I don’t think the argument in this thread is to shut it down. It’s that more manufacturing should be done domestically. Offshoring manufacturing allowed us to revive those sweatshops after unions and regulations had done away with them and created decent paying blue collar jobs. If we had kept it domestic we’d probably be a lot further along to full automation since that’s the only other cost cutting option.
We're a design agency that went fully remote for the first time during the pandemic last year. It was a bit of a shock, but we tried our best to get to this new way of working.

With remote teams, there's no end to the tools we can use to be more efficient, productive, motivated... you get the drill.

But time-off tools are almost always an afterthought — that is, until information gaps and unplanned absences wreak havoc on project plans.

When you use all-in-one HR tools and spreadsheet hacks, some pretty hair-raising stuff happens:

1) When applying for time off is complicated, teams don't take a break

2) You lose track of who's in and who's out, and plans start to suffer

3) Overworked teammates start feeling burnt out and unhappy more often than usual

4) Too many features overwhelm your team and the pricing makes you cry.

These scarily common problems hamper the well-being of high-autonomy teams.

We've been there — so we decided to built a product internally last year to solve this.

It worked so well that we started slowly sharing it with other folks and now, more than nine months later, we're really excited to announce that our product's finally launched on Product Hunt and is currently at #3 !

Pause helps teams:

1) Take time off

2) Know colleagues' availability

3) Create transparent policies

4) Plan better together

We've built Pause to integrate with some commonly used work tools like Slack and Google Calendar so that it's easy to use and you don't have to switch contexts too much.

We're looking forward to answer any questions you folks might have!

I attended a meeting on the future of computing in 1992. The speaker discussed the end of the corporate data center, and the rise of "utility computing."

Also discussed was remote storage, globally available file shares.

It looks like this is happening with what we now call "Cloud Computing."
Well, it kind of is. Blockchain has been hyped by charlatans as the cure to all world's ills. That means when you read something about blockchain you should be especially suspicious.

Similarly, I've read too many people hyping up glorified chatbots as one step below AGI (see the :o reactions to GPT3), so I'm now extra skeptical about claims about machine learning.
You need to work for an airline and have an airside pass. Generally only other pilots (on or off duty) or cabin crew (on duty) are allowed onto the flight deck. They generally don't want strangers on the flight deck because of security and they would not be trained in the emergency procedures.

Even people flying jump are usually outside the flightdeck sitting in the uncomfortable seats in the galley.

You are correct. The national/intra-jurisdiction checks usually give you a thumb up / thumb down without context.

The cross-border credentials provide context to allow the destination to make a determination if they wish. For example, some jurisdictions may not recognize Sinovac. Others may not recognize a COVID recovery + 1/2 dose series as valid. In the future, some vaccine series may need a 3rd dose.

Each place in different. Some US jurisdictions adopted a "hold my beer" approach. Others have tight standards and vaccine registry, others have good immunization processes, but the integration with third parties is poor.

Automating ServiceNow with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
I wasn't able to find support for that statement.

Several reports point out that when the 55 speed limit was repealed, traffic deaths increased. Here are a couple of citations:

1) "Rising speed limits over the past 25 years have cost nearly 37,000 lives, including more than 1,900 in 2017 alone, a new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows ... For the new study, Charles Farmer, IIHS vice president for research and statistical services, analyzed the effect of changes in the maximum posted speed limit in every state from 1993 to 2017. ... Farmer found that a 5 mph increase in the maximum speed limit was associated with an 8 percent increase in the fatality rate on interstates and freeways " - https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/speed-limit-increases-are-t...

2) "Long-Term Effects of Repealing the National Maximum Speed Limit in the United States" - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2724439/

> We examined the long-term effects of the 1995 repeal of federal speed limit controls on road fatalities and injuries in fatal crashes. ... We found a 3.2% increase in road fatalities attributable to the raised speed limits on all road types in the United States. The highest increases were on rural interstates (9.1%) and urban interstates (4.0%). We estimated that 12 545 deaths (95% confidence interval [CI] = 8739, 16 352) and 36 583 injuries in fatal crashes (95% CI = 29 322, 43 844) were attributable to increases in speed limits across the United States."

But that's after it was repealed.

Going back to when the law was put into place, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law#Saf... states "The limit's effect on highway safety is unclear."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5005740/ shows "Joinpoint analysis of trends in motor vehicle traffic fatality rates, all ages, by sex, 1968 to 2010" in figure 2 you can see the decrease in fatalities after the law was put into place in 1973, followed by a regression to a decreasing mean.

This is in agreement with Wikipedia's statement "Although the vast majority of states reported fewer traffic deaths in 1974 compared with 1973, there were in fact three states where traffic deaths actually increased ... According to the National Research Council, there was a decrease in fatalities of about 3,000 to 5,000 lives in 1974, and about 2,000 to 4,000 lives saved annually thereafter through 1983".

It therefore doesn't appear that traffic deaths increased with the enactment of the National Maximum Speed Law.

How does Terraform achieve that better than CF besides that it has the ability to provision other providers? If you want to switch from say AWS to Azure, you are still required to reconfigure each and every resource as they are named differently, behave probably differently and have different parameters. In that time you probably have learned the equivalent of CF in Azure (if there is some).

