These ideas are pretty close to discredited in cryptography engineering. Diversity in signature algorithms doesn't help when everyone uses the same algorithm anyways, and, more importantly, a negotiated algorithm makes it harder to recover from an new attack on algorithms, not easier: with a non-negotiable algorithm, you version the entire repository, and can reliably rule out vulnerable signatures. Negotiation and downgrade attacks have been endemic in "ciphersuite" schemes.

There's a reason the field is moving towards simple, modern schemes like this one, and Debian has more experience than most in trying to make broken, crufty old PGP work.
permethrin is a contact neurotoxin that will kill or repel most insects. I treat my hiking clothes with it if I’m going into tick country. I’ve actually watched ticks scurry away and die after they make contact with treated clothing. It kills mosquitoes equally effectively.

It’s really bad for fish though so I don’t use it all the time.
That is not standard in Europe. Speaking for Ireland and the UK, I believe that the standard is 4 weeks (20 days) plus public holidays.

I would absolutely love it if this became standard, though ;)
If we constrain the market to US, maybe.

> And, does this "EU Green Pass" work in UK or russia?

No, UK/Russia are an example that we are not yet safe. In fact, the current numbers in Portugal are a direct result of influx of visitors from the UK who imported the Delta variant there.

> we're striving for the prepandemic way of life

Yes, as soon as the virus is not a big threat, we can resume the prepandemic way of life. If you look at the current numbers of people getting sick and dying from Covid, it should be clear we are not there yet.
But the Covid pass is a part of normalizing the situation. I will travel in July to a vacation. I will carry the covid pass with me and as a result of that, I will not have to be tested (several times) or quarantined, despite traveling through several international (Schengen) borders.
Well, we will see. I am not really a great promoter, but I will not give up so easily!
Alpha-gal light sufferer here - light because my reactions are usually somewhat light hives, however I also have practiced avoidance nearly perfectly for years. I'll try to answer your questions, but I'm not a medical professional so this is not medical advice etc etc.

What to do in the meantime until the 30-days the allergy takes to develop? 100% avoidance of all things you mentioned would probably be safest.

Why avoid? There are many anecdotes of the allergy fading with enough time when you practice alpha-gal avoidance. So starting IMMEDIATELY and never having a post-tick bite alpha-gal reaction may stop reinforcing the behavior in your immune system even faster. That one theory of how this allergy supposedly fades with time, is its sort of forgotten and dropped from your immune 'defenses' but that maybe not right.

Regarding Dairy, I personally haven't had much problem with cheeses however high fat milks and sour cream kick my ass usually. More processed stuff like cream cheese surprisingly was ok. I believe I read other's online anecdotes supporting what my body has shown to be true also, cooked dairy is usually OK for whatever reason, a similar phenomenon to young kids dairy allergies where they can have it cooked in dishes. But again you may want to do 100% avoidance diet and slowly reintroduce, a standard allergy practice.

RE: cross contamination. Again I'm not a highly sensitive alpha-gal sufferer but I haven't had many issues with this. It would probably be a problem if someone used bacon grease to cook instead of a regular vegetable oil. I've stopped worrying too much about this when I dine/order out and have been OK. I put that energy making sure what I'm ordering doesn't have any hidden beef/pork like in broths of soups.
As a newly single guy in Jan 2020, I went on Bumble for the first time... She moves in July 1st. Try it out, I had sworn I'd never do it.
I’m married to someone about my age, but I don’t see many downsides to dating younger once you’re in your 30s. Mid-20s is old enough for most women to be out of the immature phase of their life, and you’ll have a wife that’s going to look younger longer and be more fertile.

There was no way to type that out without sounding gross.

The proposition for women in their 30s is worse, even if it is easier to find a date. That biological clock is ticking and most men don’t want to date someone older than them.
I'm a little older but not by a lot, and was in a similar situation where I was in my early 30s where I felt my window for getting things done in life was closing and I didn't have a relationship and felt socially isolated in general (for different reasons since it wasn't covid 19 at the time, but still). Things were looking incredibly bleak for me.

