I understand the theory.

The problem is I don't associate bed with anything other than sleep, I implemented that practice years ago.

Now I'm actually questioning it, I did a lot better when I could fall asleep watching boring documentaries on YouTube.

Now I watch documentaries until I get tired, but after getting up, going to the toilet, having a drink of water, brushing my teeth, all before hitting bed I'm wide awake again.

The article mentions receiving postcards and other information at the minor's home, which is presumably their guardian's home. Is the state of Tennessee not allowed to address children by their name when informing a household that a minor is due for a vaccine?

Trump has encouraged a general sentiment of opposition to experts, and he's been kind of lukewarm on promoting the vaccines compared to Democrat leaders.

Unfortunately, the GOP has increasingly embraced conspiratorial thinking, and that includes vaccine skepticism and hesitation.

Not exactly. I'm familiar with my former colleague's research and his firm's work. It was groundbreaking, novel work with high utility. He broke ground on an important, mostly-overlooked area of hardware security and built a world-class product.

The DARPA money and contracts were well-deserved and exactly the sort of research that government money should be going to.

What a fascinating response! I'd love it if you would answer a few follow-up questions...

You're aware that there ARE people who can't get vaccinated, due to age or immune status, right? If you transmit it to them and they get very sick or die, do you stand by your assertion that "that's life?"

I guess it's "OK" because nobody will be able to prove that you, specifically, were the selfish person who spread it?

I find it very interesting that you're willing to say that you're OK with other people dying purely because of your own selfishness, represented in a refusal to endure 60 seconds of pain and a potential day of fatigue and malaise. A lot of people would hide that sentiment, not even revealing it pseudonymously, for fear that others would think they're sociopaths. I guess that's what makes certain people such "independent free thinkers."
Relocating before hiring full-time employees is probably my best move.

What's awkward with covid right now is that even strong vaccination efforts (Israel, large US cities) will only hit 70%, rural areas worse, and developing countries at 15%. Suppressing covid over the past year means we now have a more transmissible, more deadly strain, the number of countries that successfully contained it is starting to look like New Zealand, and, my guess, masks won't be enough to stop it, this time, at least to a degree that doesn't severely limit society.

If you're a developed country swimming in vaccines like the US, do you let the delta strain go for it? Drawing it out with lockdows only makes the vaccine less effective, and once you lock down, it becomes clear there is no exist strategy. What if you're a large city with 80% vaccination rates? Will there be anger over preventable lockdowns? What if you're facing a recall election?

What if you're Europe, have moderate vaccine coverage, but likely won't be able to vaccinate to herd immunity for the same reasons as the US?

In hindsight, knowing the virus would be 2.5x worse in a year and a half and half your population would have no interest in the vaccine, should you have let it spread?
Well, you had to wonder when that 5nm advantage was going to take it's toll. Considering that they spent almost an entire node and a half on increasing efficiency, it's unlikely that they'll be selling pro hardware until they can can get their hands on 3nm silicon: without some increase in chip density, they're going to continue to languish in M1 elo-hell.
Thanks for the link! That is informative.

Then it would seem to come down to this section:

"Tennessee county health departments follow Tennessee law and provide medical
treatment and vaccinations to patients as young as 14 without parental consent if the individual provider determines that the patient meets the definition of a “mature minor” in accordance with Tennessee law."

and what normally constitutes a healthcare professional making that evaluation. If it normally takes that kid's family doctor/PA who has a long standing relationship, access to medical history, etc, then changing from that standard is challenging.

Stepping outside of precedents is hard and risky.

This is a bad attitude to hold. Despite common opinion, most IT departments are just trying to meet their own objectives and requirements and are not deliberately trying to frustrate the users under their care.

>Everytime you are going to stop me from writing queries to your server or add more security that makes it harder to do my job without sufficient support to rightfully get through that security,

I would sincerely hope someone in finance would understand separation of duties and generally that being able to arbitrarily manipulate a database without any controls is a bad idea. Especially if it holds business-critical financial data.

> or deny me the ability to download legit software from the likes of Microsoft and other reputable vendors because you have some ridiculous amount of red tape

There is no absolutely zero reason why ordinary users should have administrative control over their workstations in a corporate environment. It's been considered a worst practice for several decades, pretty much every IT framework forbids it, and it genuinely prevents a vast swathe of issues and limits the scope of damage if something does occur.
It also doesn't matter who the vendor is, installing updates without testing to see if they're compatible with your environment is a sure-fire way to break things (and believe me, just because they're big like Microsoft doesn't mean their quality control isn't garbage).

> because you have some ridiculous amount of red tape, I’m absolutely going to question every dollar and be skeptical of how the funding is going to help me or my partners in HR, Sales, Supply Chain etc.
> If your projects help me, and you help me, I’m definitely willing to help you more and fight for you and your budget.

