Vaccinia, the smallpox vaccine, is a very closely related virus. You infect someone with it, they maybe get a bad rash at worst, and then they are immune to many of the poxes. Cowpox can and has been used the same way, too. This is why vaccination is named after cows.

Some poxes are awful for the primary host. Camelpox apparently kills about a quarter of camels that contract it. Just like smallpox (humanpox?) kills about 25% of humans, actually. But camelpox rarely even infects humans, and is self-limiting when it does.

Monkeypox is bad in humans. Almost as bad as smallpox, but not as contagious.
Not sure why this is news - Amazon is the first company to embrace a hybrid work environment, way before the pandemic... Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - work from the office. Saturday and Sunday - work from home.
Nintendo Opening Museum in Defunct Kyoto Factory
I wish it was reported but we can't talk about it and I understand why that is.

Realistically it would create vaccine hesitancy in some percentage of people that heard about the story. I already had to talk my dad into getting his booster in a few months because after he heard he became concerned about getting it.

For this reason and probably more structural reasons nobody in media is willing to report it. Unfortunately there are certain media members who are hungry for the story but these are not the kinds of groups we want to talk to. They will simply use the story to fuel their silly vaccine conspiracy theories they push.

The Mayo clinic folks will eventually publish their research paper that includes both cases. We have no idea when that will be but they are committed and legally bound to provide the final copy to my friend.

I'll be honest, the title of the announcement made by the justice department looks like a news article title written by journalists and not by a government office. I have nothing against journalists or attorneys, the subject just doesn't look right.
I feel like this really is the biggest gap between Tesla and others. Other car companies treat software as an afterthought and may never recover.
There are also Ada, Basic, Pascal compilers, but definitly not on the car industry, and in what concerns Java it is only used by some infotaiment systems.
This is what I dont understand about how people are acting about this. These medical companies are making a fortune from this and there is hard evidence from previous court cases that they dont have our best interests at heart. People wouldn't be taking this vaccine id the media hadn't been lying to then and spreading fear for a whole year. It's all infuriating.
Insiders are allowed to trade, however there are time limits. Plans to buy or sell must be disclosed well in advance and black out periods can apply.
Just wanted to post the same.
Adding a note, according to the initial filings from the SEC:

>As further explained in Amazon’s Insider Trading FAQs, “puts, calls, warrants and other types of option securities” were required to “be cleared in advance with the Legal Department, regardless of whether that employee is otherwise subject to preclearance or to the trading window, even if that employee is not in possession of material nonpublic information.”

Amazon employees require Amazon's Legal approval before trading Amazon options.

I really wonder what would happen if you got a locksmith to open the house and just went back in for the night in that situation. Probably depends on local laws and definitely a terrible idea. Just kind of curious if it's actually a crime since you have rented the place.

I'm not certain since it was just a test drive, and there was no Tesla rep with me - it did say "Beta" on the autopilot screen, and seemed happy to engage on any kind of street, but I don't know if that means it was the full FSD Beta. (I'd be kind of surprised if they just handed people the (virtual) keys to that with no warnings, but Tesla does tend to do surprising things.)
CPAN and Maven did it first.
Yeah it's lame. Also they might prohibit shorting of the stock (always), preventing employees from locking in their stock option gains.
That's a good idea.

Firefox emphasizes the main part of the domain name in darker text, so "ycombinator.com" is black while the rest of the URL is grey.

Chrome uses slightly darker text for the whole domain name, so "news.ycombinator.com" is black while the rest of the URL is grey — but the difference is so slight that it's nearly impossible to see. I don't know why they would bother to make the distinction and then make it visually indistinguishable.

Safari shows just the domain name, "news.ycombinator.com".
At that point you're probably better off investing the money and hoping you don't need it in the first ~10 years. Even if you need to invest more than that 3% to get the same "cover", if you don't end up disabled you can use it for an early retirement. The money spent on insurance is gone forever.
Africa's E-Commerce Boom
About 1 person in 1 million (so 300 americans) will possibly suffer (there is a weak link) GBS, a rare disorder where the immune system begins to attack the nervous system.

More commonly, people suffer allergic reactions (Up to a few hours later) which can be deadly. Allergic reactions aren't rare.
I tend to agree, although I hate ads on principle.

