> Them: The vaccines are more dangerous than the virus!

Children under age 14 are between 6.8 and 17 times less likely to die of Covid-19 than the seasonal flu or pneumonia. And here we are, trying to preemptively vaccinate them against a disease that they are not particularly susceptible to. I'm not sure if the vaccine is more dangerous but if it were, I doubt it would be making headlines.

The argument could be made that vaccinating children helps to protect vulnerable adults, and that them shouldering the risks from vaccination are for the public good, but that's not what the media and government are selling. They are intentionally distorting the facts to make the virus seem more dangerous than it actually is, overstating "long covid" and other pseudoscience, understating the risks, such as blood clots and cardiac conditions, and not being forthright about the risks of vaccinating young people.

My question is: Why not be honest with people? It sounds a lot like the guidance from Early-2020 when the CDC was telling us that masks were not effective in preventing COVID-19 transmission, which they backpedaled by saying they did spread misinformation, but it was "for the protection the supply of PPE for healthcare workers". Why should I trust a government agency that believes lying is OK if it's in the best interest of the government? Why would they be telling the truth now if they have a track record of misrepresenting the facts?
You meant Apache Pulsar! :)
I have a CAT s61, it comes with it's own camera app. I used to be able to do it with the camera app on previous phones that I broke, which is why I got a rugged phone. (also the IR camera and laser pointer.) I would just install one, but at a glance, all of the QR code apps seem like scams, and I haven't cared enough to do any research.
I do not have a complete well-sourced answer, but the common argument against your suggestion is that such a carbon sink would work for only a couple of decades until it reaches a steady state, and these couple of decades do not seem to be enough to make a dent.

Also, it is difficult to plant trees in a desert. Also, algae blooms are dangerous for other life forms.

However, there are some startups working with super-fast-growing (ugly) trees that are then used as construction material, which would be a longer-term-functioning sink. Not very clear whether that scales.
But in the next 20 or 30 years when there is another energy crisis they'll just start pumping again under the pretext of an emergency.
My depressing "wild" take is that the world population will peak in ~2100, and since life (human, covid, etc) is driven by exponential growth, world population will begin shrinking and we will soon see the end of the end of the human race as a space faring entity and soon the functional end of the human race as we are unable to sustain our infrastructure.
Agreed. However, the "evil" people are capitalizing on the pandemic in a very different way than the "good" people are.

> Do we have roving bands of mercenaries looking to kill us and take our stuff here in the United States?

Maybe not where you live. But roving militias are a thing across the midwest. Some dismiss them as bored guys cosplaying freedom fighters, but they are out there and are actively conspiring to hurt people. They just aren't taken seriously yet because they haven't actually hurt too many people.
>I also wouldn't call this a loophole, you have to explicitly have permissions to use SSM.

Perhaps not the best wording on my part. I was aware of SSM, but not aware of the SSH tunneling features. I'm wondering if that's common. Is the SSH tunneling controlled separately, or on by default if SSM is on?

I would not recommend that someone just starting out and who doesn't fully understand subtractive synthesis start with a very sophisticated, open-ended modular system.

oscs, filters, lfos, envelopes, vcos . . . for a beginner, this is all hard enough without adding control signals and fancy routings to the equation.

Rack is amazing; I don't mean to criticize it in any way. But if you're trying to learn to fly, you might want to start with a Cessna instead of trying to jump into the cockpit of a 787.
I think that's what the author was getting at, after reading through the whole article. The idea isn't to get rid of webhooks, but provide an endpoint that can be used when webhooks won't necessarily work.
Unless the artist is genuinely performing under different "personas" (sort of like how there are sometimes two-or-more distinct bands with the same members), you/iTunes will want all of the artist's albums grouped into a single album collection. And the artist's name happens to be sort key/grouping key for that album collection.

(The ARTISTSORT field exists, but old devices, e.g. original iPods, don't know about it, so digital distributors tend to eschew the use of it, instead using the regular artist field as the ARTISTSORT field.)
On the other hand all of what that commenter recommended has a tonne of evidence behind it, some of which was merely taken for granted as true at a time when our lifestyles weren't as buzzed-out or sedentary than they are now.
25,000 years ago, CO2 levels stood at 180 ppm - the lowest in 4.7 billion years of earth's history. About 30 ppm above the level at which RuBisCo stops effectively working, which would bring a halt to most photosynthesis on earth.