Sometimes IT are required to undertake projects that disrupt or inconvenience other parts of the business, but the reverse is often true. That's just how things go sometimes. Instead of becoming antagonistic, why not talk to IT and try and find out why something is happening and work with IT to solve it? It will be more productive in the long run.
They did not end advertising to minors. They also ended using school facilities for vaccination events, and at least some kinds of advertising aimed at parents. This decision is crazy and unjustifiable.

Yes, this. The high-end M1 iMac shipped with a cooling system more powerful than the M1 can possibly benefit from, and everyone was sure a new MacBook Pro was coming by WWDC. The chip shortage seems like the most likely explanation for both.
> Nope. Again, this is science.

Your turn to demonstrate your science. Please, procure a paper that supports your point of view and simultaneously satisfies your requirements.

Science is not a black and white issue. There are "cheaper science" (surveys and other "lesser" studies), and there's "expensive science" (10,000+ experiments with control groups). Both are science.

But what you're doing isn't science at all. You're just shitting on other people's work without showing what you actually like. The papers I pointed out are in respected journals and respected methodologies, albeit cheaper than what you want.

But given your "standards", I'm convinced that the "studies" you want simply don't exist, either on my side of the argument nor on yours.
Except the "scientific method" has become untrustworthy and all about money and politics any way you want to look at it.

We can talk about drugs that don't work, there are several. Here is the latest article: https://www.statnews.com/2021/06/10/third-member-of-fda-expe...

but several exist for depression, TAMIFLU, a cancer drug, and so many other things that don't really work.

And if you didn't know, the FDA doesn't test the drugs, the drug companies hire an outside company which wants their continued business. I'll never forget a drug rep that came out and said that they cheated on testing for an antidepressant.

Lets not forget JUUL buying a whole issue of a scientific journal and filling it with lies or how smoking is good for you.

Oh yeah and according to leftists everything is racists like freeways and math. Yeah keep trusting them. Every one of their (leftist) studies is a lie.
Israel actually supported Iran during Iran-Iraq war. The US at that point was supporting Iraq.

It is really only once Iraq was defeated, that Israel turned hard against Iran. Israel is simply always against the biggest potential power in the middle east.

Iran has multiple times put these things up for negotiation but the US has systematically refused such attempts.
For now? Everyone, because they are saying the exact same thing, but people/media focus on one aspect.

Current consensus is that vaccines are very effective, at least for 6 months, probably a year or more; however, chances are we will need booster shots, we don't know when. People at higher risk will probably need them sooner. If worse variants develop, we will all need them sooner.

Depending on how the question is asked, or who is writing the headline, they will either emphasize 'probably needed' or 'not yet'.
It's interesting that even six months since he left office you're still searching for reasons to blame him. But to answer your question - some people are distrustful of the government. I think even the most tankie pro-government-interverntionalists will recognize the United States Federal Government does not have a clean slate record. These distrusting people tend to vote towards the party or group that markets itself as small government (regardless of actual voting history or policy). If you want to tie that to President Trump, he did run on "draining the swamp" of the corrupt people in said government.

Realistically, though, it has little to do with him. He was a symptom, not a cause.
> The school is exploiting the Ivy brand, the NYC location and talent, and legions of students desperate to stand out…

Sharp analysis. For film, an NYU degree is less bad (I hesitate to say “better”) bc at least you’re in the village, where some of the art scene still remains, rather than stuck in the boonies uptown.

But the real issue is that a masters in the humanities is only for the independently wealthy. In particular the MFA gets you a pan unpaid internship at a gallery where they home you’ll bring in your parents’ wealthy friends. In that regard not that different from the private banking business.
It looks cool, and that's the only nice thing you can possibly say about it.
Student loan forgiveness is a mainstream topic. Biden is supporting cancelling $10,000 of federal student loan debt per person. On the other hand eliminating student loans, or even a segment of student loans (as GGP suggested) is not something you will see proposed outside of Reason Magazine or a Ron Paul newsletter. Any possible reform you could make will inevitably reduce the amount of income taken in by academia, a notoriously politically active bunch. So I foresee only indefinite band-aid solutions going forward.

I seriously doubt Apple would take such a big step as switch cpu architecture, if they didn’t already know how to make the first few cpu generations. That would be way too risky. If I were Tim, I would have needed a 5-10 year detailed road map from the chip-designers before making this step.

The idea that Apple made the m1, and somehow got stuck now is a bit silly. Most likely, they know what they are doing. They might hit unexpected problems 3-4 years from now, but not right now.

The m1x and m2 will only be incremental steps forward. That’s how the A-series have progressed, and that’s fine.
There are many.

A simple example is solubility. Molecules with amines generally are soluble in acid. Molecules with carboxylic acid groups are usually soluble in base. Molecules with flexible hydrocarbon chains tend to be soluble in oils. Molecules with lots of polar groups tend to be soluble in water. Large, rigid molecules are rarely soluble in anything.

