Kids are more likely to die in the car/bus on the way to school than by covid. Still it's good to get them vaccinated so they don't end up killing older people.
How many of those workers have friends and/or relatives who are part of a vulnerable demographic?
Meanwhile in more sane countries citizens choose wether to wear masks and not. We locked down early and often, so almost none died.

Anyways, studies show distance to be more preventative.

It is! You can actually unplug or take out the battery and still be able to run the system. Configurable charge limits is on our firmware roadmap, though unlikely to be available at launch time.
Not the OP, but in my experience as someone who has run a few analytics teams, you need a pretty mature data team that has eked the majority of the value of plain old BI style data visualization and boring data analysis before you need to delve into the realm of even simple undergrad level statistical techniques like regression and t-tests.

Hiring a data scientist before you have a solid data engineering pipeline is like hiring an interior decorator while you're still framing your house. Unfortunately most businesses (even highly technical ones) just don't understand the moving parts of analytics.

Yep, that is right. We're releasing reference CAD and documentation under open licenses for some modules like the Expansion Cards to enable community development.
I think if the feds offered $100 to get vaccinated that uptake would go way up.
I disagree. Competition is good.
After thinking about this, I think they’ve created a false dichotomy here. As an employee who is heavily compensated with stock, I’ve experienced “golden handcuffs,” where my annual compensation, including vesting shares, is much higher than what the company, or any other rational employer, would have paid me that year. The only way to fix this would be … to pay me less by not granting me restricted shares for so far into the future. Net-net, the enterprise will shell out less money in compensation under this plan.

I can see why companies don’t like this situation, because it’s very hard to reward performance with compensation when everyone is making far more than scale. Your best and worst performers all take home big checks. But to pitch this as an employee-friendly move is gaslighting at its worst.
the thing that scares me is that Pfizer is "only" ~75% against B.1.351. I'm not worried right now, and I've relaxed a ton since before, but I'm nervous that B.1.351 and other vaccine-resistant strains will rise to prominence once enough people are vaccinated.
Trying to live on Mars is meaningless. All effort put towards it is complete, and utter waste.

As I said in other comments, feel free to waste your resources on the project. But if you're trying to convince others that the project is useful or fruitful (and ask for other people's resources or help on the matter), then be prepared for some resistance.
Although we do think we play an integral part in the product development process, if teams switched off Ditto, they wouldn't be any worse-off than they were before. The text would still exist in their mockups, and their apps can continue to serve the structured JSONs of text that we generate. Because we aren't a CDN, they aren't dependent on us to actually serve that text.

However, we do hope to have an on-prem offering for enterprise customers in the future, especially those with tighter security constraints!
Astronomy is a somewhat weird field in this in other respects. For example, astronomers frequently consider everything that isn't helium or hydrogen a "metal."

They just have a very different take on some things, because their way of looking at the universe is different from how we look at earth.
I'm entirely dismissive of a worldview that is based on inherited guilt and various slants informed by soft sciences with known reproducibility issues.

I make no apologies for it. I will continue to assume everyone lives unique lives.
Automatically detecting prefers-color-scheme is the right thing to do in general - maybe the day theme needs some improvements (based purely on this thread).
I feel like four year stock grants, more than anything else, are responsible for the upwards wage pressure that has led to the high pay in the Silicon Valley tech scene. You come in earning $X and a few years later you’re earning $2X without needing a promotion. Now if another company wants to steal you away they have to offer starting comp to match your golden handcuffs.

Reduced golden handcuffs can only hurt the rank and file labor market. No surprise a VC is enthusiastic about it.

That might be fine up to a point, but at a certain number it becomes a really bad idea to mail cash.
There’s a reasonably famous anecdote I saw about that time on Pakistani television, from Qudratullah Shahab’s (federal civil servant at then time) autobiography. The US was sending sanitary aid to Pakistan and the East Bengalis asked for their fair share of it and were told sitting there in the federal secretariat building by the West Pakistanis “Go use a banana leaf” (to wipe your @$&!?!)
Berkley is possibly the most liberal and educated area in the USA (of significant population) so of course it will be high. In your average city, we will be EXTREMELY lucky if it reaches 65-70%, in the rural areas of the country 50% would be a win.
YESS!! Finally, an insider I know has suggested that this is some sort of a move to offer a complementary service or clean technology to take over the basic mining operation for a lot cheaper vs now. It’s the long game he’s playing in a weird way
Wow, that is way more affordable and easier than anything I found twenty years ago when I was looking! (Then again, back then things like this may very well have existed, but discovering them was a huge part of the problem.)
Perhaps a naive question but have you tried a good probiotic to rebuild your gut bacteria?
Sorry for the go-live shakiness. The website is up and running solidly now. We sent out the email to the mailing list this morning with the intent of letting folks get in and order as the news started to trickle out. In reality though, there was an immediate, massive influx of traffic (in part from HN) that brought down the website. Lessons learned for the future.