You can blindly accept dogma or you can think about the implications of that in light of fanatical calls to remove CO2 from the atmosphere - CO2 which has been steadily removed by long term geological processes, and which is now below the levels of over 99% of earth's history.
So we could determine what gains I am getting are due to C and the specific compares and which are due just being 2 lists? That would be an interesting test.

Maybe I'll do a follow-up. Thanks for reading the article. I suspect you know way more about C extensions in Python than I do. I saw you have a talk on this topic.

I think you are totally right that pop is not the way to go, but using an offset to track the head, like the C example does. I actually put that in a footnote, because I was considering testing my python version but the SO answer mentioned pop being expensive.

I think the simple version is still great as psuedo-code for communicating a solution though and hopefully it makes the c code a bit easier to follow once you've seen the python version.
And you've highlighted the often-overlooked truth: Arguments are very rarely won with rationality.

In the post-FIRE relationships disconnect post, it was jarring how he went from having what I saw as a reasonably well communicated discussion to "she couldn't get her head around us being different." Seems like the understood each other, but had different priorities. Each also seemed to have a bit of disdain for the other's way of thinking.

He saw her desires as vain and felt like she didn't understand his ideal of freedom. She saw his freedom as stagnation.
To clarify the first bullet point:

When the battery pack is plugged into an outlet, it will function more or less as a standard 15W wireless charger. When unplugged from the wall and drawing from it's own energy, it will only provide 5W of power.
The case numbers were 99 yesterday, so yes, double digit, but it’s not good.

Australia locked down, but from a New Zealand perspective their lockdowns have been rather less harsh than ours. Supermarkets and medical practices (for humans and animals) were all we had open.

It has seemed that their way got the results while having more shops open, though they are in a tight spot right now.

Likely varies too much to give a fair estimate. I'd guess this is somewhere around 3000-4000mah, then minus the wireless charging inefficiency? So it might give the 12 Mini a full day, but only half a day for the 12 Pro Max.

EDIT: Apparently just under 1500mah, so likely half a day for the mini, and a few hours for the max? I'd be curious too.
Yeah, it's akin to it. In the won't help you get laid way.
Does than mean they are more expensive to produce per dose, than vaccines?

> With webhooks, they can offload events at their own pace.

They can't offload webhooks at their own pace if the two parties want reliable delivery. The server providing the webhook might be experiencing a prolonged outage, in which case the sender needs the ability to buffer the events anyway.
First use of Reverse Wireless charging on an iPhone. Also, the iPad charging is one way.

Burden of post-Covid-19 syndrome and implications for healthcare planning
Just commenting on the copywriting since Apple is a master of marketing (according to my MBA program).

There are 4 messages about being able to buy this on credit/monthly payments.

Veblen goods don't target the wealthy, but they need to appear to.

I feel like this has mixed messaging, or maybe this is a necessity to make the sale.
I don't think the original comment meant long polling (i.e. keeping the connection alive), they meant periodically call the endpoint to check for events.
The source IP address is delivered with any IP packet. If there's a dividing line related to the IP address it has to be storing it, not having it available.
> If you need strict consistency guarantees, sure. Otherwise, don't piss off your API consumers, webhooks work just fine.

Ahh, but all problems are queues. What happens if your webhook destination is down and your source system sending queue backs up? What happens if your destination endpoint is up, providing 200s to requests, but throwing away the data quietly due to a mistake during a rollout? Or your webhook source quickly ramps to a volume that is effectively a DoS attack? (These are all problems I encountered in a role at a low code/no code product).

I strongly endorse others in this thread who indicate long polling events is a suitable pattern. You want the best worlds of data durability and consistency through polling functionality, but also as close to real time event firing as possible.

Of course, some APIs you have no control over, and are stuck building robust, chatty polling infra to support because your (paying) users demand access to those APIs. Such is the schlep.
> - If plugged into the phone, it can charge the battery (is this the first use of "reverse charging"?)

Now that's cool. It's certainly the first wireless reverse-charging that I've heard of.
Wow, I just saw the news about Secret Santa... how sad. It was truly one of the more unique community aspects...

All the fossil fuels we've been burning is introducing carbon back into the biosphere. The key to carbon removal is to sequester it back somewhere where it won't be circulating in nature. It's not enough to plant more trees, as those new trees' carbon will just continue to cycle through the environment.
Yeah I did that all the time and the recent change was a regression to me. Now with Firefox 90 I can finally comfortably open things in a background tab again.

That depends on the region and industry. Outside of "tech hubs" like the Bay Area, most software jobs paying close to six-figures are still more like "business casual, butt in the seats" than they are "WFH 2x/week, wear sandals and shorts if you want".

