Messi can teach the ones who teach football. Not the best example. He was doing unbelievable things when he was a literal teenager. A surprisingly better example would be Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo was absolutley frustrating to watch in his early career. It was someone trying hard to do flashy moves without any end product. He needed guidance, rules and structures. He also slowly transitioned from Winger to Forward/Striker. He is immensly talented, but no bigger talent than top talents in every era. Messi is on a different level. He is an all time great. Cristiano achieved what messi achieved because Cristiano is disciplined in a way that noone before is. The guy is 36 now and just topped goal charts in Italy.

Yes.. I had a 1986 BMW that had central locking, electric windows, radio, power steering, cruise control and a thermostat (which, as OP said, mechanical anyway).

No microcontroller on that car[1]; it was a very reliable car too (bought it with 50000km, sold it with 270000km and only ever did services. Nothing broke in that time).

Bosch k-jetronic fuel injection, no microcontroller needed.
That's fair. I can see the benefits in most of the things you listed. Chances are, this boils down to whether you regard your car as sort-of an extension to your home. I don't, so I'm perfectly happy to have _a_ car available to me at a moment's notice. I understand that many people do, and they'll prefer being able to own a car and really make it their own. The whole car sharing thing is also predicated on good availability of cars near where you need them. It works great for me, in an urban setting; it would be wholly useless if I lived somewhere out in the sticks.

The point I want to make: SaaS, RegArb and the sharing economy are different things. If VW tries to charge you per-hour to use the software installed on your car, then let's talk about abusive software licensing. If Uber skirts regulations to muscle into the transportation market, let's frame the discussion around employment law and transport regulations. RegArb startups make it a habit of framing their business model as something else; and we're all better off if we don't fall for that trap :)

I got $FIRSTNAME.$LASTNAME@gmail.com, but lost that account (because teenager).
Then I got the domain for $FIRSTNAME-$LASTNAME.$MYTLD, which has served me pretty well.

Two years ago I got $LASTNAME.earth (I have a 4 letter last name). This works really well spoken, for $FIRSTNAME@$LASTNAME.earth.

So according to the article this would result in a score of 2 for:

What Linus writes is accurate, you may have misunderstood him. A dose of mRNA is transported to a few cells, and these cells temporarily gets the command to create spike proteins. These proteins will be transported outside your body and be recognized by the immune system. There is no need to constantly create them as the immune system can learn from this alone.

And it is temporary because mRNA is constantly degrading — it is a must otherwise a cell would have no way to stop manufacturing a protein after giving out a command.
This is why you have those annoying kind of rules like "only 8 people allowed in this room". And then of course that gets ignored because 15 people easily fit inside. All fine until you find out there aren't enough breathing/floating/rescue kind of things for more than 8 people.
I don’t think the article alleges that ICE cars will disappear overnight. It merely claims that electric car growth will put pressure on petrol stations, forcing them to close which in turn further incentivises people to switch to electric. Seems fairly logical.

All these things take time to happen and hopefully things will change for the better; cleaner electricity, battery tech cleaner, more sustainable. The alternative is new ICE cars which cannot be better.
What about Fonts and CSS, will that too be proxied and auto downloaded? if not then Substack, etc will start using that to track open-rates.
Tech Lead vs. Engineering Manager
> I would frequently get a warning from the software that my face was not in view... because I was working on my paper.

From the linked article:

> “I got flagged quite a few times for moving, or taking a second and looking away while thinking,” says Olivia Eskritt, a second-year student at St. Clair College....

I was talking with someone on Zoom the other day, and I noticed that she would generally look at the camera while listening to me but often look away while talking. I know that she wasn’t reading something or looking at somebody else in the room; she was just concentrating on what she said, and it was easier for her to do so when she wasn’t looking at my face on the screen.

I’ve never analyzed videos of myself talking, but I suspect that my eyes also tend to wander when I’m thinking hard about something. I can’t imagine having to try to control the direction my gaze when taking a test.

> If this prediction is correct it is a death sentence for many of the 8,380 petrol stations in the UK.

Not really. You'll need many fast charging sites because EVs charge slower than ICE cars re-fuel. Even the Hyundai Ioniq 5 still takes 18 minutes to go from 10 to 80% state of charge.

The petrol station model can still work. Circle K is doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TVohXHjLro

Gridserve is doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoN4WCpuxHY

BP is doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaSRn6hYOwc

Shell is doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nst2RGtgzfk

Repsol is doing it: https://insideevs.com/news/375020/repsol-most-powerful-charg...

Total is doing it: https://www.electrive.com/2021/05/03/charge4europe-and-total...