It‘s not unachievable, but saying it‘s „easy“ is far away from the truth.

What you want is not possible. They were at a much higher risk of dying, so they got the vaccine first. Because they got the vaccine first, they get to live "normal" lives again before you do.

Yes, that's unfair.

It would have also been unfair to give the vaccine to young people first.

Such is life. Whichever choice you make here, it is unfair. There is no "happy path".

Or actually, we (here in the West) ARE on the happy path. Just have a look at what is happening in Brazil or India to see why we are the fortunate ones. We need to stick with it for a bit longer, and Corona will mostly be a thing of the past here. Many people all over the world would love to swap places with us. Also extremely unfair. Unfortunately.

I'm actually a little saddened by this. The lack of connectivity in the tube felt like a positive aspect in ways that I'm finding difficult to articulate. Something... humanizing, about being surrounded by people who weren't having a conversation with someone you couldn't see. For a brief interlude, your carriage mates are the only humans in your universe - a cozy little intimate moment in a bustling and anonymous city. A chance to see how a random slice of an incredibly wide demographic conducts themselves when cut off from the global hive mind. One of the few places you might still see someone reading a book instead of doomscrolling.

I think scalability, portability and cleanliness is mostly talk. The reality is that browser based frameworks like Electron are popular because developers who only know js are cheaper and the first half of the lifecycle is cheaper and faster while the second half is often either dropped entirely or someone else's problem.

Of course a JIT compiler will never be as performant as precompiled binaries, especially when its running in a full featured web browser that is packing functions that the developer neither needs nor is using.
A better question is who depends upon you? Are you single? Married with children? It isn't just you when this discussion comes up. If you drop your job to pursue a pegasus, are you the only one without health insurance, dental etc??? Do it on the side if you do it all. I've been broke all my life and while I wouldn't have pursued the two most logical paths to better money because I believed they would not have made me a better person, I cannot advocate for someone giving up the means that comes with a successful career. I think you should keep your job, bank as much money as possible and scratch your itch in your off hours and on weekends. Just my half penny. HTH
Yes, The name and date of birth are linked to a number of vaccinations,

AND date it was administered,
AND the country it was administered, (I also now have a good guess about you nationality)

Whether or not the author is "redeemable" is irrelevant. At its core sexual misconduct is prioritizing one's own needs/desires and using someone else as an object to achieve them. It's one of the highest acts of self centeredness and it happens at someone else's expense.

I don't see how writing an article about how the author's sexual misconduct has impacted him isn't a continuation of the same problem mentality.

It would seem that if he had a breakthrough then letting the victims have the stage is the way to go. I believe he has to accept that...

1. No one is obligated to forgive him.

2. No one asked for him to do what he did.

3. No one has to let by gones be by gones.

4. He doesn't necessarily get to make art anymore. At least not the same way he used to.

I don't think that is what the author wants to hear, but its the only honorable path forward.
Google at CVPR 2021
Allowing the CPU to drop into a deterministic-performance mode would be quite useful not only for running untrusted code (whatever we decide to be "untrusted"), but also for cryptography. So many classes of side channel attacks would simply vanish, or at least become controllable.

South Korea has been a stalwart US ally for many years. While you're right that relations with NK and China have softened, and calling them challenging is probably an overestimation, the US is far from a bit player in the region.

The Zaibatsu/Keiretsu took many generations to get where they are now, and relied on heavy political patronage and financial muscle to grow over protracted periods of time. None of their founders built multiple global businesses from scratch in a single lifetime, let alone simultaneously.

They're also very much artificial constructs, in the sense at this point they are as much political as economic artefacts. The Chaebol are more recent in their modern form but followed the same model.
I dunno, I think this could have gone a different direction. It never really worked to self host things, because of IP address scarcity. Maybe if IPv6 had actually rolled out in the 90s, everyone could have had an IP address. Maybe then it would have made sense for people to make software targeting self-hosting. DreamWeaver web pages that you don't have to figure out how to deploy to a server somewhere, mail clients that run truly locally, maybe other different stuff that we never thought of. The earlier versions of these would have still had security and usability problems, but maybe they would have been compelling enough that the effort to fix those issues would have made sense.

You can currently travel (and return) freely to loads of places without a vaccination, a test, or a document, or anything. Seems a bit disingenuous not to mention that.

Also, PCR tests are available for way less than 120 EUR.

That's not to say the past year wasn't particularly difficult to families with children and young people in general.
I don't believe it does, at least not clearly. The question is why we develop an allergic reaction to the alpha-gal sugar injected by the tick bite, and not to alpha gal simply by eating red meat.

I believe the usual hypothesis for reactions like this is that the body treats the tick bite as an injury, and a possible source of infection. It will probably initiate the primary (innate) immune system, which inflames the site and recruits immune cells. These cells then find the slightly-unusual alpha gal molecule, and incorrectly treat it as an antigen, leading to an adaptive immune response to alpha gal from then on.

My understanding is that vaccines delivered by injection actually benefit from this system as well, as the body rapidly initiates the innate immune system in response to the puncture wound caused by the needle.

Oh and going all eggs in on one algorithm is stupid. Thinking there will never be problems with Ed25519 is naive. PGP was designed to be extended.
