The most expensive energy would be Alaska and Hawaii for obvious reasons. California’s rates are similar to northeastern state rates (a bit lower than their average) but is definitely high for a western state that benefits from a lot of cheap hydro.
I guess it depends on the validity of the arguments put forth in Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death.

The important distinction between longevity and the situation surrounding the pandemic is not the rejection of a benefit, but the construction of a fantasy that allows the rejection of the benefit by re-framing it as a detriment. The pandemic itself is recast as 'not that bad' or a 'falsification', further removing the contemplation of the immediacy of death. And with the immediate obstacle removed the subject is able to slip back into fantasies of eternity, of one kind or another, whether implicit or explicit.

Considering how most Western societies (and many others) view suicide, it seems unlikely to me that it would be considered socially acceptable for someone to choose to live half as long as they had the technical option to. Taking the average age of death as 72, would the mental health of someone who chose to die at 36 from a preventable illness not be taken into question? As with sterilization, and other medical procedures such as birth control more broadly and assisted suicide for those suffering extreme medical conditions, bodily autonomy that runs against greater social expectation is resisted.

Or, if the technology had to be administered early, would those who withhold such treatment from their children be considered guilty of child abuse? Again, in current terms, if a child suffered from a medical condition that would kill them at 36, but which was treatable, would it seem likely that the parents, in our present society, would be charged with child abuse?

It's simply a matter of sliding the mark. Cultural attitudes could (and probably would) remain the same. Our fundamental fantasies already provide the basis for and are predicated on eternities. So the reality of longevity merely slots into extant dispositions. So it may not be as revolutionary as suspected.

There would, of course, be those who rejected the technology, but most would do so, I would say, because they believe themselves to possess an alternate way into eternity, perhaps religious, or to be abducted by aliens, but the goal would be the same, whether the efficacy is up to snuff or not.
Teletext is still popular in the some European countries. e.g. in prisons to send one way messages from families. For small amount of money you can buy an ad in the teletext and most of the prisoners here got access to the tv.

My comment was about using the term ‘courageous.’

The use of that term is just knee-jerk virtue signaling merely because it involved a gay guy.

Priests are to be celibate. If you don’t like the rules, don’t be a priest.

If it was a priest who got caught having sex with women he met on tinder and going to strip clubs, nobody would call him ‘courageous.’ They’d call him a bad priest... there’s nothing admirable about it.

But replace ‘tinder’ with ‘Grindr’ and ‘strip club’ with ‘gay bar’ and the dipshit priest is suddenly ‘courageous’?

Are adulterers ‘courageous’ for breaking their vows and cheating on their spouse?
It always was that for the vast majority of people.
Carmack has been pretty explicit that he is not, nor does he want to be, a manager (either in the executive sense, or the “technical lead” sense). He sees himself more as a senior craftsman.

For the whole US only 1.3% of people are employed directly on farms and for Utah the number is 1,442 or 0.04% of the population. [0] There are other places farms can be other than a desert. Some jobs have too big of an impact to just support endlessly simply because it's someone's job. These water intensive processes have massive impacts on the environment, look at the valley in California that's sunk 11 feet because of the immense amount of water that's been pulled out of the land.

Congrats on the launch.

The first thing I did was check if you are an MoR or a front for other payment gateways and quickly realised it is the latter. Please make it an MoR. We have too many digital goods/services payment processors (which I am sure many commenters have already listed) but very very few that are a full blown MoR. I don't mind paying 5%-8% fees for MoR. MoR is the selling point for me. Everything else can easily be achieved with Stripe and some coding. Not MoR. MoR requires a lot of setup but any Startup that can properly pull off an MoR specifically made for creators will take off big time IMHO.

For whatever reason best known to Startups in this space, they actively tend to avoid going the MoR route. Maybe it is the legal hassles of setting one up or complications with handling taxes across multiple regions. I don't know what exactly is the issue but a disruption is required here. I can literally count on my fingers the number of payment processors that are MoR. It is that low.