But things can change awfully fast even if it seems hopeless, don't give up. The potentially partners you'll meet at this age tend to be more mature on average (generalizing of course!), and I think have a much more healthy perspective on life than the people I often met dating in my 20s. Keep in mind that dating is a numbers game, and like any numbers game, you increase your chances of success the more you play. You need to meet as many people as possible and have fewer expectations--the worse that happens is it doesn't work out and you move on. The hardest part is getting over the fear of rejection, but it can be done, even for the shy.

If it's more the isolation in general that's getting to you rather than no partner, I think if you look around you'll find clubs or groups you can hang around potentially--again you need to get yourself out of your comfort zone and just go join those things. If you're into gaming, feel free to message me (or chat about IT stuff or whatnot--Moonshine#3246 is my Discord).

Covid has been really hard on a lot of people for various reasons, but you're definitely not alone and I'm sure there are plenty of people also looking for more social interaction right now. Just need to find 'em.
Having been around for all of the 90s: I was in my twenties. I really didn't care that much about the future of tech, because it was all fun and exciting. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the twenties are a period of deep contemplation about long-term trends ;)

The things I did see were kind of right there. You could see Linux taking shape - and the biggest driver there, IMHO, was that Unix as an OS removed a lot of constraints Windows and macOS had at the time, that Linux was free & open, and that the entire teaching environment used some form of Unix.

You could see that Internet thing take shape. (I'm still cranky with myself I didn't see it enough, so I turned down several excellent startup options). A commercial future was still dubious. At least to me, but then, I'm not a futurist ;)

You could believe, for a glorious moment, that open sharing was an unalloyed good, and privacy wasn't necessary. (That lasted about 18 months, but for a brief moment in time, it felt amazing)

Most of us spent a lot of time making fun of early video sharing attempts, because we could do math. (Bandwidth made it impossible). We were less good in estimating how much bandwidth would increase. Also, the funniest early attempt was Oracle, because Oracle had a reputation even back then.

The one thing I did "see" early on was that single-core was headed to the dustbin. Mostly because I had the fortune to work with a bunch of people who worked on transputers. A dead-end tech by itself, but it made a very clear point that networked systems of cores are extremely powerful.

Looking back, what strikes me most is how little has changed. We had passionate editor wars. We had OS fanboys. We had our own overhyped and underused lazy FP language (Miranda, back then). We still applied functional principles, just not in that language. Lisp was supposed to be cool, but nobody used it. Nobody wrote FORTRAN, but we'd have been doomed without numeric libraries from FORTRAN. C (and figments of C++) were the workhorse for heavy tasks. The lighter lifting, you did in a scripting language (Perl), because ain't nobody got time for C++. GUIs were derided as fat and bloated, and people in general clamored for the good old times of fast and light software. Programs were at the outer limit of complexity we could manage.

It was already there in Windows NT, had Microsoft been more serious about it, and very few would have bothered with GNU/Linux.
I started in the late 90s when I learnt HTML and tiny bits of Javascript and Perl. The only thing I can remember thinking was this should be easier. Most people used lots of different specialist tools back then, Dreamweaver for web pages, massive IDEs for programming etc. As I got into PHP later I kept thinking I was just repeating the same patterns over and over again.

Much later I discovered things like Ruby on Rails and Django. I switched to emacs and most others switched to editors like vim and VS Code. And things are just generally so much better now. A lot of the things I imagined would be possible back then actually happened.

What I got wrong was how popular the internet would become and what it would be used for. Back then it was mainly a space for geeks. Sure there were a few non-geeks doing internet shopping even back then, but anyone contributing to the internet was more of a geek. There were no girls on the internet. Anonymity was default. While, of course, there was a person behind each handle, it was no concern who they were in meatspace. On the Internet, everyone was equal. Anyone could be anything. Like Neo in the Matrix. That all changed with social media and the big corps decided they wanted to tie us to meatspace IDs. Everyone joined and they brought their meatspace bullshit with them. I didn't see that coming.
> but if you go to return some small value items Amazon tells you to just keep it/throw it away.

