? Even if other countries have higher res imagery and it becomes common knowledge, we can officially deny it to ourselves and keep demanding others join the non-proliferation treaty in order to build nuclear power plants, etc.

If we had commercial services showing video of nuclear weapons manufacturing transport etc. they could be used in congressional hearings, if it is illegal maybe that is less likely.

However if there were a law requiring low resolution imagery of Iraq I could see someone could make the opposite argument: it was done so we can hallucinate in aluminum tubes that could surely only be for centrifuges, blurry yellow shipments of imagined urania, etc.

"Israel is widely believed to possess weapons of mass destruction, and to be one of four nuclear-armed countries not recognized as a Nuclear Weapons State by the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)."

But ideograms and pictures can be also pronounced verbally. So what the SCP does is to steal any encoded information about him?

But then it would stole every random bit because any information can be theoretically decoded as random bits!

Okay, then, we put a random text on a paper and observe if that thing steals the paper. If not, that is truly a random number that cannot be decoded in any meaningful way.

Which means we found the Chaitin's constant which could be used for solving any problem. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin%27s_constant

Thx, msg’d you on ig.
Yeah I always cringe when I see people on LinkedIn talk about burn out and depression like it's something you can decide to "get over". A few months ago, I saw one of my old co-workers post something ignorant (she's a VP?/leader) about how if something has you down, you should only be upset for a few days and move on. I think that is a very idealistic opinion that lacks nuance and appreciation for the complexity of the human psyche. It's poor form to diminish the experiences of others.
Today was the first time I asked my son (10yo) to email me something. His response was "yuk". I think that's the new generation's attitude towards email - old and dated, and that unless they need it for work, would prefer other means of communication.