But there are a lot of things I hate and don't have to think about. I don't go around protesting the war because in my country that's not something I have to care about, for example.

But advertisers made me have to care. If I didn't have adblock, I'd be running JS from some unverified third party on every other site. Couldn't they restrict it to pictures? Of course not.

So now I have to care, and I'm not going to cooperate with advertisers, who - before adblock got so mainstream - were content to serve us literal viruses as long as someone paid them.

I think people simply don't appreciate that it's an easily caught crime. Most illegal things that one might do won't ever be caught, eg you break into someone's house and it would take the police to bother investigating and then put enough effort into that one case. Or to stay in white collar you might forget to report some income, how's the tax man to know unless you are already in focus?

With insider trading the investigation is a DB query. It costs very little to look at all the trades for everyone around announcements and see who was acting suspiciously.
For me, it only gets the "really well" when it also does binary dependencies vcpkg/conan style.

It's a 1/3 chance if you pick before the second door is opened and do not switch.

It's a 1/2 chance if you pick after the second door is opened, regardless of switching.

It's a 2/3 chance if you pick before the second door is open and switch after the second door is opened.

I recommend reading again, because I don't want to write up the logic.

Of a bigger concern is that this was not true on "Let's Make a Deal". The problem assumes that Monty always offered the option to switch. In reality, he did not, and the offers were not random. That corrected for the issue to a large degree in practice.
From about the 200 people I've got on my spreadsheet to track this shit (because I'm not a very busy person and it's a nice way to counter antivaxxers), I've got 0 people who have been hospitalized. Most people simply suffer from a strong, but expected, side effect of a vaccine. After all, their immune system is indeed fighting off what it thinks is a serious threat and expending a lot of resources for that.

You get similar (but weaker) side effects from Influenza shots.

If you look at the write-ups on that link, btw, and not simply if the person was hospitalized, you see that most cases simply end up in observation overnight and most suffer rather mild symptoms you'd experience from a strong immune reaction. A lot of cases are marked as "not recovered" but the writeup says "Headache for 45 minutes, gave ibuprofen."

Even better, most of the deaths are labelled as an allergic reaction and in some cases it's 80+ year old people dying.
"Sorry could you repeat that? Someone in the next town over clicked their pen and resulting change in gravity due to the ink tube offset by 1cm drowned out your signal."
Kind of a strange wording of the submitted headline, at first glance I thought it meant that Amazon was moving against work-from-home, whereas the articles explains they're going against their initial direction of forcing workers back into the office.
If they kept the $2.6M in a liquid saving account just for cases like this one, yeah, that wouldn't be so bad. But I don't expect that's the case and in practice that could mean for example losing her house.

Profiling Kubernetes with cluster, node and pod level filtering using gProfiler
Granulate has officially released the much-awaited Filters Feature to its gProfiler.

In case you need some context, gProfiler(https://profiler.granulate.io/) is a free, open-source tool that allows you to run low-overhead, continuous profiling in production to identify bottlenecks, improve code quality, and optimize performance while saving on compute costs. Some of the gProfiler benefits:

- Seamless installation with no code changes

- Immediate visibility into production code (<5 min.)

- Minimal performance overhead and less than 1% utilization penalty

- Native support for Java, Go, Python, Scala, Clojure, PHP , and Kotlin

With this new feature, gProfiler users can now filter services based on Container name, Hostname, or K8s object. This means that you can view a flame graph of what you want to investigate from a specific container host or pod.
To get started, all you have to do is follow these simple steps:

- Create your gProfiler account (https://profiler.granulate.io/)

- Add a new service using our installation wizard using a Daemonset installation

- Inspect your profiling data and start optimizing

You can also play around and see how it works in our demo application(https://demo-profiler.granulate.io/). Click on the filters icon and see how the graph filters accordingly.

BTW - We’ve also added support for profiling PHP using phpspy, in addition to our existing support for Java, Python and Go, and more.

