I know its probably not your fault, but this is a sysadmin best practice (though, if you read /r/sysadmin, you'll see they regularly don't do this either). Backups are useless unless you regularly validate them. Backups can break in many different ways, and you don't want to find out that they broke when you truly need them. This obviously increases cost/time for using a service/solution, but its good to do to hope it does work when you need it.

I've noticed this is not U.S. specific, so it is not a political polarization in the traditional sense.

The broader world-wide phenomenon, visible also here, is that most people got divided into two camps:

1) "COVID-19 is so dangerous that we must restrict freedoms", "the other camp is a harm to society's health"

2) "COVID-19 is not that dangerous, mortality below 2% (or even lower depending on how it is calculated) and young and healthy people are safe from it, so we must preserve the freedoms", "the other camp is destroying democracy and freedoms".

You can see this in U.S. and in Europe too.

Camp 1) was right at the start of the pandemic when we had little knowledge and people were dying in large numbers. But as time advances, treatments and vaccines are developed, the narrative naturally shifts. Eventually Camp 2) will be seen as the correct one.

Now we're somewhere in the middle it seems.
There are plenty of ways to account for not having a representative sample distribution, I'm just saying that I didn't see any kind of discussion about demographics or confounding variables in the actual study.

This was a pilot study, a way to open an avenue of discussion, and to be sure I think the study warrants more investigation. They even say so: "In future we would like
to conduct larger studies over multiple countries."
I use ImprovMX for this.
In my experience, Firefox actually has better performance than Chrome nowadays — particularly on Apple Silicon, where the difference is stark and dramatic. And with the new "Proton" interface, IMO Firefox finally looks at least as nice as Chrome out of the box.

Firefox mobile still has some catching up to do on the overall UI/UX, but it's not too far off, and the fact that it allows extensions is nice.

Deno 1.12: TypeScript in REPL, WebAssembly threads and more
They use `unsafe.Pointer`s under the hood, but I'm pretty sure that implementation detail is unrelated to the race condition (the issue with the race condition is that writes of these types aren't atomic so a concurrent thread that is reading the value could observe it in a partially-updated state (e.g., the pointer field has been updated but not the length field).
In the short amount of time people have been taking these vaccines, how much more data than a few months could they really be looking at, seriously ?
It may be worth keeping an open mind. Perhaps there are many other things which would make you happy if you tried them, and they may not cost a lot.

Lately I'm finding joy in all sorts of pursuits that I had never thought about. A willingness to try new things was necessary.
>she does not feel any sort of progress or growth on any level.

I think the flip side of this is that many people are so focused on progress and looking forward to the next goal line that they become unable to appreciate the moment and, ironically, happiness is always one more goal away. Recently, I’ve been reading books on Buddhism (specifically how it differs from many Western value systems) and it sheds some light on this. The same goes for the inability to be happy sans constant stimulation.
I'm not sure whether you can actually do that. The law works on provenance, not on bits.
I've seen a lot of artists that change either how their name is spelled or use a slightly differently name depending on the release. I've also seen some artists credit a song to be "X vs. Y", where X and Y were both different aliases of the same artist.

There's also artists that have many names that they perform under. The eurobeat scene is one that brings to mind immediately, since Giancarlo Pasquini aka Dave Rodgers also performs under the names "Derek Simon", "Robert Stone", "Patrick Hoolley", "Mario Ross", "Red Skins", "RCS", "Aleph", "The Big Brother" and "Thomas & Schubert".
A small technicality, but I don't think he ever released under the name "the artist formerly known as Prince" but as the Love Symbol [0]. An example album being the Gold Experience [1].

> If they had gone out and bought more cars, yachts, and real estate, that's money that goes into mature industries with efficient supply chains that support the livelihoods of many people.

The same can be said about rockets and spacecrafts. They also need an efficient supply chain that provides all the parts. Even if these billionaires failed, they would have spent the money to feed upstream industries. Furthermore, they are thinking to commercialize such travels in future. More jobs and a bigger market if succeeded.

How much time did you take off?

I have more projects than I would have time if I FIREd. I think the main thing is you have to be some form of maker, you can't be just a consumer.

I have so many things I want to build (eg my next vehicle conversion) and a lot of software projects. Then there's the list of things I'd like to learn and places I want to visit.

When my dad retired he actually got busier than when he worked full time. He literally has enough projects to last the rest of his life.
Yes, but why is it okay to approve this mRNA delivery system in a matter of months while the approval for these others require decades of test?