It's true that you'll also have fast and slow chargers in parking lots in urban areas. But it's also true that some sites that previously couldn't offer petrol re-fueling can now become more like petrol stations by offering EV charging, like 7-Eleven is doing in North America: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/7-11-charging-station-ev-...

-Except, of course, when your name is packed with weird (to the receiver) letter combinations.

Being Norwegian and working with foreign clients 99% of the time, I at some point started collecting misspellings of my name; I gave up after having collected more than 40 unique ones.

At a former employer, we solved this by creating aliases made up by our employee # - so I was 698@$COMPANY, for instance.

It sure beat spelling out my name for the umpteenth time over a poor satellite phone connection.
+1 this is so cool
Yeah it reveals the structs and general logic to talk to the server and allows shimmed clients to be written for it.
The claim in the article is made out of thin air. It is correct that fewer cars will need fossil fuels, but electric cars also need High Power Chargers when driving long distance.

In Norway, with EV's accounting for about 50% of new car sales, chargers are popping up everywhere. Some are located at parking spots and outside of shops.

But where are most of the chargers located? At petrol stations.
Is the privacy of many more important than the life of few?

Wow, this behavior seems perfect for sneakily verifying that an email was received. And the user can't do anything against it. It's not a perfect replacement for tracking pixels, though, if you want to figure out whether an email was opened. Creepy.
> What happens if the host reveals the prize? Is the game repeated?

Maybe. Maybe you insta-lose. Maybe you insta-win. It doesn't matter. (But by definition if the host picks a door at random, there is a possibility that they will pick the door with the prize behind it, so something must happen in that case).

> I'm saying as long as he doesn't accidentally open the prize door, it doesn't matter.

But that's false. If the host picked the door to reveal at random then your chance is 1/2 if you switch and 1/2 if you keep your original door. The 1/3-2/3 case only happens if the host deliberately picked a door that didn't have the prize.
So according to the article this would result in a score of 2 for:
- non common TLD
- unknown email hoster (myself)
Even if the approval process were neglected (which is not the case, as other comments said), it would not make sense to refuse to get it.

The choice we have to make is trade a certainty of mass-deaths (either we continue destroying the economy (and many people die) or we let the virus spread (and many people die too)) for a tiny probability of bad side effects for a minority of people.

I can't see any logic under which it makes sense to refuse the vaccine.
Which may be because you simply can't do everything good without practice and in pure math, well, there are things you don't do as much. When I go back to the 3rd and 4th degree polynoms we solved back in school, it's a hassle. Back then I was quite good at solving them but nowadays it just takes time to get accustomed to these kind of problems.
> How many false positives will it give? If there are 100 false positives to one true positive, then the signal will be drowned out in the noise.

On the other hand the consequences of a false positive are much smaller than those of a false negative. Inconvenience vs serious health problems or death.
> I don't understand how the imprints on websites help with scams. Could you elaborate?

In imprints there's an address that you can lookup on the Handelsregister. If the HRB matches, and the Handelsregister's Domain for the company matches, too... it's usually an indicator that the website is trustworthy (at least from a legal sue-able-in-case-of-fraud standpoint).

Example (never used the website before):

- https://www.deerberg.de/service/impressum

- Northdata.de entry checks out (public webservice of Handelsregister entries), with same domain(s)

- unternehmen24.info checks out (another public webservice of Handelsregister entries), with same domain(s)

- HRB checks out, it's in Lueneburg

- DNS records and whois point out it's locally hosted in Lueneburg, too.

- Googled Umsatzsteuer-ID, no other (unrelated, scammy looking domain) results

- Googled HRB, checks out as well

- Google Business Page on Google Maps checks out as well (which might be hijacked, so not trustworthy as indicator alone)

- Geschaeftsfuehrer check out as well

So yeah, I guess this page/company is legit. You could do this further with LinkedIn and other things like looking up phone numbers in Breaches/Leaks and match the records with the Handelsregister.

From an automation perspective this is still a lot of manual research that's necessary; and I guess that this is kind of the real issue at hand - that most people are too lazy to do this sort of background check before they buy something online.

But I guess depending on the financial value you're willing to spend some background check beforehand makes more sense if a fraud would financially burden your means of survival afterwards.
I got an email address that I thought was really clever, but it's somewhat hard to read.

$FirstName$L@stName.eu

People are a bit flummoxed at first, but then it clicks. The jury is still out on it.

