> This decade it'll go negative. The exodus - a desperate flight from California's particularly horrible governments and epic mismanagement - will get worse yet, not better.

"You can tell that the government has failed and nobody wants to live their by the fact that it's too expensive" doesn't really add up to me...

Texas cities have lots of empty surrounding land to sprawl into further, which massively helps with supply and prices. This is not some magic feat of government. They're less dense, not more dense.
Must be nice to be so rich that you can choose to pay more for things.
I can find you 15 fanhouse creator tweets that are suggestive in nature. They get around the PG-13 requirement by calling it “lewd”. Do you want 13 year olds to buy lewds? Lol def not PG-13 whatever they claim. And from personal experience a creator who has offered to let me buy her nudes on fanhouse’s pay to view. I too can claim something is SFW.
Let's be real. The loser here is middle managers. Not all of them. Just the ones who feed off of the high they get from having control over the office environment.
It's not entirely the same. The Pfizer, Moderna and J&J (and Novavax) vaccines adjusted the protein to present a more consistent target than the viral spikes:

Yeah, I used to do this to NFS-export a root filesystem for my diskless Sun-3. The NFS server was running Linux and the Sun was running IIRC NetBSD, so some of the device numbers in the Sun's /dev needed to be different. Pretty rickety setup but it worked okay. I don't recall ever accidentally overwriting my root filesystem or hanging up the modem line by accessing the bogus device nodes.

No, they are not. That was what the whole Hey debacle was about. Netflix and Spotify have special privileges there.
Esperantists have tried, creating a pale imitation of the real thing, as if culture were something you could bootstrap by mixing the right ingredients as you would some sort of cake.
I do soft real-time in .NET5 without any problems.

I find that if I completely abduct a high-priority thread and never yield back to the OS, things on the critical execution path run incredibly smoothly. I am able to execute a custom high precision timer in one of these loops while experiencing less than a microsecond of jitter. Granted, it will light up an entire core to 100% the whole time the app is running. But, in today's world of 256+ core 1U servers, I think this is a fantastic price to pay for the performance you get as a result. Not yielding keeps your cache very toasty.

Avoiding any allocation is also super important. In .NET, anything touching gen2 or LOH is death sentence. You probably don't even want stuff making it into gen1. Structs and streams are your friends for this adventure.

Speaking of lorem ipsum, there's a scene of The Expanse that's meant to convey the busyness of the ship traffic around them.

When I paused and zoomed in, I expected to find that some studio graphic designer put Edward Tufte-like levels of planning into a high quality, high volume display of realtime objects in this universe.

Instead, it turned out to be a looped display of ADS-B aircraft tracks around some busy tourist airport which to your point, adds to the visual complexity.

I need to lower my expectations.
Yet Russia is the largest oil supplier to the US
>There are also some interesting anecdotal cases of people who claim to have found regimens of essential oils, which when consumed at the right schedule saturate liver enzymes to the extent that otherwise inert substances can produce recreationally psychoactive effects.

Are essential oils literally oils? Because I doubt they can have a metabolic effect due to their size and lipophilicity. My main concern is adsorption. But if they're small and greasy, then they may be promiscuous binders.

Or do the essential oils carry other molecules along?

Edit: I see now that individual oils carry many diverse constituents, including some small-to-medium sized lads. That's a pretty interesting shotgun strategy for controlling your metabolism, lol.
Yeah because housing hasn't crashed (yet). Also Alberta is feeling economic pain only in comparison to the crazy boom years prior. It is still literally the highest GDP/capita of any province, its unemployment rate ranks it 5th amongst Canadian provinces, its government is still the least indebted on a per-capita basis of any province, it has the highest labor force participation rate of any province, etc, etc. The fact that Alberta is still paying federal transfer payments to the rest of Canada should be sufficient shorthand to convince you that the economy is not as dire as you would think when viewing it from the outside.

No, they don't. The lipid nanoparticles they use seem to have an adjuvant effect, but they are also directly functional, and there's not anything else in the mRNA vaccines.
the problem with live covid as the antigenic character is of course the mortality, and the morbidity risk.

there is also the instability of the spike protien in its natural form. when spike is cloven at it cleavage site it changes conformation, thus there are two faces available to the immune system; the default state, the cloven prefusion state. This makes a Naturally aquired immunity biased toward opsonizing antbodies.

the vaccine version of spike has been stabilized so as to remain in the default state resulting in a bias toward neutralizing antibodies.

so neutralizing antibodies bind to the viral spike at locations that interfere with receptor docking thus ideally preventing viral entry, while the immune system operates upon the many other viral epitopes, to produce a variant array of antibodies. This gives Tcell based [longterm] immunity.

the naturally aquired immunity involves Tcell activity upon infection, but that is the risk, as virus is capable of entering the cells before immune system begins to work against it.

this is why boosting is required beyond initial vaccine dose.

and this is why i believe it would be a good idea to take a vaccine along with naturally aquired immunity due to recovery, and you can have the best of both worlds, while not relying solely on naturally based immunity.
That's possible in the USA also, you just have to do that at the State and Local levels (which are comparable in population and ideological homogeneity with El Salvador anyway).

