> That's if you release the methane, not if you burn

You're talking about a guy who is trapping methane that's already being released and burning it.
A modest proposal indeed.

I often wonder if, once the effects of climate change rack up a few million more dead, whether the people directly affected with nothing left to lose might go all Rambo on whatever responsible target of opportunity happens to be at hand. It certainly wouldn't take a $1m bounty. I suspect $1k would be just as effective in a couple of decades.
> For a good wee while now, AWS SSM (or AWS Systems Manager as I see they are calling it nowadays) has arguably been the most secure way to permit controlled and audited access to an EC2 instance.

SSM is definitely not the most secure way[0]. SSM is super complex and super-integrated into the rest of AWS, and also isn't cross-cloud to GCP, Azure, DO, etc, so now everyone needs an account just to log into a Linux server.

Worse, IAM roles are powerful but easy to misconfigure, and that's before getting into how hard they are to apply with any granularity because of the policy length limitations[1], so you're likely giving everyone access to log into every instance without even knowing it.

Reporting the Github accounts won't hurt. It will let Github admins look for a pattern of abuse and maybe block future leaks.
Except that Post-Viral Syndrome has been a thing since before Covid:

> Post-viral syndrome, or post-viral fatigue, refers to a sense of tiredness and weakness that lingers after a person has fought off a viral infection. It can arise even after common infections, such as the flu.

I'd argue against long/persistent polling. Webhooks allows for zero resource usage until a message needs to be delivered.
That's true, although it's also true of any `/events` endpoint that doesn't go back to the beginning of time. Stripe's endpoint only goes back 30 days, so you still need to solve for the initial state unless you have launch all of your desired functionality at the very beginning of your Stripe account!
You could check for T-cells at some point -- if you had Covid, they are measurable even after many months. In contrast, IgG titers show up in only ~80% and decline steadily. Excellent recent paper:

> Here, we investigated SARS-CoV-2 antibody and T cell responses in matched samples of COVID-19 convalescent individuals up to 6 months after infection. Longitudinal analysis revealed decreasing and stable spike- and nucleocapsid-specific antibody responses, respectively. In contrast, functional T cell responses remained robust, and even increased, in both frequency and intensity.

My claim is that the time it forces parents to leave work negatively impacts their career. Sure, you can get paid your same wage, but you miss out on promotion opportunities, new ventures launched by the company, valuable professional development, networking, etc. Sorry if that wasn't obvious.

My view on family leave was shifted by my first paternity leave, in which I happily took my state's fully funded paternity leave and realized... it was a waste of time and money. Don't get me wrong... I enjoyed it, but it was pretty obvious to me that I missed out on a lot of valuable time at my company and when new teams were started for new initiatives, the company was obviously going to choose people present at the company available to start the new work to lead the teams. No ones going to put the guy on paternity leave in charge of a team with a deliverable in a few months. And yet, when you get back to work, there's no guarantee there's going to be a similar business opportunity.

Thus it seems to me that the best way to move ahead in your career is to be 'in the game'.

Imagine this... Imagine if fathers had to withdraw all their investments for 14 weeks when they had a baby. In return, the government would guarantee preservation of their capital vis a vis inflation. Would we be surprised that they had less yield at the end of their life than childless men? of course not.

Professional life is similar. Time in the market is the biggest determinant of how high you'll get on the career ladder.

> How exactly does paid leave decrease the wage of familial bread winners?

By impacting the biggest determinant of wage growth -- promotions and experience.

> And how in the world is paying parents to spend time with their children making normal families “suffer”?

Because as the system plays out, and more and more parents take time off, the only people left are the single people or the childless, who have more access to professional development, more experience than the similar aged father/mother and thus get promoted more easily.