I find this intransigent view of what change might look like to be staggeringly repugnant. I think it represents a very staid, limited, unwilling view of how society ought be willing to adapt to conditions it finds itself in. calling modern situations a mob, discarding obvious crisis out of hand: that delegitimizes the trust your post claims is of such utmost importance.

you talk about slow change, but there seems to be nothing at all that society can change. we seem perpetually bound in old grants & fantastic claims. the only suggestions I've heard from anyone are that society must bargain for its basic human rights to survive, in apocalypse situations, that these vast vast vast free grants have caused.

color me very very very skeptical of your so called ideas of stability: I think you have it very wrong. there seem to be no rights given to the future, nothing reserved or allotted to the general population. I've little trust on your claim that that defines stability, that all new comers must fend for themselves amid a situation of dire need: caring only for the getsntocratic olds seems uncivil, ill governed, the very definition of illegitimate.
> no, it’s always worth pointing out irrational reasoning though.

You haven't done that though. You've made accusations of irrationality without ever once backing them up.

> So far I’ve only heard made up, theoretical, what if, privacy concerns.

I think engineers have am ethical duty to consider "theoretical" privacy concerns when they are working on new technology.

Given the history of data mining and brokerage in the US, I would be willing to make significant bets that, (in the absence of a new law being passed to prohibit it,) consumer power usage patterns from smart meters will be sold to data brokers. Pretending this isn't going to happen belies either your knowledge of the existing markets for data or your own rationality.
Anybody from Amazon know the backstory about why they really changed the approach?

This doesn’t really mean anything “thinking is predicated on what we believe will be most beneficial for customers, while also trying to give employees more flexibility in their work environment and lives.”
If simply being husband of a woman who works for Amazon can help you acquire such information on which you can perform insider trading.

What stops from former workers at intelligence agencies from starting a hedge fund and employing all methods they learned while at work, to acquire such valuable information, trade based on that and offer others money management services?
> threat to life

You mean like anti-vaxxers dragging down the overall protection rate until there's outbreaks occurring despite everyone else's best efforts and then people die? Like how 50 Samoan children died because of them? https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/anti-vaccination-a...

> the most critical and important jobs in society are among the lowest-paid: retail and foodservice

Pay has nothing to do with how critical or important a job is. Nothing.

Pay is determined — like everything else — by supply and demand.

Nails are the most ‘critical and important’ component of a house. They are also the cheapest. Because the supply is endless. The chandelier in the entryway, on the other hand, is neither critical nor important, yet it costs a great deal more than a nail.

From the above WaPo article:

> Native Americans have always contended that the Black Hills of South Dakota belong to them, and that the sacred land was stolen after gold was discovered there. In 1980, the Supreme Court agreed, ordering the federal government to compensate eight tribes for the seizure of Native land.

I don't think enough people know this. Or know that the tribes refused the money saying they would only accept the return of their land. The money currently sits in an account gaining interest and is over a billion dollars.[1]

I personally hope someday this land is returned to them and Mount Rushmore is removed (possibly preserved as history if technologically possible) much as we do with Confederate monuments.

What the FDA is doing is in effect allowing Biogen to run a large scale clinical trial while charging full price for the drug. This would normally be a terrible idea, but Alzheimer's is such a devastating and long lasting disease that patients as well as insurance companies might well be willing to subsidize Biogen just to find out if this thing really works or not. Such is the gloomy reality of an incurable, progressive, and fatal disease.

They didn’t buy stock, they bought option calls which use leverage to profit massively of small movements in the ticker. They are incredibly risky, and Nancy’s husband bet between 500k and $1M on them, which means that if the trade had gone sour, they could have lost that immediately. That’s WallStreetBets levels of gambling, and a strange behavior for an otherwise safe trader.

Also, AFAIK there has been no update on whether those calls are still open or closed. They could have sold the covered calls already at a massive profit before the stock started to tank.
Based on your description I'm an introvert, but I still need WFH in my life for the social stuff and structure. I guess it's a continuum. I'd go crazy without at least 2 days a week in office.
I think it depends if you have the time and energy to exercise them. Kelpies, Border Collies and Australian Cattle Dogs are popular pets here in Australia, you just need to exercise them.

They are very intelligent, alert and loyal. We adopted a Cattle Dog and just had to be careful around toddlers due to herding, but otherwise he's very well adjusted.

He will follow you up the stairs and nip at your heels as you go, but he never bites hard and does it for attention/affection.
