When I was young my father had a new company in a industry that was known for lawsuits. The first came came in and I looked at it and said settle. He said no F’ing way. We won. Even with winning the legal fees, the cost in manhours was more then settling. Then the next one hit. Did not settle and won……and so on. After about 3 years no more lawsuits. His reputation was never settle and the trolls moved on.

This is misleading, it conflates the presence of antibodies with immunity. There is no reason to believe immunity is not durable; a strong immune response to related coronaviruses (e.g. SARS-CoV-1) lasts decades. Antibodies are only generated in response to infections, and disappear after the infection has passed at varying rates based on a number of factors.

People have no antibodies circulating for most things they are immune to. It is expensive to produce antibodies unnecessarily.

I can't reasonably assert that one should or shouldn't.

I just answered parent's apparently rhetorical question, "Who gets hurt if I wear a mask?" Their assumption is, "Nobody," but the truth aligns more closely to, "Maybe somebody."

This isn't a calculus I've thought through in depth, but the answer is almost certainly not "nobody."

Edit: Please keep in mind this comment is made during a particularly divisive time in world history, so my answer reflects that context. I'm not being so pedantic as to suggest, "well every action may hurt somebody." Rather, the effects of the choice is uniquely amplified due to our current social strife.

It does not support [0] (i.e. loses) extended attributes even between systems that share support for them, which in the case of macOS means no support for Finder tags, custom icons, legacy Mac fonts and countless other Mac features, maybe niche to most, but still important to those that make use of them. AFAIK it is not even in the roadmap.

I spent a night looking through the radeon driver and register documentation, and it seems to fall back on sane defaults without being able to access IO space, it just prints a nasty gram. All of the expected IO space is mirrored in the MMIO space and the VBIOS code will just use that as a fallback pathway just fine.

One sort of cheap way to get a sense of what's actually going on (at least way cheaper than a PCIe protocol analyzer) might be to put your hands on one of the USB3382 cards (the poor man's PCIe protocol analyzer for those who aren't that comfortable with FPGAs). Those are really neat soft PCIe devices that bridge the PCIe transactions over USB3 to another host computer and can do things like emulate other devices or send arbitrary TLPs. There's some hacker con talks about using them to attack systems by using their DMA TLPs as a read/write primitive. Using that to either bridge to a card on the host computer and tap the PCIe bus, or send your own TLPs to verify that stuff like 64 bit transactions are actually a problem and not a red herring. You can use a FPGA for the same thing pretty easily, but a USB3382 might be a lot closer to the skill set that you feel comfortable with.
Oh, good to know.. guess I assumed that because I've heard there's more vaccines than people that want to take them in the valley that it'd be like that in most other places.
I had COVID in NYC in Feb, the only way to get a test was to claim you just flew from Wuhan. Which even if you did, I have no idea how they were setup to respond.

Everyone else in the hotel was sick, there was a tensor of coughing, all I could do was sit in my hotel room and watch politicians go back and forth about how we should all patronize stores in Chinatown and not be horrible racists.

All I can say is the is that the CDC performed extremely poorly in their response to this, over and over again. Mishandling tests, allowing the FDA to actively block testing. Even the pausing of the J&J vaccine was an extreme CYA blunder.

NASA had Challenger, NIST had Dual_EC_DRBG and the CDC had COVID. Not the same in scope, but the systemic dysfunction was similar in its structure.

This is false. We've eradicated SARS-CoV-1, for example. The last case was in 2004. And New Zealand, Australia, and Taiwan outright eliminated COVID community spread domestically (Australia did it twice!), proving it is possible.

> Take a look at the major DI frameworks for Go, Wire [0] and FX [1]

I'm well aware of them. (There are several more, too, which see at least as much use as these two, unfortunately.) They also reflect a misunderstanding of the language. Wire less so than FX. (I'm also aware Wire is written by Googlers, no need to point that out.)

> Prior to DI frameworks we used global variables, often initialized in a package's init() method.

I don't understand how these things are related. DI frameworks aren't necessary for Go-idiomatic dependency injection, and global variables were never an appropriate way to manage dependencies.

> Generally you have a few layers: gRPC/HTTP/Kafka handler, business logic, and database or external service access.

Yes!

> Layers are unit tested individually against mocks of the layers below.

Yes!

> Because you're going to inject a mock, you can't depend on a concrete type, so you depend on an interface.