There's clearly inconsistency by the FDA here.
Good point. Looking at this, it seems that maybe you could build Earthly=>Gitlab with the current GL API. With "parent/child pipelines" [1] you can have step 1 generate the GL YAML for the rest of the graph, and then step 2 run that YAML.

One thing that might be needed on the Earthly side is some way to run only the named job, and fail if the deps aren't built ("pipeline mode"?) so that the downstream steps don't re-run the upstream ones. But feels like the model you're considering is actually close.

Anyway, glad to get validation that others are thinking this way, and I'll follow your project to see where you guys get to!

How long does it take?

I got sick of seeing two kinds of videos:

Being wealthy is like learning a favorite restaurant recipe. You start making the same food everyday, because you love it, so why not?

It doesn't take very long at all for the honeymoon to be over.

So what exactly was making you happy there, when you could only eat that meal occasionally in that restaurant? Was it really the food?
On bereavement, no, you didn't make any decision and the decision of the deceased is out of scope.

On taking care of a sick family member, no, your family member didn't choose to be ill.

These are both straw man arguments IMO.
As I've stated elsewhere in this thread, this is not true. It is quite possible to do actual damage to our future if we allow corporate monopolization of the resources or means of getting into space. Work like this is too important to leave to privatization, but funding of our space program has lagged so grossly that the only option left is billionaire charlatans who want to stake their claim on the stars in a race to monopolize the resources of space.
That's the whole point of RBA, though. That two requests have the same user agent doesn't tell me much, but if you have two different user agents from two different IPs that may sound really risky (use case dependent, of course).

You're getting downvoted because your post is the standard antivax trope of "just asking questions", which is ultimately FUD.

What you're actually doing is completely discounting possible long term effects from the choice to do nothing. Nobody has been a Covid-19 survivor for 3, 5 or 10 years, nor do we know the big picture epidemiological impact of unchecked Covid for 3, 5, or 10 years.

The only data we have is necessarily from the present. And here and now, it seems to indicate that getting vaccinated is a prudent thing to do.
That the Muse Group is asking for a CLA that permits them to use the code in future non-Free software is cause enough to fork the project and walk away from Audacity.

I've done open-everything exams (just no collaboration) and my experience was that it didn't change the mean grade, but it did increase the standard deviation. Students who were already mostly on top of the material could look things up and double-check their work, so their scores improved. Meanwhile, students who didn't really know what they needed to spent the whole time trying to find "the answer" in the book or online (and that's not the way programming tests work!), so in the end they either left the answer blank or put something totally nonsensical, copy-pasted off the internet. In a closed-book test, they would have at least tried to figure it out on their own, and maybe gotten a few partial-credit points.

But in spite of that simple logic, many here still think that Cory Doctorow and others like him [1] do not make the average user's internet access more costly. There's simply too much bandwidth and prices are artificially high!

There's always another possibility - they know what they're doing (manipulate users who subsidize their costs into supporting their cause) - but I hope the truth is they're simply clueless and don't understand economics.

This is super interesting and I have an immediate feature request. If we could use this to coordinate travel we'd be all over it. We're geographically disbursed and getting people together in the same city is valuable, but a pain.
This all makes sense if you are

- less than 18 years old. For everyone older, all countries in the world have come to the conclusion that vaccination is safer than staying without vaccination.

- only considering yourself and not the risk that you are part of the reason it spreads.

What lies at the foundation of all this is your distrust and I would suggest you consider how to deal with that. If you can't trust the media and governments (and you actually should trust them to a large part), how about following role-models or friends? Or best how about following data and science? If a whole nation such as Israel goes for a vaccine such as Pfizer don't you think they do their homework?

If we make the (strong) assumption that sleep is primarily a cognitive repair period, then maybe this isn't too surprising? It would be interesting to do the same study, but measuring cognitive ability instead of risk of death.

So many edge cases ...

If a performer changes to using a nickname, say from Robert Johnson to Bobby Johnson, should they be listed separately?

If a band keeps the same personnel, music, etc. and changes only its name? What if they change one person, and the name change is for intellectual property reasons (e.g., the departed person owns rights to the original name)? What if they also were an acoustic folk band and plug in, switching to rock? To jazz? What if everything changes - personnel, music, etc. - except for the name? What if they retroactively rename the band or music for intellectual property reasons?

... as with every attempt to specify reality.
But you’re ignoring the risk of these experimental vaccines. It is definitely well above zero, with around 6,000 deaths reported on the CDC website, not to mention many other adverse side effects.

Again, effective treatments (which have sadly been heavily suppressed for various reasons) greatly mitigate the need for vaccination.

If your concern is about a vulnerable individual, perhaps vaccination is for you. You could also consider a prophylactic drug (likely Ivermectin), or both.