To me it seems like you are wedded to the idea of long paid paternity leave because it feels good. I mean... I agree, it sounds great. But I think the negative effects are too much, and very obvious if we're honest with ourselves and if more men honestly assessed the utility of their paternity leave.
Fair question -- I wasn't involved in the decision, but my understanding is that GitHub is relatively cheap if you're a C# shop (i.e. you're already paying MS for VS). We had to have some moving pain anyway as teams in different departments were using a variety of different git hosting solutions and there was a wish to consolidate.
Perhaps what we need is a dialect which compiles to typescript and supports (or better, enforces) the immutability you suggest.

I hear these stories and it makes me wonder if I somehow caught SARS way back in the early 2000s. Because these long symptoms people talk about were exactly what I felt back then.

There was some dramatic respiratory illness I got that took took months before I felt "like normal" again. I was a young teenager so I never felt like I needed to go to the emergency room. But the amount of time it took to recover back was insane.

I know I recovered by 6 months, but... yeah. That incident scared me for life. Sickness can be scary, not knowing if you'd ever get better from something...

I can't imagine the stress I'd feel today if some illness afflicted me for more than 6 months.
Impossible is a very strong word, there are samples of people from months before covid was identified in Wuhan that are under investigation. Not specifically in Japan, but it can't be ruled out with the current information.
USD is used for all the problems you mentioned.

But at least Bitcoin didn't go through a 5.4% inflation this year.

I'm sure people in Zimbabwe would rather try their luck with digital gold than trusting another government with another printable currency.
I believe one difference with Covid is that people often have issues across multiple organs (I believe this is because the virus binds to ACE2 receptors which are present over the body, not an expert though) whereas with flu/pnemuonia I think it's more likely to be just generic fatigue and lung capacity as longer term effects.

I think the sheer range of long lasting symptoms is quite unique to Covid, although other diseases like Ebola or Smallpox would leave more severe damage.

Yeah where I am boating, I have to go a couple hundred meters by foot to get to the water, so optimizing for weight was one of my primary design constraints. Also it was partially just out of interest to see how small I could go.

And I have been looking at RC motors! The main challenge there would be figuring out how to mount it - those are the skills I think I need to level up a little bit.
Sounds a bit like you'd like Tab Groups. I used Tab Groups extensively until that functionality was ripped out and put into a shitty, poorly maintained, broken add-on. A quick Ctrl+Shift+E and I could organize everything into work/research/gaming/wikis/whatever and quickly search all tabs or within a specific tab group to switch tabs. The add-on kind of works but isn't as feature complete and from my experience was pretty buggy and wouldn't properly maintain my groups between sessions sometimes.

Honestly web browsers have been in a steady decline for me ever since FF34~ish with the exception of better modern CSS/JS support. They kill features and functionality I use extensively and rarely provide any alternatives. Few of my browser extensions even work since FF killed off all old addons. It forced me to use Chrome and now Chrome is looking like they'll be killing off a good number of extensions I use in the near future. Can't have a browser for power-users because power-users don't make up enough market share. sigh
That depends. Does your org really want to pay for IT to support everyone? Or do they want selfservice systems that only need IT when something genuinely breaks?
This is interesting. I had forgotten all the changes they made. It makes perfect sense, especially for the parts that can't be seen.

I have a hard time saying it isn't "based on" the Elise because they look so similar but it's definitely more different than I suggested in my previous comment.
> If you are in IT support, it isn't your job to treat every colleague like a child who needs to learn. It's your job to serve others and remove any IT-related barriers to their productivity.

No, it isn't. If you do so, clients will start calling you even for minor issue that they can solve themself, just because it's more easy to have you do that, or it's faster, or they simply doesn't want to learn to do new things.

> Knowing they could call or text and have an immediate response is a huge boost to their productivity

To their productivity I don't completely agree, because they don't learn to solve the problem in case it happens again, to your productivity surely not, maybe you are busy doing something, and they keep calling you for trivial things that they can figure out themself.
Lambda was detected in August 2020, vaccination in Peru started in Feb 2021.
no. Unless the tree vaporizes or burns, none of it gets back into the air. It is for all intents and purposes a permanent lock up. Mankind is the gatekeeper of whether to unlock this carbon prison in our choice to burn oil or wood.

