It's interesting to compare this to something like Circles UBI... they're very similar in some ways, except in Circles everyone's personal currency is given equal value, enforced by a social web of trust kinda thing.

You aren't really pinned to the version of Prometheus the library depends on. Minimal Version Selection[0] means if you specify a newer minimal required version of Prometheus in your go.mod that is the version that will be used.

Its slightly annoying that your dependencies' optional dependencies pollute your go.sum, but it really doesn't matter. If those don't show up in your package import graph they won't be included in your builds.

Not when they just really want to get a chance to try pit maneuver. I knew some kids in high school. Always talking about "getting to shoot someone". 2 became cops, 1 joined the army. They all "got" to shoot people. My brother was a state trooper, he quit because of the consistent eagerness of other officers to escalate to maximum permissible violence.

Do you step out of your house at all? Because if so, you could be hit by a bus. It's statistically possible, right? Best not do anything if you aren't able to understand relative odds.

It lowers risk. Just like you do when you put on a seatbelt in your car.
The only outstanding FDA approval is around the length of protection. The CDC has said that the covid vaccines are safe and effective. Worldwide, there are 900 million datapoints that say that the vaccines are safe. It will be safe for you and your family.

[Discloure: I work at Plaid]

Teller is a much smaller company and operates mostly in Europe, whereas Plaid is much bigger and operates mostly in the US, so this is really an apples and oranges comparison, especially as the ecosystem of connecting to financial institutions is so different across Europe vs. the US. Europe is heavily regulated and provides more standard ways of obtaining data from financial institutions, the US has much less in that regard.

The Teller team as you allude to is proud of their use of reverse-engineered APIs, although IMO this is still relying on undocumented behavior that can change at any time, is subject to being blocked by banks, etc. Basically, it works until it doesn't.

Plaid has committed to moving 75% of traffic to officially supported APIs by the end of 2021. Plaid hasn't said which banks they support via official API versus which ones they support by other means, although there are a few banks/banking platforms that have announced that they connect to Plaid via API, including Jack Henry (supports over 350 institutions), Bank of America, Capital One, US Bank, and Wells Fargo. (Plaid has also created an open API standard for institutions to use, Plaid Exchange, but hasn't published a list of exactly who's on it aside from Jack Henry.)

Plaid supports around 11,500 supported institutions and the list can be found by creating a developer account and logging in to the dashboard.

Plaid, as a bigger company, offers many features and APIs, as well as SDK and client library support for a number of different platforms and languages.

Plaid currently offers a three-nines overall uptime SLA, but things like robustness and performance are going to vary hugely based on your use case and are super hard to talk about in general terms.

Anyway, if you’re considering Plaid for an app you’re building and have any questions, I’d be happy to chat offline (@Plaiddev is a good way to get in touch if you use Twitter).

At first glance that plot made me curious, but if you look at the raw data in the pdf, you can clearly see that whoever made the plot was trying to scare people.

They correctly plotted the total lipid concentration for a lot of things, including the ovaries (which stand out on the plot) but completely ignored the injection site (which might be reasonable, but gives a sense of scale), the adrenal glands (which have around the same content as the ovaries), liver (roughly double ), the spleen (a bit more than double).

I'm having a difficult time taking these omissions as anything other than an attempt to spread fear. As a non-expert in biology it seems reasonable that a lot of an injection into my body should ultimately end up in my liver and spleen. The attempt to obscure this probably-natural result (and instead focus on ovaries) is strange.
So, you're still a risk.
We Should Look for Star-Sized Supercomputers to Find Aliens
We know flying is 'not safe' yet we still fly, we know cars are 'not safe' we still drive.

In raw numbers, the vaccines are many times safer than flying or driving, yet there still remains this irrational response to the vaccine.

In reality, people scared of the vaccine should really be more concerned about the many other things found in their day to day life that have a better chance of killing them.

Where "required signup" may simply mean missing the tiny checked-by-default "don't not subscribe me" checkbox.

I have zero sympathy for complaints about marking "legitimate" newsletters as spam, when many of their ideas of "signed up" involve not unchecking a checkbox during a transaction. If you can't get someone to knowingly and enthusiastically agree to receive your newsletter, without any kind of subterfuge or dark pattern, it deserves to get marked as spam and end up in people's spam folders.
Yeah - I got the vaccine and my sides effect after the 2nd dose were too much .. lasted about a week. I am not anti vaxer but I'm going to think hard before I take it again.

I doubt that. The point is that 20 hrs a week * 100% ~= 40 hrs a week * 50%. And most people top out at a few hours of productivity a day.

Beyond that, we solve that problem with government regulation. If companies really need to run 24/5 they can just go to 6 shifts instead of 3.

But Haskell vs most others, it’s faster and compiles down to a binary executable.

F# runs on .NET and is comparable to Haskell but not AOT.
Those are quite some assumptions you make there.