Anecdotally, this isn't always true. I have only returned a handful of things over the years, but among them was a microphone windscreen that didn't really fit. It cost maybe €6 or so and they did have me send it back.

My two cents....

Bitcoin is unique in that compared to all other cryptocurrencies it doesn't need to justify its existence based on its performance and value proposition compared to itself. In other words, if you look at an altcoin like Ethereum, its value proposition is in decentralized apps and smart contracts, something Bitcoin can't do. That being the case, you have actual metrics you can judge the platform's performance against. Litecoin is basically Bitcoin with a few enhancements, but its basically 'silver' to Bitcoin's 'gold'. You can never escape the comparison to Bitcoin. I can cite further examples, but the point is that altcoins justify their existence in ways that Bitcoin does not need to prove. Bitcoin "is what it is" at this point. To quote God... "I am that I am".

I know this won't satisfy people who think Bitcoin's value proposition is bogus. But I hope it sheds some light on how Bitcoin compares to everything else in the space.

Really sorry you're going through a hard time.

I would try not to see any of this as a puzzle to solve or evidence to ruminate on about who is actually the bad one here. It doesn't matter whether your manager is bad or you're bad. It's just a bad fit and you should try to get yourself a better fit.

As you've discovered, people can either be set up to succeed and feel good, or not, and you might feel like a completely different person given your environment. It's OK to push for the best environment for yourself with no additional explanation or self-judgement.
ALL retailers destroy unsellable inventory. Items can be defective, counterfeit, damaged, under legal injunction like a trade dispute, incorrectly licensed, or just plain unwanted. If you trade in any item anywhere eventually you're going to end up with something in stock you can't sell.

I mean, what do we want to happen? These things to sit idle forever in a warehouse taking up space?

It all depends on what you're looking for I guess. Certainly you can get married in your 40s. But at that point having a single child, let alone a few, becomes a monumental task. It's not an imaginary deadline. Fertility falls off a cliff at 35 [0].

This is not ideal, but par for the course in the CPG sector. You’d be shocked how much food your local grocery store throws out each week too.

Also the quality of the reporting is very poor and mostly seems intent at just making Amazon look bad. How much do others destroy? It’s a lot. There’s no ability for the reader to understand if this is bad (relatively speaking) or not.
Low-light might not be an issue for people who will show the code on a mobile device. At least in Poland the code is available through the government id iphone/a droid app. Some people may print it, but most will probably just use the app.
'In good condition' and appearing to still be in original shrink-wrap isn't good enough to sell as new to a consumer though.

No, that's not true.

I've mentioned it in a few comments now, but for events within Netherlands there is no cost - you can either have your (free) vaccination check or you can get a free PCR test and have a time-limited entry code. PCR tests for this purpose are always free in NL.

And the Netherlands is covering the cost of PCR tests for travel through July and August, by which point any adult who wants a vaccine can have had one.
I remember that the social studies teacher brought in a friend to "help" with the financial literacy portion, in 8th grade.

We got told to bring our parents into a car dealership for extra credit.

And sure, that's all well and good. Did they also teach you how to contribute while you are low income or if you wound up not actually working because you were taking care of a spouse, child, or parent? Probably not. I'm gonna guess that statistically, you are more likely to be the poor person that can't save.

You can't get a mortgage to invest in REITs. Also you can't live in your REIT investment, so you still have to pay rent.

Of course if you have an investment portfolio adding an RETI is probably a good idea, but it's not really comparable to investing in actual real estate.
Even if you care about this, it's only used during the current Covid restriction phase. In 1-2 years at the most* any investment in such a tracking scheme will be obsolete.

A significant amount of items don't get destroyed however; many are sold on the liquidation market.