Trees aren't the complete solution and the reason why has nothing to do with the tree dying and releasing the carbon.

What's going on here is that plants are converting CO2 into mass. A tree that isn't growing isn't creating new mass and therefore isn't lowering carbon in the atmosphere.
I wonder if there is a way to poison an oil well, so that it becomes un-economical to purify. Chemical separation is obviously what the whole petrochemical industry is about, so maybe something like injecting radioactive material. Then you pay the well owner to poison and seal off their well.
I come from Morocco where web access is still spotty and everyone used web chat because it was possible to get wireless data affordably early on, not because SMS service was spotty.
> I started with a system where another team would publish data to us in an eventing architecture and would frequently publish corrupt data. It was my team’s responsibility to address anytime data was not ingested correctly into our system. As a result, we had floods of errors in our system. We tried asking them to stop and they said no.

In this particular instance, I would simply respond to the caller with an appropriate error code and be on my way. The other team should be responsible with dealing with such an issue. The writer implies they had no choice but I don’t buy it, if you design the system in such a way to not allow corrupt data to begin with, it becomes the callers responsibility to handle these issues.
Yea, you're right. I am reading the advocacy as "if you need real-time, then support long-polling."

I see the value in this, but I actually disagree with the article in terms of that being the best solution. Long-polling is significantly different than polling with a cursor offset and returning data, so you wouldn't shoe-horn that into an existing endpoint.

We have a system that pushes loads of messages (as in thousands a minute) and some consumer insists on using there http backend to push the messages to.
There system is down every once in a while for quite some time.
We're using an async queueing solution, but you can't keep those messages forever.
We sometimes have milions of messages for them in there queue's, which take up space...
If all of our consumers had those problems we would have to buy loads of storage..
We're simply dropping messages older than x, and have an endpoint that they can call to retreive the 'latest state of things'.
This way when they come back from a failure, they simply get the latest state, and then continue with updates from our end..
It's far from perfect, but it works really well.

I know the goal for most systems is just to be 'up to date'
Not to get the entire history.
So in most cases you don't need to stash all the messages, you just need to be able to retreive the latest state of stuff...
Living Carbon is doing something similar, working on quick-growing trees that take up enough metals from the soil to slow decomposition.

Those are symptoms of literally every airway infection known to man. Is is much, much, much more likely you had a flu/heavy cold instead of having Covid 1 month before the first public Chinese cases and 3 months before first European cases

I don't think GP was suggesting you were dumb, just trying to point out there's a lot of widespread respiratory illnesses with exactly the same symptoms that are endemic - not to say Covid isn't more severe at a population level, but that you can't really say with any kind of certainty based only on those symptoms that someone has Covid. A few years ago I had exactly these symptoms, plus a high fever, but in my case, it was probably the flu. it was awful - I didn't really get over it for several months.
Technically yes, you're assuming you need to do it in a Tech market - but you can do geographic arbitrage. Blood boy in emerging economies.

Ethical, eh.
Legal, sure in most countries you can grab blood, compensate blood and do whatever.

If ethics is the biggest barrier, makes you wonder.

One of the complexity of the polling approach on a consumer side is having a long running poller. This is trivial to do in Java apps - start a polling thread - but not so straight forward in case of PHP apps, for example. In that case you'd have to setup a cron job or a separate polling script under some sort of process supervisor like systemd to poll periodically/continuously.