Sure. But we're discussing Elon Musk here.

The fact that he's spending resources on nominally going to Mars is completely idiotic. I've got enough of a brain to figure that out.

Its a free country. Which means I'm free to make my opinion on how others spend their money and resources.

-----------

This is relevant because of all of the highly questionable moves Musk has done in the past weeks. He pumped BTC, pumped DOGE online. He pretends that he's a busy and (Aspergers) CEO despite spending huge amounts of effort on pop culture like Rick and Morty, Saturday Night Live, and other cultural mainstays. He proposes that terraforming Mars is a fruitful endevour.

He lies about "Full Self Driving" to the public for years, even as news reports come out as people literally die and burn to death inside of the cars his companies make. He claims COVID19 is a hoax, in an effort to keep his factories open.

He publishes a Finite-Element-Analysis of Hyperloop so basic that a 1st year college student could have done it. He builds tiny tunnels without any emergency contingencies while putting highly flammable lithium Ion batteries inside of those tunnels for Las Vegas.

And then finally, we come to this topic. Where he first hypes BTC (after buying it), and then after selling a huge chunk of it (over 10% in the past quarter), seemingly moves to dump the price of BTC.

Etc. etc.

At some point, we have to recognize that this guy is not an "engineer" at all. Musk is a hypeman at best. His lack of focus (so many topics covered...) suggests mania (as opposed to Aspergers). I dunno. Its getting harder and harder to take Musk seriously on any of these issues.
Except Bitcont isn't a security, so there are no laws against "Pump and Dump" in the unregulated market.

Some would argue that Bitcoin is fundamentally a giant "Pump and Dump" anyway, so nothing to see here.
Nobody's forcing them to associate with vulnerable friends or relatives. And it's not like they don't have a choice; tech workers aren't exactly poor.
I would need more credible evidence. For example,

> https://privacy-watchdog.io/truth-about-protonmail/

Skimming through it, it displays a lot of ignorance which undermines its credibility for me, and the credibility of the other evidence. As examples, these statements seem to lack understanding of the technology:

> Protonmail even has an SSL cert for that onion address even though it’s completely unnecessary.

> Leaked documents at Wikileaks show that the CIA requires emails to be stored as an EML filetype. There are several ways to store emails, and Protonmail has selected the format that the CIA requires.

> Subject and metadata encryption are not difficult to provide.
Bulletproof vests and helmets are intended to only protect the wearer. Masks, on the other hand, are supposed to protect the wearer and the people surrounding them. It's not the same
I dunno about that question. What 'work' means has changed since we were a largely self-owned-farm-based / building-massive-infrastucture / logging-mining-natural-resources country. Today's 'work' requires a lot less calories.

But I'm sure that a lot of Americans see CEOs making 100-300 times as much as them ... look at the return on that (often questionable) investment ... and correctly conclude that they've been getting the short stick.
That's quite on-the-nose considering Cohen has said that the song was about extremism in general and terrorism specifically.

Well that depends on what dogma you choose to eat. Do you think that children are susceptible to complications from COVID? Other commenters in this thread have pointed out data that shows children have less chance of complications vs the common flu.

Since this is the dogma I choose to eat, the one supported by facts and data, I would say that it would be fine for unvaccinated 12 year olds to visit movie theaters. As long as they aren't able to spread it to vulnerable family members who are unable to get the vaccine due to medical reasons. But even then, that should be a decision the family makes. Not the government
Canada is the market that it is - it's your decision as a business to voluntarily enter that market and the GDPR has shown that regional policies like these can be sanely implemented. As someone who can see the problems this country is trying to fight through during the pandemic, I think it's reasonable to reinvest in our economy and this will, essentially, work out sort of like a tariff. It's likely the cost of consuming these services will slightly rise but in exchange we should see more money staying domestic.