The USA isn't a unitary state, so it won't move as quickly as unitary states. It's a federal state that shares sovereignty with its constituent States, and the Federal government is necessarily slower than the State and local governments.

This is true of all federations, including Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Argentina, and Mexico.
Surely some enterprising state AG or class action attorneys could take this up, no?

Good question. I think part of the joy is exploration, actually. I recall looking through some spoiler-files in the 90s - but I recommend just diving in. There should be some rudimentary help in-game (bound to "?" I think?).

If you don't have a num-pad you might want "rogue" keybindings - and remember to wear/wield armor and weapons, bring food (and eat it) and a source of light...
I agree with your point about the differentiation being vague and the fact that apple should be more clear.

Also apple does disallow porn. And fanhouse also says no porn but every fanhouse creator’s marketing is around suggestive pics. They get around it by calling it “lewd” instead of nude and the app literally has a pay to view picture functionality which some creators use for NSFW stuff. I wonder when Stripe will catch on to this. Basically marketing != what’s happening.

I presume he's referring to repeatedly exhaling and inhaling a tiny amount to keep circulating smoke in the lungs without losing any to the air. Can't speak for its effectiveness.
What about throwing as much money as it takes to not only build new towns with dense housing in places where those towns don't already exist, but to make those new places to live much more desirable than a pre-planned new development normally would be? I imagine the political will isn't there. The answer to me would be an ultimatum. Either yes in your backyard, or a tax is levied for a new development that won't be total crap.
French writing is quite phonetic and regular, but there's an extra layer of etymological orthography which confuses people who need to learned digraphs and trigraphs. But English has them too, and there's much more irregular.
I do agree, ultimately it comes down to a few factors: inclination and time being chief among them. Does tinkering in Emacs actually save me time or is it something I am doing because I like doing it. There is a non-trivial cost to living in the Emacs ecosystem.

That’s why I caveated things. I have used Emacs a long, long time and I still do, but I have simplified my setup and backed off of it for many editing chores.

I don’t think the utility is there for someone to spend the man hours customizing an editing environment for say Python dev when something like Pycharm exists, for example. Even vscode with a few extensions is very powerful and reaching IDE levels of capability.

Emacs and living in its lisp machine is amazing and Zen and something I leveraged when I enjoyed the whole process. These days I simply don’t have time :)
the twitter thread/verge article are about how this is not true for fanhouse, at the very least.
This is the real reason. Notice that there’s no real 4chan app on the App Store, even though it has both SFW and NSFW boards, just like Reddit. Apple will bend their own rules depending on who they’re applying them to, they have zero integrity.
> No, they wouldn't.

I don't know why you think that. If someone developed a compelling new mobile platform that supported side-loading apps why wouldn't you move to it since that's what you value?

> Apple uses their hardware market dominance

It's dominant because it's good. Part of the reason it's good is because it's locked down. If it wasn't locked down it wouldn't be as good. The Android experience is miserable because they aren't as locked down.

> extracts rent from people who want to sell software on their hardware

I don't know what to say apart from this seems the most honest and reasonable thing in the world to me. They provide a service with legitimate value and ask people to pay for access to it.

Some of the most useful fundamental functionality doesn't work either, running windows 10, you can't filter in task manager. It irks me to no end that this isn't possible. Try finding a misbehaving program on windows, you need third party tools to get anywhere.
It is coercion. People have been coerced at every step of this crisis, by the threat of police violence, by the threat of reputation or job loss, by the the threat of fines and more.

Hopefully, like we see with the wuhan lab theory suppression, as time goes on, a lot of what people suffered will come to light, and be contrasted by the benefit of the elite and political class during all this.
> That's why one must always advocate for the position purely and without compromise.

If that is your perspective then don't expect anyone to compromise with you in return.

You drive away both the opposition, as well as people in the middle, like myself, with policy positions like the one you are giving.

You could not hope to convince much of anyone in the middle, if you are unwilling to recognize opposing arguments, or address points of criticism.

If you won't budge an inch, then you should expect to lose to status quo bias, from people who would just choose to do nothing, instead of taking on an extreme position.
Another word of caution. The Kelly Criterion depends on each event being independent. Lets say I'm told to allocate 50% to QQQ and 50% to SPY. Those may independently be correct, but since the NASDAQ and S&P are highly correlated, this wouldn't be the correct allocation. You've essentially allocated 100% of your portfolio to one probability, rather than 50% to two independent probabilities.

This is an obvious example. But really all stocks (or at least sectors) are correlated just like this. So other examples wouldn't be so obvious.
You don't think Apple has technical challenges in their software? That's really interesting to hear. I worked on software there for five years and it was some of the most interesting work I've been a part of. What do you consider impressive in software?