I wonder if the two approaches could be combined to simplify things for consumer apps at the cost of slightly more complexity on the producer side? Instead of POSTing the actual event data to webhook, the producer just uses consumer's webhook to "poke" it - to tell the consumer app "hey, you have new events waiting for you". On receiving the poke the consumer endpoint handler/PHP script can just turn around and do a GET to "/event" with anything > last downloaded event id query. That way you don't have to support long polling on the producer's servers and it's not a big problem if consumer misses couple of webhook "pokes". The next time it does receive a webhook "poke" successfully, it will download all the events and be all caught up. If real time notifications are not strictly required then producer side can even run the webhook dispatching code on a scheduled basis to coalesce multiple events in a single "poke" to a consumer to be more efficient, if desired.

> why did my doctor tell me that viral respiratory diseases can last for many months in early 2019, when according to what I gather here, doctors are surprised that COVID may do the same?

I don't think most doctors are terribly surprised (at least not ones who have dealt with respiratory diseases before). The press, on the other hand, loves stories like these.
Just curious, how would you prefer to receive these notifications?
Some researchers are starting to think that the spike protein is the main contributor to this issue and not the virus itself, so if even if the virus is gone, the protein may still be present.
This article is premised on the incorrect strawman that webhooks are complicated because the consumer has an extra persisted message bus.

But if the producer retries and the consumer does not respond with 200 until it has processed the message, no consumer side message queue is needed, the consumer can rely on the producer to reach at-least-once delivery.

In both cases (webhooks and /events) storage is needed producer side, so nothing consequential has changed, only with /events you need long lived TCP connections which ties up (e.g. you can't do this on FaaS endpoints)

Functions as a service are absolutely ideal for low frequency webhook receivers. SO SO SO cheap.
Neither a bad experiment nor an unrepresentative sample will be helped by a larger sample size, though.
This is an example of attention, social media and science:

My anecodte. Last year I didn't get a bad infection and didn't get long covid.

My story is not interesting, no one wants to hear it and no one else will share their similar anecdotes.

I think it's an attention bias thing. I mean... when I found out about this phenomenon from my doctor, I was shocked -- how could people be walking around with these bad infections and just not be able to do anything about it. But then I realized that many people have medical things that I can't see that they just deal with. Like many people excrete their feces into a bag on their stomach. And some people have to inject hormones constantly.

It's just life, and you can't choose what cards you're dealt. I'm glad people are paying more attention to these disabilities (although I hesitate to even call them that), but on the other hand, we should be careful not too get drawn in simply because COVID is the current story du jour.

The particular FB group I'm in is called (creatively enough) "Long Covid Support Group", but a search there reveals there are many more.

My email is in my profile if you want to connect further over this. I consider myself mostly healed by this point (infected March 2020) and can share my vitamin regime (its efficacy is anecdotal, my sample size is 2) but I still have lingering health issues over a year later.
There are really only two ways this can go:

A. Browsers successfully reduce available entropy to where users cannot reliably be tracked across sites.

B. Browsers fail at this, and widely available JavaScript libraries allow cross-site tracking. If it's possible to extract enough bits, they will be extracted.

The thing is, if you can't get all the way to (A) then in removing bits you're just removing useful functionality and adding work for browser developers and web developers. Fighting fingerprinting is only worth it if you have a serious chance of getting to (A).

If you think (A) is off the table then I agree a regulatory solution is the best option. Even then, #1, as exemplified by UACH, is still helpful because it makes tracking more visible. If every piece of information you collect requires active work, instead of just receiving lots of bits by default, then it's much easier for external organizations to identify excessive collection.

2/3rds of the way through.

I'm glad myself and others point this out. I personally read the whole article.

Postdocs was only there to gauge what kind of peoples one can afford with that kind of money.

I am having daily heart palpitations and they are almost unbearable now. Sometimes I wake up and feel fine almost all day but not a day has gone by in the past two months where I don't have some kind of chest discomfort around my sternum/xiphoid process.

I have had a whole bunch of scans and everything is normal. I will be having an endoscopy next week to hopefully get to the bottom of it. I am 'hoping' it is something simple and obvious that they can treat. So far everything ends up being "well it's not $insertMedicalCondition so let's check for $insertSomeOtherMedicalCondition" :(
