What point are you trying to make by linking that post? It's not even about the same subject. There may very well be not very much information supporting covid passes for restaurants, but what does that have to do with covid vaccinations? There is an enormous amount of information there.

E.g. here is a point you made that doesn't even remotely apply here:

> If you do an experiment that very few people in the world is able to replicate, because it is hard or due to lack of resources, then the rest of the world have to trust you.

These vaccines have been taken by _millions_ of people. They have been given by many different independent organizations. So yeah this doesn't even apply at all.

> The trust of people should be won, research by research, not authority by authority, and the non-requirement of mandates goes along automatically with that idea.

Essentially all the research points towards the vaccines being much much better than the disease. It's your choice to stick your head in the sand if you so wish, but no one need respect your decision. You're not somehow wise simply due to your being contrarian.
I find I resolve a lot of problems by speaking about them to someone, I think that is a big part of this.
We think that we think alone like a computer, but when we are stuck we often need to talk it through to someone.

Yes - the new Pi Pico and its RP2040 family are more comparable to the ESP32, though it's a bit of a shame the Pico boards currently out don't have any wireless connectivity options.
> Not blindly trusting governments, media and big pharma however doesn't sound crazy to me.

> As for media: how anyone here can trust anyone of them blindly is beyond me.

I think this is a problem in our current society, rightly or wrongly a lot of people don't trust government or many mainstream information resources, but unfortunately instead of becoming rationally sceptic, a lot go over to blatant misinformation and conspiracy.
I building an microblogging tool for company internal communication.

One thought I had, was, enforcing a delay for every message written.

But I don't know if I choose one or ten minutes, or if it's a good idea at all.

Or if I should just impose a fequency, like times a day new messages, etc

The idea I had was something like in the "Do nothing" article here.

People could write messages and might even delete them a few minutes later, because they solved themselves.

Also, it would remove "emergencies" communication from the timelines.
How does it apply in this case?

The "truelesbians" subreddit wanted a place where biological females could discuss lesbian issues with biological females. This was not allowed by Reddit.

The "lesbians" subreddit is a place where exclusively biological females are portrayed in sexually stimulating activity with each other (mostly for male subscribers to ejaculate to). This is allowed by Reddit.

Both of these involve discrimination against so-called 'male lesbians'. The difference seems to be that the male gaze is of more importance to Reddit than female speech.
Did the comment change? It reads "it's easier" rather than "the easiest".
This is ridiculous. The body as anything in nature is always struggling to stay in balance. To maintain this balance it had millions of years of evolution to optimize strategies that counteract external and internals effects. But in general the chances are much higher for a neutral/bad result in case of an external intervention for which our body was never put in contact before (not even in past generations as in the case of lipid nano particles).

In general people hates to accept that not everyone reasons in the same way. Many societies aren't as trustworthy as you are to whatever decision is taken by their elites (being either for historical or cultural reasons).
You need to accept that many would consider something in front of them poisonous until the contrary is proven (as opposed to more trustworthy people who sees everything safe until proven poisonous).
That's a shame, my personal perspective is so long as the question is thoughtful its fine. I sometimes get people commenting "whats this" on a random line and I haven't got time for that (unless its blatantly obvious what they mean), but if you were to ask "Why are you using X, I'm not sure I understand" I would be happy to answer it and walk you through it, you never know maybe we could both learn something.

People are always busy but as a senior engineer I see teaching/helping junior engineers as a big part of the Job and so long as they are willing to put in some effort and think about it I am happy to give up some time to help.
Yet I don't care about your health, education, safety.. Let's just agree that public money should be spent on public interests.

Maternal leave is not to "pop out" more children, but to give them the care and upbringing they need.

Having children is not a personal lifestyle choice, it's a basic human needs. Otherwise we won't exist.
Interesting. This was the first thing that I though, too.

All that seems to be missing is some proper motion planning. I wonder if the limited on-board compute capabilities would allow for this.
Searching for the terms "secu" and "safe" doesn't yield any results. I know this is more of an art project, but in a photo he's driving through a city. What are the security implications of this?

Indeed, and these stand out. The current vaccination run is under constant, global scrutiny though, so I would hope that such things are unlikely to sneak through this time.
some questions:

- on which dataset was it trained?

- how big is the model?

and finally: can one compare the result to just picking the closest faces from the training set?

This seems to imply a need for GPL4: its purpose would be to infect code that was written by a bot that learned from GPL4 code. Otherwise this can be used to circumvent all except the most lenient free software licences.

I would say that GPL3 already probably does that, which means that nobody should be using this for actual code (except if it's GPL3). But it might be helpful to be explicit about this.

> they even go out of their way to seperate audio and video requests

Just to give them the benefit of the doubt, many video sites do this (YT being the biggest). It allows you to change the video source on the fly (changing the bitrate for example) without effecting the audio playback so preventing any audio glitches during the swap. People are a lot more forgiving of video artifacts then they are of audio glitches. It also allows you to have a lower bitrate copy of the original video for mobile playback without having duplicate copies of the audio.