These jobs have things like accrued PTO, limited perks, and relatively inflexible time-off tolerance that is highly dependent on the manager's whim.

"Not difficult" is relative, really.
Objections to FLoC are basically about what should be included in #2. I don't understand why people would be opposed to #1 or #3 though?
I'm looking forward to Australia relaxing entry requirements on vaccinated international travelers.
With no HTTP alternative? Most FTP servers that I saw also had HTTP support.
One thing that I think many are missing in their understanding, is that this gives Junior to Mid-level engineers a path forward and direction to improve. Often it's the case an engineer will ask their manager "How can I improve or get to the next level?" and having reference documentation for how to impact an organization at a larger level is extremely handy. It also helps engineers relate their efforts to the bigger picture and help them formulate a vision for why we have a competency hierarchy and how to view it in terms of career frame-working.

At my company we also have a very similar engineering career framework, but the goal isn't to push everyone into boxes, but rather to help engineers understand what it means to have a large impact on an organization. This usually translates to more cross-team responsibilities and deliverables over longer periods of time.
I have never found scientific writing as gripping as I have found this series. My mouth just hangs agape as I scroll and the implications hit me.
To note, that it's 7.62V (i.e., 2S), so it's equivalent to most ~3000mAh packs. Still not great for the money, but not as bad as it sounds.
"Build the life you want, then save for it" has become the mantra of these subreddits as of late, which I think is a much better approach than the "live and eat like a college student so you can live and eat like a college student for the rest of your life but without having to work" that it used to come across as.
Ah, I hear that a lot from customers I work with. A true event-driven system requires both events and webhooks. You will always have apps that only interact via REST so you can't really use streaming architecture here but you can make them more real-time via webhooks.

The article talks about issues with webhooks such as not being reliable if the service goes down and messages are lost. It also talks about developers daisy-chaining multiple services together to put forward a solution which is not robust.

That's why you need a broker that does event distribution, supports multi-protocols (REST, AMQP, MQTT, WebSockets...) natively without any proxies and supports Webhooks. You can push messages to your REST clients and if they disconnect, the messages will pile up in a queue, ready to be consumed when the client reconnects.

Solace PubSub+ Broker does all of this. Disclaimer: I work at Solace.
Not disagreeing with your point, and I'm sure you already know this, I just wanted to point out (for the benefit of people that don't have other options) that it is possible to build "webhooks" in such a way that you're confident nothing is dropped and nothing goes (permanently) out of sync. (At least, AFAIK -- correct me if this sounds wrong!)

Conceptually, the important thing is each stage waits to "ACK" the message until it's durably persisted. And when the message is sent to the next stage, the previous stage _waits for an ACK_ before assuming the handoff was successful.

In the case that your application code is down, the other party should detect that ("Oh, my webhook request returned a 502") and handle it appropriately -- e.g. by pausing their webhook queue and retrying the message until it succeeds, or putting it on a dead-letter queue, etc. Your app will be "out of sync" until it comes back online and the retries succeed, but it will eventually end up "in sync."

Of course, the issue with this approach is most webhook providers... don't do that (IME). It seems like webhooks are often viewed as a "best-effort" thing, where they send the HTTP request and if it doesn't work, then whatever. I'd be inclined to agree that kind of "throw it over the fence" webhook is not great and risks permanent desync. But there are situations where an async messaging flow is the right decision and believe it or not, it can work! :)
You have it completely backwards. NY Times is notorious in journalism for forgetting to mention others' articles or putting them towards the very end of the article.
86% of the population is urban, so it is only sparsely populated on average; there are plenty of opportunities for a disease to spread. Their relative isolation and the fact that they effectively closed their borders (so hard that even Australian citizens had a hard time getting in) before covid made it in has indeed helped with their "success." They have also had very hard (but short) lock downs whenever a case was detected in order to trace contacts.
Haha, multiple European countries have halted administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine in people under 60 because they can't be sure that the benefits outweigh the risks, and you still have people fretting that "these darn skeptics just won't listen to Stats And Logic!"