Young people mostly get flu shots because a) they’ve been told to, and b) they don’t want to get a nasty illness. Same as older people for the most part.

Yeah, a lot of this tends to be "Let's try CNN on ... ", and it ends up doing about as well. It's bound to be a general purpose tool that's easy to use and doesn't require a classical approach.

Like RRTs instead of visibility graphs for regular-old polygonal environments. The RRT is just easier vs hand-tuning obstacle boundaries, etc.

I have some experience on this, as we are building a system like this with similar constraints, and there's really no "need" for anything other than classical control.
> A thing the FIRE community misses

Do they? I mean, no doubt individuals might miss this. I don't think "the community" misses this. Lots of people are very aware of how agency plays into life satisfaction. In fact, being compelled to work for someone and do what their boss tells them to do severely impedes their agency.

And a lot of post-FIRE reports are that money is much less of a concern than it ever was while working. Because once you are completely behind the wheel of your life, you often find work you really enjoy, that also happens to add some extra money to that nest egg. Most reports I've read indicate that money has actually grown while they were "retired." Even LivingAFi reports this:

> I still have an amazing stash of money. I mean, I was able to take close to five straight years off work and still have more than I started with, inflation-adjusted

He later explains going back to work in more detail:

> My fiancé is a librarian and she doesn’t make a ton of money. This drastically changes the early-retirement numbers for the two of us.

> Anyway — bottom line is that my own asset sheet funds the lion’s share of our future together.

> Additionally, I’m spending more than that 30K/yr I had estimated back in 2015. I’m at 40K now and we’ll be at 55K together I think, once we consolidate assets and buy a home.
I was exactly like this for a while, until I realized my happiness does not have to depend on anything. Like what the sibling comment says, if you keep an open mind and try things out, you'd be surprised to see what can help you achieve sustainable happiness.

Why is it okay to destroy someone's house with axes and water when it's on fire but otherwise it's illegal? There's clearly inconsistency by the fire department here.

Seriously, what other course of events do you propose should have happened? Vaccines couldn't have been developed before Covid-19 existed. Should we have just pretended that mRNA technology didn't exist, in favor of traditional approaches of making vaccines, and then rushed approval on those? It seems like that alternative has actually been explored by other countries and they're nowhere near as effective.
The whole point is that even with material support, people still need to live with spouse and kids, and having a regular work (not necessarily work for someone else), to have a happy life.

Yes, modern technology and economy makes it easier for you to live alone but it does not change the basic human needs. Eventually you will need a spouse (same or opposite sex), not just for the money, not for the sex, but for the intimacy. And you will want to have kids when you get older. And as other comments pointed out, you want to live with people who really cares about you and you care about them, i.e. your family.

There is nothing magic about this. Just some people realize this earlier than others.

That may be a reasonable decision as an individual. I disagree because I think the risks from the vaccines are near zero (not actually, but near), while here in the UK most hospital admissions now are young people so clearly the risk to them is not at all zero. Still, you'll probably be fine.

The problem with that calculation though is that it doesn't take into account the increased risk to other people. If you do catch it you'll become a vector for infecting other people, some of which might be a lot more vulnerable or less lucky than yourself. Even if you only pass it on to other younger people, the odds of someone having a bad reaction still go up with infections.

B2 was designed for backup storage, not being a fake hard drive. Even if it was, you would have a far better solution for dealing with latency and your data being in the clear if you would use `rclone`. Add the B2 storage backend, then a local cache to B2, then encryption to cache. You then get local performance from the cache, unlimited space from B2, and it becomes eventually consistent in the background.
We're actually working on a 2 dimensions Map (localization and time) so you can view who's going to be in which city in the future.

That’s true, and I’ll bet a lot of people know they should be investing, but don’t have the savings to do it. Employers should at minimum raise wages to keep up with inflation automatically but sadly I’m sure most just don’t care enough.
> For the average FIRE person working a $100-200K/year job, they might be better off scaling back to a sustainable 40hr/week job and making a point of taking vacations and doing activities in their off time.

Yes, I wish they would engage with how this fits into the rest of the Privacy Sandbox proposal (https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandb...). My understanding is it's:

1. Move entropy from "you get it by default" to "you have to ask for it".

2. Add new APIs that allow you to do things that previously exposed a lot of entropy in a more private way.

3. Add a budget for the total amount of entropy a site is allowed to get for a user, preventing identifying users across sites through fingerprinting.

Client hints are part of step #1. Not especially useful on its own, but when later combined with #3 sites now have a strong incentive to reduce what they ask for to just what they need.