Yes!

> Often when you're developing you want to know what the concrete implementation of a lower layer does, so it's useful to have "go-to-definition" see through the interface declaration to its implementations.

...no?

There are basically two situations where you use an interface in this way. One, most often, in an application where the "production" code uses one implementation, which you know a priori and therefore have no need to go spelunking. Or, two, in a library where you by definition cannot know what implementation your users will provide to you. In the first case, your mock would model the implementation, which I guess is trivial. In the second case, your mock would reflect your expectations of the interface's implementations, explicitly without knowledge of any implementation.

I thought with SARS-CoV-1, no people have it, but animals still do, and it could jump back to people from them, so it isn't considered eradicated yet.

And stopping community spread in a few countries is totally different than global eradication.
In my mind small scale aquaponics seems to have the advantage that it's not as labour intensive as small scale traditional farming (e.g. it seems to me that things like transplanting and weeding tend to be less labour intensive and you don't usually need to apply fertilizers because the fish do it for you). This is relevant because I believe that labour is a significant factor in making micro farming viable (more so than production per acre, where IMHO micro farming can hold its own).

However the above is based only on my intuition and personal experience[1], I would like to see some studies about that, does anyone know of any?

One disadvantage of aquaponics seems to be that, if you ever happen to scale up and start selling some of your produce, in some countries you can't sell it as organic - because there tends to be a requirement, across several countries, that you grow your crops in-soil for organic certification (Australia, where I live, is one of those countries, IIRC this is also the case in the EU).

To me this feels a bit unfair because typically in aquaponics you won't use many chemicals if any (either for the reasons mentioned above, or because the chemicals would harm your fish), so I think it would appeal the same type of people who buy organic food.

[1] I grew up on a medium-sized farm and as an adult I've got some limited experience in aquaponics, as a hobbyist.

"The statements of fact they release pertain to public health with no human adversarial motives."

The CDC has knowingly lied about the efficacy of masks intending to trick the public to deprive them of useful medical gear. They were slow to identify the spread of covid as aerosol based, even after it was widely known. CDC guidance focused on "6 feet apart" instead of the importance of ventilation. The CDC temporarily halted the J&J vaccine unnecessarily, wasting time and eroding trust in vaccines generally. Early in the pandemic the CDC blocked hundreds of labs from doing their own covid tests in favor of flawed CDC tests that took substantially longer - again, this was at an absolutely time critical moment in the pandemic.

I have never really paid attention to the CDC until this pandemic. Now, I feel like they constantly make huge blunders and don't really deserve much trust. Even when they aren't lying to you, as they did regarding masks, they don't seem like they really know what they're doing.

10/10 on easy and 10/10 on hard. Hard selections seem mostly hard because they are short enough you don't see gpt-2 to go off the rails with something completely nonsensical.

L6 salaries (equivalent of FB/G L5) are 20-60K lower than those at FB/G (you cap out at 160K or 175K in the bay, which is below the minimum L5 salary at FB or Google). As I understand it, the stock grants can be similar but refreshes are harder to earn than FB/G (since if the stock goes up, you simply won't get a refresh unless your performance is stellar), and you don't get annual bonuses (which are another 30-50K in comp at FB or G).

This is also complicated because the Senior title at Amazon compares to L5 or lower band L6 at G/FB. So your peak Senior at Amazon should be compared to the compensation of a middling L6, which will usually start with a 4.

Perhaps at Principal and beyond the stock grants grow quickly enough to overcome the deficit, I honestly don't know. But I know they don't at Senior.

Still, this might lead to their first solid security hire that can bring about change in the form of zero-trust principles, security in depth, etc.

> to have any chance of stopping a targeted state actor.

Given unlimited resources, interest and budget, no participant in the modern digital landscape has a significant chance of stopping motivated threat actors.

> The fact they caved so quickly tells me they are years away from a reasonable security posture.

Yes, obviously, but driving change is about incrementally tending to a desired state. Your fatalism is, quite frankly, unnecessary, not that you're not entitled to your opinion, just that disagreeing with GP or stating they are naive because this won't bring about perfect, all-encompassing change is not useful.
I don't see how that's an argument against anti-price gouging laws though. It's not like price gouging solves that problem. Fundamentally a shortage is just never going to give perfect results.

Even simplistic rationing is at least relatively fair and can ensure at least a base level of availability. For the major necessities this can be pretty reasonably accounted for to ensure nobody suffers from some extreme deprivation.