And hey, politics is hard.

As an example of domestic prioritization, Canada prepaid for a whole lot of vaccines (enough for everyone to be vaccinated three times over - so six shots) but when push came to shove the US horded their supply to inoculate citizens first. I think it was a grave error for the government to turn to the private market to purchase those doses instead of investing in expanding domestic vaccine production back in April 2020 but I can't really hold it against America for ensuring the safety of their domestic population first - it's not like you're doing anything overtly malignant like marking up the prices per dose or refusing to release the vaccine globally unless folks sign on to unbalanced trade deals.

Canada controls and provides the Canadian consumer market - we value supporting local content and want to make sure our artists are able to make a living because, honestly, we really value the arts up here - whether they're the group of seven or putting together tutorials on how to make a DIY rocket in your backyard on youtube.
Being vaccinated doesn't stop an individual from spreading it. It just prevents them from being severely affected.

Vaccinations have been open to 18+ for long enough now. If you're not vaccinated at this point then you either can't be (and should be wearing a mask) or aren't concerned about COVID anyway. Considering that, what is the purpose of a vaccine passport? Who does it help?
I don't want "recommendations", whether Canadian or otherwise. I would rather decide myself which one I want. (I don't use YouTube, but it is not specific to YouTube. Still, that isn't the government's job to decide what someone else recommends; the government can recommend things but shouldn't force others to recommend or not recommend certain stuff.)

If the government wants to promote Canadian content they can find them and put them on their television channel, and then say that there are no (or lesser) taxes for watching this television channel, so that people who are interested can watch it.

The government should not control internet messages; that is up to the sender/receiver.

Such Canadian content rules should only apply to the CBC, in my opinion, not to others who are independent from the CBC.
Sure it does, in exactly the same way running crypto on Ci does too.
Instead of businesses having to verify, it would make more sense for the county or municipality to establish a policy based upon the prevailing positivity rate. If there's a low level of infection in the community, indoor masks are at the wearer's discretion, if there's a high level, indoor masks are mandatory. This would also establish a causal link between a getting vaccinated and helping to keep the community open.
The big vents about midway up the vehicle are gaseous depressurization vents for the methane and liquid oxygen tanks; the RCS (reaction control system) that's designed to provide torque has thrusters at the nose and tail (to maximize the length of the lever arm.)

The experience curve for electric motors, power electronics, and batteries is going to be extremely interesting to watch over the next decade or two. The change over the last fifteen years has been incredible already.
I guess it's that predators budget their energy usage and evaluate the risks of confrontations. A wound would probably lead to infection and death, and expending energy fighting another big predator when you could spend that energy hunting instead...

You can't say zero because there is the low but still there possibility someone will fight you over and even end up shooting you because of the impending fight. It has happened. Again it's rare but it has happened, and I would say that the risk of an argument and physical altercation over it with Trumpian qultists will increase over time.
Your first two points are basically political positions. I know it's fun to imagine that the other political side is less intelligent, but don't take that impulse too seriously.
The government seems to have no problem with utilities doing this or worse to their own customers (PG&E, Texas power grid, Flint Michigan). But I guess if they could blame a foreign power that's an opportunity for a profitable war.

Exactly the eye areas of regular humans (non-sociopaths) are very "vocal" as to emotions if you are paying attention.
Previously, it was also tightly integrated with MSSQL. I like MSSQL but it becomes prohibitively expensive once you reach a certain size.

On the side I've been building a job listing site for tech jobs in Australia with .NET core, currently it's on a $5/m Vultr instance with a postgres DB. This wouldn't have been possible to do a few years back: https://www.headhunted.com.au
> Muldoon didn’t respond to a question about why the ads were able to violate Google’s policy.

I thought it was obvious by now that Google is a money train, and no one is watching the tracks. Their main distinctions as a Fortune 500 company are avoiding human contact and abandoning projects.
Really hoping they bring back the fingerprint sensor now. I feel like a monster when I have to lower my mask to unlock my password manager.
Logseq https://github.com/logseq/logseq is also a good OSS alternative and they're also working on collaborative feature I believe.
Something I've noticed is that some people have a very emotional tie to privacy while most people don't. When my oldest daughter learned about Alexa (I think she was 13ish at the time), her response was "So it's always listening, and connected to Amazon? Who would ever want that?" While most of the rest of my family ranged from ambivalent to uncaring about the privacy issue.