Trained chemists can do this sort of thing with specialized properties (such as metabolic stability, brain penetrating ability, and oral bioavailability) as well, although success depends on specifics.
More like end with finance. It's inevitable if you are successful. Why build it if you can buy it? Save. Just don't loose money. Finance is not what most people think. Frugal. Charitable.
In Riemannian geometry (i.e. GR) each point has some local invariants associated to it, a famous one being curvature. "Local" here means that it only depends on the metric in an arbitrarily small disc/ball around the point. So the answer is no, in GR you can't always change coordinates so that space is locally flat. (This is in contrast to symplectic geometry for example, where each point does look locally like the model space).
I could make the same amount of money anywhere with internet at this point, so there's no obvious place to move in particular. I loved the idea of hitting the West Coast until the smoke of the last few years caused me to reconsider.

First of all, the advice in the article is valuable.

But the reader does not see the title of an article in the context of the not-read-yet article, so if it’s generally false, then it’s false. And “pretty much anywhere” is not true either; if I forwarded all mail to my own server, nobody would know about it but me. But no harm done. Personally, I’m not as offended as some seem to be about clickbait.
Hmm. Not very interesting take. First, the M1 is the 12th chip design in the Apple Silicon series (excluding the X variants). They have cranked out a more capable, higher performing, lower power chip every year since 2010.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_silicon

Second, it's not about clock rate. That is only one small part of the story. It is really about instructions per cycle per core. Apple is killing it on that front and running wider at lower rates is a big part of how they are outperforming in performance per watt while still winning in single core performance. We may see some clock rate increase in an M2, but I suspect their basic design philosophy won't change. It is just working too well.

For the curious, see https://travisdowns.github.io/blog/2019/06/11/speed-limits.h....

That table shows that the M1 has a much bigger reorder buffer, large load and store buffers, huge integer and vector register files, way more branches in flight, etc. By eschewing high clock rates, they are able to really go after massive concurrency at the hardware level in a single core. 7 simultaneous integer operations, 4 simultaneous floating point, multiple load and store. It's a beast.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16226/apple-silicon-m1-a14-de...

Of course they will come out with an M2 soon. They've been doing this year after year for over a decade.

> Minors can't legally give consent, therefore asking them to is likely illegal.

Minors can legally give consent to lots of things; the precise scope varies among jurisdictions. Notably, in Tennessee (see citation in toepfactory’s sibling comment), for most medical procedures including vaccinations, minors 14 and up presumptively have the capacity to consent and parental consent is not required.

> Like it or not, it sounds like sensible legal reasoning.

You’ve created a superficially attractive chain of reasoning beginning with false premises.
Homebrew's repos are pretty lacking compared to most modern distros I've used, but if you haven't tried pacman on Arch, you're missing out. It will blow Homebrew out of the water.
They address that pretty clearly:

> Postcards will still be sent to adults, but teens will be excluded from the mailing list so the postcards are not “potentially interpreted as solicitation to minors,” the report states.

I'm not sure about what the state of Tennessee is allowed to do but our pediatrician addresses reminders, calls, etc to the parents, not the children. Because again, kids can't consent but I can and do on their behalf.
>The USA sends in some aid for the Queen ... That is exactly what happened in Iran

This seem disingenuous as you completely remove the motivations of the actors. You forgot the part where the US bribes the queen to dissolve the parliament so that Boris doesn't nationalize British Petroleum. That's a HUGE detail that you are handwaving away.

So yes, if the US bribed the queen to dissolve parliament because the people of UK democratically decided to nationalize BP, that would be a very bad thing even though the queen "has the absolute right to do" so.

> Anyhow, it’d be really surprising if Apple managed to get ahead of GPU makers like NVidia.

I disagree and I think that based on what we've seen with the current constraints (fanless etc.) actually Apple can come out with some very competitive products in the pro/desktop/larger-laptops space.

In fact, I also think that probably the GPU will be the main differentiator between low-end and high-end Apple silicon models.

I think it's more useful to look at propaganda channels that have wide reach, rather than Trump. For example, Tucker Carlson is doing full-on death cult antivax.
Universities will enter a period of consolidation. Many will shut down entirely but some will merge with larger fish. Highly motivated individuals will eventually be able to get their foot in the door to corporations via YouTube learning, IQ tests or replacements (SATs), provable signals like acceptance to the (remaining) good schools, and whatever else pops up that can distinguish people. The private sector is the first to realize what bullshit is happening because of their profit requirement, so as the university system falters they will be actively promoting its replacement.

I agree that separating the rich from the poor will continue to be an important function. Frats and other social clubs are proxies for wealth. I think simply that getting access to certain schools will be limited by wealth via the restriction on loans to certain schools and majors, and the academic world will revert to an earlier time of privilege.