Meanwhile my $FirstName.$LastName@gmail.com gets a lot of emails that were meant for other people with the same name, so I guess some level of obscurity is not inherently bad when you have a fairly common name.
Haha, when I was younger, I had wolfr@m-hempel.de (my name is Wolfram Hempel). I felt pretty clever, but it turns out "It's wolfram minus hempel dot d e with the a in Wolfram as at" confused the hell out of people :-)

This article seems rather poor quality and devoid of much content. It reads like an infomercial script. The use of the first- and second-person gives it a real amateur vibe, and at times the tone approaches condescending.

A few example paragraphs:

> Electricity, by contrast, is pretty much everywhere already. Where's your car now? Do you think it might be near an electricity cable? Exactly.

> And you don't need to be Thomas Edison to work that out.

> In fact, free charging is likely to become like free Wi-Fi, a little bribe to lure you into the shop.
The virus didn't go through the approval process either. We already know it has serious side-effects. It's self-replicating and able to spread to others. It probably wouldn't even pass animal testing.

The fact that something is not yet fully approved doesn't mean it's harmful. It also depends on what other vaccines are available. You can have a fully approved vaccine that is more harmful than the newer much better vaccine which is still in the process of being approved (but which is already looking extremely promising). The harm could be in the red tape.

I was really surprised how expensive basic food is in New York compared to UK[0]. Things like fruit, veg, cheese, cereal were more than twice the price. The only things that were cheaper were hotdogs and hotdogs buns. Eating out is very expensive in scandinavia but I don’t think supermarket food is expensive compared to the US.

RISC-V is no where near overtaking x86 and most likely never will.

RISC-V’s opportunity lies in the US China tech war, if it is to break out of just being used in small specialized devices, and it is curious what Intel sees as its role there.
It basically matches Apple now. Im thinking it’s based on internal surveys (you do one every day when you log in, and there have been a lot of questions about remote work) and real estate costs - can accommodate more people with hot desking if two orgs don’t overlap their 2 wfh days.

Trust is a desparate last resort measure. Avoid it if you can.
Risk reward ratio is not a decision, it’s an objective measure. It’s a different question what and how can be forced on people, but the issue is clear: healthy people should get vaccinated.
I would suggest pre-defined staged rollout based on customer preference.
For example, create three category Alpha, Beta, Stable.

Alpha: Gets new features immediately and gets support within 24hours if something breaks.

Beta: Gets new features Every 45 week, and gets priority support if needed.

Stable: Gets new features quarterly, Mostly they are forced to upgrade from old features which you dont want to support, But they will be essential volume of your revenue.

alternatively, you can give them sandboxed demo read-only(resets every night at 12 o'clock) account for testing.

Most content is being produced by end users that are paid nothing. In the early says of the internet, when there was no advertising, there was plenty of content. But what made the internet truly exciting was not the "content" but the potential ability to communicate and share with people anywhere in the world without expensive telephone calls or slow postal service. Think of the internet not as a "destination" but as a medium. It is a way to reach someone, like a telephone line, but with much greater capabilities. (Originally, that is how we accessed it, over telephone lines.) The internet is not a collection of popular websites run by companies that spy on you for the purposes of online advertising. They are just middlemen exploiting that desire of users to connect with each other. They sit in the middle and spy on everything. The internet is a medium, not a collection of middlemen. When you remove the ads, the "business model" of the middlmen disappears, and the incentive for spying is reduced.
Does anyone actually send links like that? Any competent programmer will make the link expire on an interaction, not on load - there are some many things that could cause a link to receive a GET request, but where the use wouldn't actually be able to interact with the page.
It's also excessively common for a teacher with twenty to forty students to more or less expect kids to all learn the same way, pick it up from the book and written exercises, and not really need an explanation.

> Alzheimer’s sounds like a good candidate, or near-fatal diseases (6-month-to-live cancer) - you literally have nothing to lose!

But others have a lot to lose. No matter how experimental the application and how much consent and oversight - if the drug is being used on people before finishing all testing and without taking all necessary precautions, you increase the risk of side or adverse effects. That in turn will likely delay the approval of the drug for all patients.

So in the end, a couple of people get experimental treatment but might delay the treatment for a large group of people. That's no easy trade-off, and is certainly not a sign for a broken system.

Hm, that's a good one, I'm struggling to explain it to myself now!

My first thought is area, if you imagine four quadrants, draw a rectangle with side lengths positive from the origin, it's top right and multiplying the lengths gives you the area. If you instead take both sides negative then it's bottom left, but the area is the same.

However.. it's also the same if only one side extends negatively, so this is not at all satisfying.

(If that's made it even more confusing, the misleading error there is that side lengths are multiplied to give area, not positions on an axis relative to origin - the rectangle centred at the origin also has the same area.)