So maybe thats why they do it and not some evil plan to annoy you from saving the video (Tools like youtube-dl will happily merge the video and audio into a single container after downloading both pieces of the puzzle).

Although, I don't use reddit anymore, I gave it up a few years ago, so maybe they have gone completely evil and the video/video track splitting is simply to annoy hotlinkers (I know they have been throwing more and more dark patterns in to their redesign, the redesign was basically the kick I needed to quit that habbit). Just giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one for now as there are legit reasons to do it.

EDIT: 1) My ref to youtube-dl is about how it will merge the 2 after giving it a single YT URL. No idea if it works on reddit, but as it works on a number of sites I wouldn't be surprised if it also works on reddit (its been years since I've been on reddit in any meaningful way, so never had the urge to try).

2) ffmpeg and avconv will merge pretty much any audio track with any video track you throw at it into a single container without the need re-encode the video. In fact iirc I think those are the tools youtube-dl will use to merge the tracks after downloading content from YT.

3) as for annoying hotlinkers, there are (imo) better ways to annoy hotlinkers then spliting the audio/video tracks. Personally my fav way is to replace the video being served to the client with a copy of Never Gonna Give You Up serverside after the hotlinking is detected - but serving the orig video when its not hotlinked, but I'm a dick :-P (a more sane and polite way would be to simpy not serve any video at all, saves wasting bandwidth).

Water is the biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect (~60% of the total), but that's because it's the most abundant by far (wikipedia indicates about 0.25% globally [0], by mass, which translates to something like half a percent by volume; meanwhile CO2 is 0.04% and CH4 is 0.0002% by volume). And as others mentioned, it's mostly not human-generated, and it stays in the air for a much shorter period of time (on the order of days instead of years or centuries because of a localized phenomenon called, um, rain).

Methane, on the other hand, is much more than 2x as potent as CO2 (estimates range from 21x to 40x the warming effect over the span of 100 years, but most are centered around 25x, when taking into consideration that that methane's atmospheric lifetime is only ~12 years).

You could argue that there's a 3x multiplier in the comparable difference in weight, but you've still got an 8x multiplier. Even if we assume that CO2 and H2O are comparable in terms of warming potential by volume (it's hard to measure H2O for various reasons), there's still a 3x multiplier over that 100-year period, compared to 1x CO2 and 2x H2O.

Why would some molecules be more potent than others? It's a matter of the infrared wavelengths they absorb, but in particular how they cover the spectrum relative to other atmospheric gases. CO2 absorbs strongly in parts of the spectrum that H2O absorbs more weakly, and CH4 absorbs strongly in parts that aren't covered by either CO2 or H2O [2].

>The news model: journalists discover "news facts" which they make into "news stories" that can hold reader attention.

>If Google collects all "news facts" in one place with their own ads, they are benefiting from journalists while undercutting the newspapers.

If "news facts" is the framework for the proposed logic of compensation, it is being applied inconsistently.

Consider the final result of 2 professional soccer teams playing a game: FC Barcelona beats Real Madrid 2-1. The "facts" were generated by the players + the referee + the official scorekeeper, etc. A French newspaper reports on it:
https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/direct-suivez-le-c...

Using first principles of "facts generation", should the French newspaper be required by Spain to share a portion of the ad revenue to each soccer team and La Liga league? If no, why is that not hypocritical?

Same as Ryanair announces a new airline route and French newspapers report it. It doesn't mean French publishers should pay some of their ad money to Ryanair.

Likewise, if Google issues a press release saying the next "Pixel 7 phone will be available October 2021" and French newspapers report that fact, it doesn't mean they should owe Google money just because Google produced that headline.

Newspapers have traditionally benefited from headlines being generated by the entire world and they get ad money for it without paying the sources of those headlines.

If Google did include article snippets beyond the headlines, that seemed like a reasonable threshold to pay license fees to French newspapers. Otherwise, a pure headline display is a symbiotic relationship similar to the symbioses newspapers enjoyed with sports reporting, Hollywood celebrities, corporate press release announcements, etc. The newspapers want Google to pay for something the newspapers themselves don't want to pay for.
I mean it basically _has_ to be true. We all have different bodies. We are have different levels of health. We are of different ages. I find the question highly interesting as well and it might very well be that you or I never will get the disease regardless of vaccination. In fact I hope that that's the case for both of us. But it doesn't change the fact that it isn't reasonable to assume it's true just by our experiences. There are probably an enormous number of people just like us that one day get covid after a year of presumed exposures.

No, but I think my original comment perhaps did not necessarily apply to circumstances described by the OP comment.