I’m skeptical that there will be dramatic changes post-COVID.

We’ve been bombarded with news stories and think pieces about how COVID is changing everything about how we work and how we live, but most people are excited to return to their pre-COVID normal life ASAP.

There are scattered anecdotes about people using COVID to move out of big cities and take up simpler lives working remote, but I also have scattered anecdotes of people taking advantage of the situation to move to big cities and get high paying jobs due to the post-COVID job boom. Housing and rent prices are skyrocketing and lumber prices are up because demand for housing and new construction, including in big cities, continues to increase rapidly.

The articles about how we were all going to flee bug cities and work remote jobs after COVID were premature.
> Germany's largest online retailer also offers external providers who use the “Dispatch by Amazon” logistics service the opportunity to dispose of unsold inventory.

This implies those providers can dispose of the unsold inventory how they see fit, possibly by selling it wholesale or for parts, etc. This doesn't seem like a huge crime.
Coming from the Amiga I was hoping that productivity and creativity tools on PCs would eventually be more open to collaboration with other tools, so that the whole computer becomes a highly personalized "workbench" instead of just starting an application and then doing all work inside that application.

And I wouldn't have imagined something as locked up as iOS in my most dystopian nightmares. On the other hand there's Linux and RaspberryPi, which gives me some hope for the future.

(I'm surprised this is written in Rust and doesn't use the object crate--did the author do this in part to learn how elf works?)

Speaking of visualizing virtual memory, one of the things that I haven't seen a nice prior tool for is breaking down the memory map of a process on a per-section basis--/proc/pid/maps only tells which libraries are providing which sections. I've built something like that for my own needs, but it's the sort of thing that I would have expected would easily come out of some other tool.
I think you were right in RISC prediction.

The report would be a lot more useful if there were some context for this data. How many items do comparable places like Wal Mart warehouses destroy each week? What's the reason for these items being marked for destruction? What percentage of the products are these; how many items go through the warehouse per week that are not destroyed?

I expect these are products returned with defects, that have been issued recalls, that were damaged during shipping, that expired, and all the other streams that aren't the 'happy path' of New product from manufacturer -> Amazon warehouse -> End user for lifetime of product. (Edit: or returned with no defects other than a lack of assured quality and possibly damaged packaging, but still not economically viable to ship back, verify, repackage, and relist as new and unused).

How much money, time, and energy would it take to ship them back to manufacturers where expert technicians could refurbish them to like-new condition if they're broken and fixable, to mark them down and sell them as blemished if they're cosmetically unacceptable but still functional, or to otherwise rescue them from destruction? As an industrial controls engineer in the manufacturing sector, I expect it's a lot more than just discarding it and fabricating a new one from raw materials on an automated production line.

I try to make my lines as flexible as possible, but there's an economy of scale problem that won't be put back into Pandora's box by shaming people with articles containing big numbers. Economics are immune to guilt, you have to find another way to penalize the behaviors you dislike or incentivize the behaviors you want. The reality is that it's really cheap and fast to build new things with low-touch mass production, making them easily diagnosed and repaired is less efficient, and the math says that it's cheaper to make 98% of your parts cheaply and write of 2% to waste than it is to spend 10% more per unit and have zero waste. I expect that the solution has to come either from technology that makes repair, self-diagnosis, packaging, and/or shipping cheaper, or from regulation that makes the 2% write off more expensive than 2%. Regardless of the solution, moralizing is ineffective.

I’ve been regularly crossing schengen borders using fake documents since this whole nonsense started. Most of these papers are impossible to authenticate. Sure, these QR-codes will have cryptographic signatures, so we’ll just switch to foreign certificates instead.

I can safely discuss this on the internet too, it’s not like anyone took photocopies of the documents I showed them.

FWIW I’m not some antivaxxer nutjob, I’m happy to wear masks and self isolate when I’m sick. I’m just going to fight the surveillance state in any way I can.