> zero tax and society would fall apart because of it

How do you know this? Society is a very general concept, why would it fall apart just because of different economics? Instead of taxes, the government could just print more money, or we could completely change the government so it works on donations instead of taxes. It is hard to predict what would happen, society falling apart is one of them, but not the only one. Structural change of society does not mean it has to fall apart.
Google measures intern productivity each year and this year remote has been within the amount of typical variation.
Abortion is murder. It's an individual's choice to take the life of another. It has a direct and immediate consequence unlike the theoretical consequence of not taking the Covid vaccine. At any rate, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you are someone who advocates for abortion then you abdicate your moral standing on getting vaccinated.

And I would say 1 million murdered babies every year has a much more profound impact on our society and civilization than some people getting sick.

I'm reminded of the joke "If Microsoft Made Cars" from the 90s.

And 25 years later here we are...

' For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.

For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."
'
This person worked in a care setting. It's like a bus driver refusing to install seatbelts, and driving kids around all day. Sure, seatbelts don't protect you 100% from dying in a fiery car crash, but they reduce the risk, the same way the vaccines reduce the risk of transmission.

If someone wants to drive without a seatbelt, or ride a motorcycle without a helmet, that's on them, though I feel for the people having to clean up brains from the pavement. But when you're a carer you absolutely do have an obligation to reduce risk for your wards.

Not OP but the chance of hospitalization in that age bracket is about 0.2% [0] There appears to be at least a 20% chance that post-vaccine someone of that age will feel rough enough to take medication [1].

People who are currently healthy choosing to avoid the risk of immediate short-term pain when presented with a small, remote gain seems like classic prospect theory!

> knowing that if anything happens I can jump back in an instant

That’s the unfortunate part.

WFH at large can only sustain if that hard line is drawn - end work day for good, disconnect, connect back tomorrow morning!

No fluid working hours and being ready to “jump back in”.
This is magical thinking.

Compilation doesn't magically eliminate Haskell treating all lists as linked lists. It's an inherent aspect of the language.
That's the kind of usage that only happens because it's available. No matter what internal information is presented to people, some will find a way of using that. But part of designing software is to curate what information to show the user, not dump an arbitrary pile of cryptic internal details on them.

URLs are mostly not fit for human consumption and don't even reliably show you what page you're on. They're a stinky skidmark on the otherwise human-accessible web.

I hope we can eventually have two clearly distinct parts to URLS - a simple domain name without www. or https:// and clearly separate, a human-readable name for the page without internal implementation details like filename extensions and symbols. Some sites are pretty close to this, New York Times is easily understandable but still filled with slashes and a redundant extension. Eg: "nytimes.com/2021/06/10/us/politics/justice-department-leaks-trump-administration.html". Hacker News is too but has a human-unfriendly "item?id=" before the (good, imo) incrementing decimal integer, not hex, not random, not padded ID number.
if you’re prone to stress while driving a machine that can potentially kill you, that’s a sign you are aware of your predicament
This is pure gold for fresher developers, and something of which more experienced devs could use a reminder.

Every fad and every champion of every technique or framework has something to teach you, and they are often very happy to teach it to you at the wrong time. Trying to please everyone at the start of the project is tantamount to design by committee, and is a sure way to kill a project.

To a hammer, everything looks like nails.

Well written.
I understand the long terms effects of death.
I did actually. That line you quoted was what they (and most all of us would expect).

The data didn't prove it out though, they report this in their analysis: "We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility"

Does that ever happen on YouTube? One reason I prefer YouTube premium to Spotify: I can always rely on someone else (other than artist) to have uploaded any song in existence to YouTube.
In Germany Fraunhofer (publically funded research institute), who is best know for their MP3 patent, also is engaged in many dubious patent pools with aggressive third parties. Generally I would support the idea of creating pools among universities and research institution if they establish strong underlying ethical principles. Otherwise those patents just go to other trolls... (The few patents I created are also imho mostly useful as counting patents or for trolling like so many CS related patents)

Pointless meetings have multiplied for me in the remote world as they are no longer constrained by conference rooms. Also since it’s so much easier to get away with multitasking, you have engineers who are ostensibly in meetings all day still checking in code like everything’s fine.

I think the ability to maintain a convincing presence in all-day Zoom while still getting your work done is the new meta-game for engineering. And I hate it.

Don't you realize you are quoting the hypotheses or just the preamble?

Read the conclusion, what their study actually found: "We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility"
And that needs

1. Understanding colleagues

2. Sane boss and sane company

3. Similar culture - company wide

Otherwise you’re just buying another recipe for stress and in some cases confrontations as well.
I'm not offended by it, but as a 41 year old, it was (and continues to be) pretty obvious to me that risking covid infection was a lot more dangerous than the vaccines.

The risk from infection isn't super high for me, but the risk from the vaccines is considerably lower, even with the relative lack of long term information (I got my first shot in late March, when there was roughly 10 months of data from the first rounds of the trials).
That may not be necessary, depending on how everything works. When I use a v2 of a Go library, it doesn’t prevent me from also using v1 somewhere else in the same project.