It also lets you at least put some somewhat predictable cap on how fast resources are going out. Allowing price gouging doesn't let you predict much of anything, and I'm not sure it even slows the outflow given the uncertainty of these situations.
If going out means the hassle of wearing a mask, staying distanced, and all the other rules, then, yes.

Put another way, if going out feels like a big hassle, and getting vaccinated doesn’t remove enough of the rules to make going out NOT feel like a hassle, then there’s no reason to change one’s “going out” habits. And if there’s no incentive to change one’s “going out” habits, then there’s no reason to go through any process or procedure that only perceivably benefits you if you leave home.

I will be getting my vaccine soon myself.

But the world has changed. If I was isolated and nervous to “put myself out there” pre-pandemic, then I’m nearly agoraphobic now.

Nobody I work with wants to return to the office, nobody wants to return to having fun outings (at least not outside their own social circle).

There’s literally nothing for me to return to doing. I’ve built up a relatively solitary life with my dad in the last 12+ months, and everything outside of it is gone.

If you feel that you have so much to return to that the idea of rarely going out, forever, sounds unrealistic, then I would
consider yourself lucky.

I intend to get vaccinated just to be safe to anyone I might come in contact with, but to your point, even once I get vaccinated, I honestly see no trigger to change my behavior. I highly doubt I’m alone in this.

I thought developing these mantal maps was fairly common? Or maybe it's just me.
Yea, it seems like a pretty novel situation where I'm almost happy that these gangs are walking through these companies' unlocked front doors and causing enough havoc to be noticed but not enough to hurt them beyond repair. If it becomes enough of an infectious cesspool with diseases that can't be slept off to the point that these sloppy companies are forced to wear hazmat suits to exist in the environment, maybe that isn't such a bad thing in the long run. Before that tipping point, hopefully we don't just breed a large quantity of super bug diseases/ransomware gangs that laugh at decent security.
I personally follow the CDC guidelines. I think if everyone equally trusted CDC we wouldn't have the kind of outbreaks that we have seen in the past year. So raising doubts in CDC's credibility overall is hurtful IMO. That doesn't mean we shouldn't debate a particular recommendation and take it all as Gospel. Meaningful debate about a particular issue is useful. A general statement against credibility of CDC IMO is not.

I maybe a minority here though, because I also to a large degree trust other American institutions. And that's coming from an immigrant who grew up in a country where the population is bombarded with anti-American conspiracy theories on a daily basis. The reason that I believe in American institutions is not because I take their words as Gospel. But because I believe for the most part trusting them leads to better results than the other way around.
Americans are very patriotic. Singing the national anthem and waving the flag is second nature.
I don't think a conspiracy is needed: every opportunity to show how great America is will be used.

Not blackballing is different than compulsory hiring.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that private companies aren’t allowed to decide. I think the argument is that companies shouldn’t decide to block based on the types of comments made by this person.

Similarly if I say “eating a galling of ice cream is bad” it’s incorrect to think I’m arguing that people shouldn’t be allowed to choose to eat a gallon of ice cream. My hypothetical is meant to say that people should be smart enough to do the right thing, not that they should be forced to eat or not eat ice cream
> On the contrary, Mars has all the resources of asteroids but the advantage of a water cycle that has concentrated and reformed minerals like on Earth.

The water cycle concentrates diffuse elements into usable mineral deposits, yes. But those elements are only diffuse in the first place because of the planetary environment. The base abundance of industrially useful elements in asteroids can be tens, hundreds, or thousands of times higher than Earth (or Mars) precisely because these materials sank to the core or mantle of planets, or get chemically locked up in expensive to refine oxides. Indeed many of the rare metals we prize are actually of asteroidal origin, because they have been completely depleted in the Earth's crust in geologic antiquity.

What's more, chondritic or M-class asteroids typically have extremely accessible minerals, such as pure metals already in reduced form, or mixtures of loosely compacted minerals that can be sorted with a crusher and a centrifuge.

Interesting, I was just going to ask
I don't blame the professionals for getting things wrong on this.

My personal feeling is that it was hard to know if masks worked for the general populace before Covid-19.

There are so many confounding variables that it very difficult to study masks from a public health side.

The best approximation was studies of health professionals in hospitals or clinics which doesn't exactly translate for a multitude of reasons.