This whole line of argument that "the population-wide risks of the virus are outweighed by the (publicly acknowledged) population-wide risks of the vaccine" is extremely innumerate when addressed to a non-elderly, healthy person without co-morbidities. Your family member's instinct that his risks may be higher from the vaccine might be entirely in line with the reality.
This has been a feature on at least higher end Samsung Galaxy devices for some time now. There it is less restricted, and you can basically use your phone as a standard Qi wireless charging pad.
The art is the evidence, no? Sculptures of a bird-headed man implies mythology, or at least imagination.
I used the wrong word! Most data shows people who have a truly asymptomatic infection do not frequently spread the virus. But much if not most of the transmission occurs from infected people while they are pre-symptomatic. Hence the ease of spreading the diseases, and the push by many health agencies to get people with no symptoms to wear masks and social distance in case they are infected but don't know it yet.

Do you have solidity engs?
>I get that a former penal colony probably has inherited expansive judicial discretion

This made me double take. The Thirteen colonies was used as a penal colony too, so maybe the USA has expansive judicial discretion too, or maybe it's not really relevant.
> not just “turn deserts into plant areas” or “encourage algae blooms” or something?

That might be slightly more tricky (and less efficient) than you seem to imagine.

Also, the prize is not exclusively for "chemical" carbon extraction, if you can find a way to scale algae bloom to be a long term carbon sink without ruining the environment in other ways you are eligible:

> Any carbon negative solution is eligible: nature-based, direct air capture, oceans, mineralization, or anything else that achieves net negative emissions, sequesters CO2 durably, and show a sustainable path to achieving low cost at gigatonne scale.
Yep, solidity and wax engineers.
Which, if the parts discussed before long-polling was mentioned were implemented, wouldn't be an issue since you'd be starting from the first event following your last-recieved cursor anyway.

Also, why would you do all that planning and not get a vaccination. Like, in all their planning, it didn't occur to someone that, hospitality places might start requiring proof of vaccination?

Service workers are people too. They want to earn a wage, while keeping themselves and their families safe. And given the labor shortages, these people have a lot more influence over their working conditions than they've had in the past.

Ah, then I guess that's why so few "statistically significant" studies end up being contradicted by further research...
I've averaged about 12-25km per week for the past 3 years, and have been doing about 34km in the past month.

My sleep is not "better" just cause I exercise. I sleep like normal. I go in spurts of 6 hours of sleep when I'm under stress from like work or life and I never feel rested. I often have 30 minute uncontroable powernaps that I have to entertain once or twice a day. If not I do that head bobbing thing.

When I get at least 7:30-8 hours of sleep I don't have that issue. I can function on 6 but I don't feel better at 6. So take this study with a grain of salt. Your probably alert because you have other issues your brain is concerned about as opposed to actually being relaxed. I can function on 4 hours of sleep too. Running a 10k though isn't going to make the day any easier and offset be having another 4 hours of sleep for the day.

Exercise isn't some sort of panacea for poor sleep. It's much more likely tied to the fact that people who exercise live regimented lifestyles so their circadian rhythm is more in tune with the time of day than the amount of sleep.

Edit: k to km/week
Even with web apps, you can serve the same app from the same URI. URI doesn't imply static content.

Serving a slightly different web app from the same URI based upon other random metadata on the other hand. Makes caching all the more complicated.
I think we agree more than we disagree and you're being more hostile than necessary.

> "it seems pretty clear that not doing anything to fix XYZ - in this case working again and living more luxuriously - is being a bad partner."

Yeah - and the why is the bit I was getting at. They have a core value disagreement here, it's likely to be a common one given sexual selective incentives and behavior. I'm not making a moral judgement, but that's likely the truth.

It also sounded like she didn't want to work again - it's unclear if she wanted them both to work, or just for him to work. The podcast I linked is pretty good, men and women often cheat for different reasons, but her motivation here is a pretty textbook example.

His comments are also in the context of her cheating on him and a breakup, so unsurprisingly skew negative.
"mAh" are useless here without voltage. Its like using 50KM/hr as the towing capacity of a truck.
"Street value" per gram goes down significantly as the weight of the transaction goes up. If someone has 100 pounds of weed the cops go by the absolute highest street price for the absolute smallest unit sizes (~$20/g) and call it a $1M haul.

In reality, it's not really feasible to move 45,000 individual grams in a timely manner (especially with products like cannabis that noticeably degrade fairly quickly), not to mention that you'd be opening yourself up to 10,000x the necessary risk to do so.

So while it's true on a certain level that 100 pounds of weed can eventually be worth about a million dollars once it makes its way through a distribution network, in reality it'll only ever probably net maybe 1/4 of that and the majority of that profit won't ever make it back up the chain even in an organized criminal network.

But when the pigs inflate their numbers by pulling these kinds of disingenuous tricks it makes them look good, and they know they'll never get in trouble for doing it.