It is definitely useful today as well. There is some modern work done on using variational calculus for solving real-world optimization problem.

I read it as implying Tesla intends to use BTC for outgoing payments.

Of course, that would require Tesla's vendors to start accepting BTC. I strongly suspect LG Chem and Panasonic don't accept bitcoin payments.
It's not a paradox as much as a difference between you and the public you target.

Compared to you, they don't care about tracking, don't want the hassle to set-up on-prem and don't mind or prefer videos over text.

Resilio Sync does have an iOS app. And I've used it a couple times, when I needed access to my documents while on the go.
>If idiots didn’t hoard gas, nothing would really have gone wrong.

Maybe. But, I tend to lay the blame with the foreign criminals/adversaries who attacked us rather than a panicky handful of my fellow country people.

Not sure why some here are blaming the victims while giving the criminals a pass, and even thanking them as if unsolicited, live pentesting on critical infrastructure with a side order of extortion is a good thing.
> You literally drop heavy stuff from orbit

If you literally drop something in orbit then it stays in orbit. In order to make it fall to the ground you first need to de-orbit it.
> The government seems to have no problem with utilities doing this or worse to their own customers (PG&E, Texas power grid, Flint Michigan).

The “utility" acting in Flint was state and state-imposed local government officials, 9 of whom have been criminally indicted for their role, so manifestly the government has something of a problem with it.
How the Data Annotation Service Empowers Robot in 2021? –Part2
TLDR: it didn’t work, no real clue why, more updates to come.
Depleted uranium is actually a bit disfavored since most of the harm from handling the ammunition actually falls on the military using it. You get shot with a cannon round once, but someone needed to load and carry that round for days on end - it does have some really unfortunate side effects if it remains perpetually in an environment but it isn't enriched - it's depleted and, honestly, landmines are still a thing and cause way more damage.

My understanding is that DU tends to be favored for three primary reasons(ish)

1. It's super dense and thus packs a super hard punch in terms of momentum you can slug at a distance for a given caliber barrel.

2. It's incredibly hard and can deflect things that steel can't stand a chance against.

3. That momentum from firing is often high enough that it actually ignites on impact in most circumstances, causing a lot more material damage to whatever you're shooting.

DU might honestly be phased out soon anyways - it's primary strengths are that it's wicked heavy and not stupid soft like lead, but there are some replacements out there for it and a lot of countries have signed on to banning it in warfare - just not the big ones yet.
How do you figure capacity is nothing compared to planes? The Tokaido Shinkansen carries 500,000 people per day, and it has a much higher capacity. Trains (not all of them express) leave about every 5 minutes at peak times and each one seats more than 1,000 people. People pay for the convenience even though flying is half the price and takes about the same amount of time when you factor in transit to/from airports.

I don’t get the country size argument either. Europe and China are also huge with trains stopping in small cities. At least, each coast should have a north-south line plus some truck lines to heavily populated areas.
I kind of do that sometimes with little framed vignettes leading to other memory palaces inside stations of memory palaces.
Something is seriously off with the study you cited. This image leads me to believe that the scenarios they are comparing are not remotely close in calories, which would invalidate their conclusion: https://2020science.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Diet-and-...

Additionally, the study is using the USDA guidelines in their model scenarios. Those guidelines are heavily influenced by food lobbyists and are not entirely in line with what sustainability advocates have been pushing. For example, the emissions assumptions made in that paper are assuming that the replacement calories are coming from our "traditional" food system and they are not modeling in any increase in local production. i.e. replacing a chicken breast from Iowa with a bag of Apples from Chile might indeed be a net negative in terms of emissions. But that is not what food advocates are pushing for. It is more like: replace a steak with a head of broccoli from your local CSA. That would likely be very net positive in terms of emissions.
Low priority stops it from consuming all cpu when there is contention for the cpu, but not when the pc is otherwise idle.
That's GP's point. 6 months ago it made sense for everyone to wear masks. Today it doesn't. If someone today insists that everyone should still wear masks everywhere, then they're doing so for political reasons rather than scientific ones.