I agree that is the deal I'd like to live with.
The problem is that most of countries don't offer such a deal, and are not rushing to change. Powers won't give away their coercive power, the populace doesn't want to pay the price of fighting for the transformation.
It is a need I don't have. I am fine with others not caring about my needs, either.
I'm on the leave right now! I am writing this comment with my baby daughter on my lap, and it’s not easy - sorry for the typos (oh boy, do babies love grabbing the phone).
Automattic (The company I work for) offers six months of paid parental leave regardless of gender. Both my wife and I work there, and she just finished her parental leave. I decided to take the full six months right after. I have to admit to some reservations because I am a team lead, so I was worried it would hurt my career, or the work that we’re doing (and I’m pretty proud of) won’t be there anymore when I’m back. But then my baby daughter is the most important thing in my life, and this is the only opportunity to spend so much time with her. I did some mental accounting, and here’s why I think going on parental leave is good for everybody:

- Antifragility: it’s the same case as with sabbaticals. Nobody should be irreplaceable, and forcing the company to be without kohl’s decision-makers for extended periods reduces the bus count factor. I had to put a lot of work to make the system more robust and documented so it won’t break in my absence.

- The inevitable parental leave forced me to delegate much more than I would be otherwise comfortable with. After all - my team would stay without me for a long time so I had to make sure I’m not a blocker.

- When you’re an individual contributor seeing your "superior" postpone or cut short the parental leave or a sabbatical sends a clear signal that you shouldn’t be taking one either. I was thinking of cutting my parental leave short to for example four months, but that would send a signal that that’s not important. I don’t wanna set an example of a bullshit hustle culture.

- The imminent parental leave made me focus on high leverage long-term important work vs short-term day-to-day business. That focus has actually been a force multiplier for everything I did. When you have unbounded time due to Parkinson’s law the stuff you have to do will fill it up. If you have limited time to do something you will be much more productive. If you need something done, ask a busy person.

- I also don’t want to contribute to the world where the freaking work is more important than a child.

Despite all those great reasons I still had some reservations before taking before six months off. I had a nagging feeling on the back of my head that I may be should cut this a little short, despite EVERYBODY (including my lead, HR, and CEO in the DMs) convincing me to take as much as I need, so I see how hard of a decision can it be for somebody less supported. I am two weeks in and I am very happy that they took the whole time. I've written about my plans for this time here: https://piszek.com/2021/07/10/parental-leave/
> By the way, something related: I cannot get a job because I am not vaccinated. No one cares here about people who cannot get vaccinated for health reasons. It is tough.

I _do_ care. Which is why I find those who choose unnecessarily not to get the vaccine for unspecified and irrational fears all the more unforgivable. Their selfish irrationality is despicable.
Forcing a few million extra doses to a bunch of western skeptics won't compensate the fact that there are billions of people that will never have access to the vaccines. If it is true that only unvaccinated people generates new dangerous versions of the virus (which is completely false since leaky vaccines can cause enhanced versions of the virus), you will never be really protected, even if every western country makes it mandatory.
Downplaying the side effects is always a negative, people should be informed.

The fear is that people are irrational, and when informed will overreact and not get vaccinated. This fear is not unfounded, so they downplay the side effects. Then people notice this downplaying, lose confidence anyway, and don't get vaccinated.

It's a bizarre and ridiculous game.
The more progressive states do have government funded parental leave, but it is not much compared to other countries. The west coast states and the northeast states offer paid parental leave, and the amount you get partially depends on what you used to earn (and hence contributed to the parental leave taxes). You get 18 to 20 weeks off after the baby is born within the first year of life, generally.

> We have 30+ years of the world wide web being built on referred url links (with no snippets) without monetary payment but now French news organizations want compensation for it.

An injustice existing for a long time does not mean it should continue unabated. Google and Facebook have profited from the work of news organizations and contributed little back. And the way they display snippets, unfortunately, often prevents news orgs from capturing that revenue.
Yes. We partner with logistics companies and independent van drivers but we influence the KPIs and compensations of the delivery associates
So viddit.red is it then.
It might be genetic as no one on my mother's side got COVID-19, and a lot of family members on my dad's side got it. It is interesting. Even my dad's mother got it and they do not visit anyone nor get visited, only the GP visited them to give them the vaccine, and they got COVID-19 a week later.

Better to over-communicate and let others know what you're up to than to stay silent and do nothing
A lot of times, people ask questions before they even know what they are trying to accomplish. Give them 5 minutes, and they may solve their own problem, which is a win-win.
The alternative is to have a set of managers write prose about how good or not their people are, make vague proposal for raises, to have them approved or not depending on how liked they are by their own managers.

It more or less works, but getting a raise/bonus or not just feels like playing blind bingo most of the time. I once had a manager explain that regardless of the actual project results, because the product people felt stressed and unsure of delivery he wouldn’t give good ratings to the team members. Fighting it back we were just told that he was the one in charge of the criteria.

Career frameworks are vague and there’s still tons of politics in applying it, but at least you have a fighting chance to argue about what you were expected to do, what you did, and about how much you should receive accordingly (these levels are usually associated with salary/bonus scales)

PS: to address the obvious point, if one is constantly fighting, leaving for a better place is the best option, but in a large enough company you could instead change manager. Having a grid setting where you stand in the org also help these horizontal moves.
This guy is clearly a modern wizard.