If you are a Startup that is in the payments space and want to truly reduce burden of Creators then it is not in the fees. It is in providing an MoR. I am honestly surprised to see payment startups fighting to lower fees (which probably isn't a concern for most) rather than innovating on and fixing real pain points of Creators. When I choose a payment processor I don't fixate only on the fees. That is probably my last priority. I have other factors that take precedence (the points are listed in order):

1. Are they an MoR? (If no, I just skip. It doesn't solve my pain point).

2. How do they handle chargebacks?

3. How do they handle scammers who misuse their services?

4. How do they handle Creator accounts? Do they have draconian policies where Creator accounts just get shutdown without proper notices?

5. How flexible is their payment schedule?

6. Do they support Wire transfers for payouts?

7. Pricing

As you can see, Pricing comes at the very bottom of the priorities I have set before choosing my payment processor. It is, in all aspects, a lifetime relationship. Why would I give more importance to pricing if you are solving my pain points? That is worth more than a few percentage points you shave off the price. I want Startups in this space to compete on the 6 points and give the 7th point a lower priority. Only those who are not exposed to this space tend to first go for point 7 but quickly realise they have to deal with taxes and other complex legal stuff and quit your service. You'll just end up having a higher churn rate and not so loyal customers.

Not taking anything away from your launch. Just providing some constructive feedback.
In the 1980s the company that owned the Chicago Sun-Times, Field Communications, tried to bootstrap Teletext (the BBC's "CeeFax" branded as "KeyFax") in the USA.

Their plan involved broadcasting read-only teletext on their company-owned UHF station after normal broadcasting hours.

They are not held to a higher standard.

But, they have certain rules they are to follow if they wish to be a priest. If you swear to follow the rules, you should do so. If not, quit. It had nothing to do with Catholicism. If you’re a Rabbi leading a synagogue you shouldn’t sneak off on the Sabbath and gorge on pork sandwiches. Nobody would call such a Rabbi ‘courageous.’ They’d call him a hypocrite.

Hell, it doesn’t even have to do with religion. If your job prohibits you from smoking marijuana, and you swear you won’t, nobody should call you ‘courageous’ if you’re busted smoking weed.
Yes, that is a valid point; for some applications, random access will be helpful.

One possibility is to make each file as a separate compression block, which is possible if using concatenatable compression formats; then, the same format can be used for solid and for non-solid compression.

However, then, you will need a index if you want random access. I don't know what compression formats have such a feature as a index, but I thought of some ideas of a (concatenatable) compression format; one possible thing to add is a optional index block (which links the compressed and uncompressed offsets of the beginning of blocks which do not depend on any previous blocks).

This looks like a great tool for learning. If this was self hosted, I would use it as an addition to a first-semester programming course in the university I work in right away!

However, I agree with the sentiments of some other posters that a SaaS model is simply a non-starter, for obvious reasons institutionally wise, but also for any personal use. I simply do not want to be tied to a particular service just to write a specific kind of post.

If there is a way to host this at the moment, please contact me if you want a test drive in a university context.
As someone who spent a ton of time playing UO, I really wish there had been a way to capture the experience of running various dungeons and hanging out in different towns c. 2000.

"institutionally locked velocity" is a great turn of phrase
The Noun Project has been really useful to me, especially for finding good icons with permissive licensing. I'm impressed at how well artists can express a concept with a few lines!

I've also thought about how to communicate actions, effectively making The Verb Project. Usually there's an input and output, sometimes storage or feedback loops too.

Most of my basic shell scripts are written to convert data from one format to another. I made a standard icon format: a diagonally-divided icon with the input on the top left, and the output on the bottom right.

For example, GPSToGalileo will take GPS coordinates as an input, generate a KML file, and open it with Galileo (Guru) offline maps. Or iMessageToCalendar. Or ClockBible. Or NotesToText.

Having designed icons, I then put them as links on my (jailbroken) iPhone homescreen, to trigger these scripts. Having an auto-generator for icons could make some command-line tools much more accessible for non-technical users.
What is your point? You are not comparing against the general population to see if there is a difference.

Also from the study:

> Such a low vaccine efficiency against infection by the Gamma variant was not expected because in vitro studies have shown a similar reduction of neutralization for Beta or Gamma variants by BNT162b2-elicited antibodies (5) and a conserved CD4+ T-cell response against spike proteins from the Beta variant (6).

So, no, this was not "business as usual", in fact the results are so shocking that the investigators wrote:

> Given the surprisingly high attack rate, we hypothesized potential dysfunctions of conservation or administration of vaccines, but the absence of traceable cold-chain interruption and the use of different batches seemed to refute this hypothesis.