Certificates from AWS Certificate Manager are part of the roach motel though - AWS orchestrates the issuance and holds the private keys so you can only use them via AWS services.
Supply and demand. I think of demand as people looking to live in homes, not investors. If that was the case, demand should have dropped off a cliff after covid when they closed the borders. Our countries have negative birth rates. Immigration is the only source of new people. So you must have come to the conclusion at this point that the demand is purely investment driven via speculation. Now see a problem with just building more houses? They will just keep driving speculation until it all collapses leaving us with many many homes that will be wayyyy too cheap. And it will collapse, investors are purely just trading with themselves at this point as less and less people are participating in the market.
Yeah for you yes, for others it's synonym with colonialism, and armed invasion.
I don’t have a solution for the species constantly borrowing from the future. The bill comes due eventually. If you think being poor sucks now, wait for water shortages and crop failures. I get it, everyone wants the benefits without the costs. But there are costs.

Obligatory “we should have carbon taxes and cap and trade to help make the transition fair and equitable”. I’m aware the wealthy are culpable for higher per capita CO2 emissions, and as such they should bear a greater burden in this regard. Life ain’t fair unfortunately.
Why not tax the pipeline to simulate that cost increase? Isn't that the best of all worlds?
That's encouraging! I got COVID a few months ago and got vaccinated recently, seems like I should be unstoppable now.

> Since this is an engineering forum, though, the idea that a norm may represent a well-established consensus should be readily apparent.

So which view is the 'well-established consensus'? In the last election for instance the population was split nearly down the middle on the 'well-established consensus'.

> Yes, because that's where people are relying not only on noise but on outright disinformation most right now along the political spectrum.

This seems bit naive. The statement at the beginning of the document is simply a vail the author is using in order to proceed with a reprogramming plan for republicans and conservatives.

"How do you know a politician is lying, [their] mouth is moving."

We just had a full year of misinformation from all directions. To single one group out is disingenuous at best. ( Recent news is proving this to be very true ).

The nation is split ideologically. How do you create a way to have conversations which lead to understanding? That is the real question that needs to be asked.

I love OSS. I just think it should come with a cap. If a single stakeholder (shareholder, employee, bondholder, etc) is worth $1B USD or more, the license is $1m[0] a year. That way we all get to have fun, but the megagiants like Amazon actually have to pay something back to projects like Postgres. We'll get better security and a naturally progressive, opt-in tax on the largest of companies and investors.

[0] Or whatever, if it's a small library maybe $50k or maybe something that scales with market cap, etc. Throw lawyers at it.
At least when it comes to BC and Ontario we've got some insanely high margin businesses kicking around now in the form of tech companies and banking and investment - I am quite skeptical of your assessment that these industries would fail to carry the homesteading supplements and, honestly, I'm not really certain how much sense those supplements continue to make. I don't know if they're significantly impacting Canada's ability to project territorial claims at this point - most border issues outside of underwater resources and transportation control (i.e. the northwest passage for shipping) seem pretty well settled. Does supporting population living in such inhospitable areas really make economic sense to Canada?

For non-Canadians, if you live in certain economic development zones the Canadian government effectively pays you a bunch of money annually (Northern Residents Deduction) to just keep living there. We just saw how vulnerable these communities are to natural disasters like a pandemic - they also often suffer food security problems during blizzards and rail outages[1]. If there's an economic reason to support communities up there I'm all for it, but I really don't see why we want to go out of our way to subsidize that life choice.

Also specifically on the topic of BC real-estate-as-a-service - it's pretty fucking insane and I have no idea why this market is sustaining itself at this point, we're all due for a shock one of these days that will hurt really bad. That said - BC's economy is still only ~20% driven by the real estate market and, if we saw a price drop, we'd likely see a lot more labour market accessibility go along with it.

As I mentioned, there is no guarantee any site is going to never allow use of that phone, once it's on file, to bypass authentication. Even if they don't right now. So adding a phone to an account increases your risk in a way you can't control. The only guaranteed way to avoid it is to never have a phone# on file.
Why would Bezos finance a 500M yacht with his net worth?
I've only seen it get worse, and I don't expect that to change.

One of my apps where I spend money on a regular basis (always similar small amounts, always from the same phone, usually from the same IP) constantly triggers 2FA via my banking app. Even as an informed customer, I have no idea whether to blame that app, their payment gateway, Visa/Mastercard, or my bank (that issued the credit card) for that bullshit.

The previous situation (banks absorb the fraud) seemed much better for me as the customer, and banks stuck with it. PSD2 made it so that customers can't pick their bank based on which is more convenient, by making them all at least roughly equally inconvenient. Few people will bother to change banks over this, and even fewer banks will feel enough pressure to actually improve.
Could be - but the case I remember reading about involved hospitalisation.

Remember that immunisation makes antibodies but only provides something like 50-95% protection (depending on the vaccine) - it's not surprising that actually catching it does the same thing
The text of the permit included a clause that said it could be revoked solely at the discretion of the president. So all it takes is the president deciding to revoke it.

I'm kind of fascinated that people see such a breezy permit as an important factor in the decision to build something or not. Of course they need the permit to construct the border facility, but they aren't going to make the investment decision just based on the existence of the permit.
I trust them more than I trusted Clark, but that's not saying much.
What impact would that have on the merits of the text?