So the study so far suggests that the Pfizer vaccines may well have an actual low effectivenes rate against this virus variant.

but...

The oil isn't turned into plastic[0], the petrochemicals used in plastic don't compete with fuel, it is a byproduct of the oil extraction and fracturing process[1] mostly from the lighter natural gas components I believe. The effect is likely the opposite of what you imagine it to be in your example.

Keep in mind that the price of fuel isn't the same as the price of crude, as the fuel is a separate commodity whose production is tied to refinement of crude, which is the primary commodity.

In fact, using this industrial byproduct to create plastic will reduce the cost of oil extraction. The transportation of the packaged good which are enabled by this ubiquitous packaging technology will now drive demand for transportation, in turn raising the price again. The cheapening of fuel and plastic packaged goods incentivizes further usage and investment, and so the wheels turn on ...

It gets much more complicated from there and also involves some missiles and ground-based radar systems.

I'm skeptical of miracle cures. The increases we've seen in life expectancy over the last 100+ years has more to do with eliminating low-hanging fruit - e.g. smoking, vaccines, eliminating infection, diagnostic technologies and treatments, etc. I think we'll continue to make incremental gains via this approach such that avg life expectancy inches up by single digits for the foreseeable future.
Nice idea. I won’t use it though because for me personally I don’t like following people in a firehose fashion, creating an endless stream of what are in effect todos.

The problem is syscall interfaces are facilitated through hardware circuits, and as such, you have to work with fixed-width integers. Not only that, but those integers usually have other requirements around alignment and endianness.

I have Starlink at my home located in a rural area where the only alternative is DSL at ~1.0MBPS average downlink. Using Starlink made it possible to actually do interactive work from the house without tethering to my spotty LTE service or traveling to a better location. My own experience is that the service has been quite reliable (often 12 hour stretches without an outage), but I do have unobstructed views of the sky. I do find that streaming audio/video can be glitchy and I usually have some kind of audio issues.

How fortunate they are that they do not need to impress you.

People investing $millions of their own money are generally able to afford, also, to hire competent people to evaluate the wisdom of their choices.

The medical research community as a whole is vastly superior at understanding the human body than either you or I. I lean heavily on current medical research consensus to form my views. Those views aren't static. They change over time as we hypothesize, study, and improve our understanding of the human body.

What we can't do is make unfounded statements like the author of the article. That leads to people who don't trust medicine or whatever trying these kind of things instead of just getting their kid a fucking inhaler.

I couldn't find where it talks about vaccinated patients in the study you linked.

It's not surprising that covid19 can cause brain damage (and heart damage, and death) to unvaccinated people.
In situations like these there's not really one manager, so who are you reprimanding? I'm sure there's failures all around. Seriously, blameless post mortems are a cultural thing you need to adopt. Reprimanding just instills fear which causes people to take actions that you don't want organizationally (shifting blame/responsibility, hiding issues, politicking etc). Better for people to just be proactive about when a problem exists & marshal your org to prevent such issues in the future. It's unlikely to be the cause of 1 individuals incompetence so any individual(s) you find to blame are just victims of circumstance.

Where you do want to reprimand is if the technical team was repeatedly raising concerns related to failures like this & their concerns weren't being addressed OR someone was being deceitful & hiding issues. That's about the only cases where you want to fire/replace anyone in my book.
Proof of that?
"Mine workers were mostly men (42/44); median age was 53.3 years. Eighteen of the workers had risk factors for severe COVID-19: high blood pressure (11/44), diabetes mellitus (4/44), or obesity (4/44)."

"The overall attack rate was 54.5% (24/44); 87% were symptomatic, 65% with fever, and 22.6% with dyspnea. No clinically severe COVID-19 (1) was observed, and no patient was hospitalized."

This make sense. If more severe variants are more damaging (i.e. more severe symptoms, death, etc.) they are less likely to persist. The less harmful variants are more likely to carry on.

At the extrene, for example, look at Ebola. It's quick and it's deadly. Consequently, it burns out. On the other hand, a longer asymptomatic incubation period - long enough to get on a plane - and Ebola is going to be big trouble.
