My biggest issue with apps like Duolingo is that they pretend learning a language is like a game. Effortless and easy.
In reality you need to have quite some motivation to learn every day for a few hours. You need to learn words and grammar by writing them down. Lots of times. You need to talk with people at least a few times per week. You need to repeat a lot. It's very hard work. And even then it takes most regular people about 2 to 4 years to get yourself to a level like my English (not fluent, but enough)

> Delta is confirmed to be more contagious and less deadly.

Sort of, delta is confirmed to be less contagious and less deadly among a (significantly) vaccinated population. It is probably more contagious than the initial variant among an unvaccinated population, yes. But whether or not its more or less deadly, or whether vaccines + improved treatments have reduced the severity/survivability isn't clear. So delta is less deadly in practice at a population level, but it might be more deadly in only the unvaccinated population, or the same, or less. We don't really know.
Meanwhile she had the privilege of having a private office where she had a nursery installed for her newborn child. Doubly toxic, both to every remote worker and to every parent who has to take care of their children without being able to install a creche in their own office.
The immersion is definitely the most valuable. Very few language apps can help you learn idioms or slang, even if they are in common usage.

Even if you were learning English, you are more likely to learn "that is very good" rather than "that is amazing" or "sweet!".

I think we also underestimate how much immersion forces us into thinking in the other language when we are surrounded by it, even passively. If you use English all the time and learn German for 2 hours per day, it's not even close to what it would be like living in Germany, even if you were speaking English there.
As a general rule of thumb, anyone who says you need to baby the pan and that the seasoning is "delicate", is wrong.

If it can't stand up to ordinary dish soap and even a bit of salt scrubbing to get out burnt bits, it is not properly polymerized and therefore not fit to cover the inside of my pan.

So keep using that pan, including washing it by hand, until a proper strong seasoning is achieved. Some things can't be rushed.

Where do we end this then? Do we continue implementing lockdowns, mask mandates, forced vaccinations with every ebbs and flow…

Or do we realize our urgent care infrastructure has enough capacity, deaths are down- zero on some days, vaccines are available for free for anyone that wants one, masks can be worn by anyone anywhere when they feel uncomfortable, and actually start promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Or do you want to be in a perpetual state of a government controlled health crisis

Every foreign language that I've learned (4 in total) I felt it's necessary to get basic vocabulary and grammar and then just try communicating it in. Obviously living with people surrounded by the language helps, I don't even know if 'remote' is possible. For that purpose duolingo is pretty good.

Google search seems to have gotten significantly worse lately (sometimes to the point that it's barely usable). From scams like these (I've seen others) somehow getting a foothold, to a lot of internal "unbiasing" skewing the results towards googles political stance (usually totally irrelevant to my query). It's gotten to the point that I barely google anymore other than for things I already know what the results will be.

There actually have been mRNA vaccine trials for more than a decade[0]. The thing about mRNA vaccines is that they have far fewer moving parts, so to speak, than conventional vaccines. So the mRNA vaccine for two different diseases will differ far less than two conventional vaccines for different diseases.

As I understand it, a reasonable comparison is between two mRNA vaccines and two flu vaccines from different years. So if you trust the 10 years of studies that don't show any long term negative effects, and you trust that the particular protein won't have long term ill effects (and, well, if it does, you'd also get them from the virus and probably worse), then the set of assumptions you need to make are relatively small, and essentially the same as the ones you'd make in getting any given flu vaccine.

So please also take the time to educate yourself before calling others "blind"!

> some unvaccinated idiot won himself a trip to the ICU

Don't know what it's like over in the US, but here in the UK 'the vaccinated' aren't some tiny percentage of hospitalisations. Actually, they're currently sitting around 40%, which means there's almost as much chance of your VACCINATED colleague "winning himself a trip to the ICU" as the unvaccinated. You might want to use the word 'idiot' more cautiously.

I found math concepts much easier to understand after seeing their application in engineering. Linear algebra and tensor calculus make sense when you study mechanics. Complex numbers make sense when you study electromagnetic fields and circuits. Differential equations are also way easier to understand when you use them in a real instead of an abstract problem.

If you are never going to get into these (or similar) fields, you should not worry.
For someone learning German as a foreign language separating the words would really help.

> “If vaccines are so safe, why does nobody take responsibility for the side-effects?”

Well in the case of the current one, it's because we really, really want them and the governments of the countries buying them are happy to waive liability in this case to combat a pandemic that's killed about 4 million people round the world.

Pharma companies that have managed to create something so useful in such a short time and at such a huge scale pretty much deserve to do well. I don't begrudge them a bit of a bonus off the back of this.
You get headlines like that in many years, newspapers love "hospital at brink of collapse" stories. Look at the archives of the last 10 years and you'll find it's a common theme. There are several tricks that can be used to generate them, for example in most hospitals ICU is a flexible designation and ICU capacity can be increased or lowered. It's inefficient to have empty ICU beds, so those units are very often "full" but it doesn't mean much.

Look at places like Sweden (fewest ICU beds in the EU, not overloaded), or Switzerland (one of the best staffed systems, also not overloaded). There are problems when bad management makes problems, as in any enterprise, which newspapers love to find, and sometimes they invent problems that don't really exist (finding a doctor who will say they're tired/burnt out/need money is the easiest thing in the world).

That's why it's better to look at the stats and dig into the system level causes of load issues, as you would with any IT system.

As for avoided: no, none of the measures implemented have had any impact. You can find proof of this in many forms, but the simplest is to look at places like the UK. They just removed a whole boatload of restrictions in the form of "freedom day" and cases fell off a cliff. Experts were left baffled because they had all been predicting a huge surge, although people who were actually looking at the data weren't baffled at all: the fall was predictable given the shape of the same wave in other countries + the assumption that restrictions were having no effect.
More interesting than the scripted responses some corporate lawyers came up with are the regulations imposed by Clarke County, and which don't seem like common sense to me:

"The vehicles used on the Loop system are in fact banned from using driver aids, with Clark County officially outlawing their use anywhere in and around the facility. Even common features like automatic emergency braking and lane keeping are required to be disabled."

Agreed and it’s the “we don’t really know” but we’re forcing the vaccine on everyone that’s the problem. What we do know is that vaccinated can still catch and spread covid. The stats of breakthrough cases are skewed due to the CDCs methodology of tracking covid infections among the vaccinated.

You can still do the sneaky thing to query the build graph and only get changes in the transitive dependencies. This is almost always far smaller than the entire range between good and bad. For fast tests, the cost of doing the dependency lookup can be not worth it, but if your bisection will take more than 10 minutes, it's probably worth the effort.

It's still a little more complicated because then you have to bisect over a list of changes and not a raw range, but still.

How is that different from a hosting provider that has to address legal complaints regarding spam, copyright infringement, etc. on their servers? Just like a hosting provider, they specifically have a relationship with the website owner to provide the reverse proxy service. It's not like they can say "we don't know who or how our service is being used".

It seems to me that if they want to be in this business they have to deal with these liabilities and complications, not hide behind some vague "our hands are tied" language.

a) Patents are alternative to trade secret.

b) Patents allow separation of innovation from manufacturing.

Maybe you are right, and George Washington and James Madison were wrong, but you need to make better argument considering all aspects, not just state your opinion as a fact.

To convince us from your viewpoint explain what Bell would have done differently without patents. Using only trade secrets. Would Bell Labs have done so extensive basic research? Secondly explain how you allow small inventors to exist without patent system.
If offshoring was going to be successful, it would have been at some point in the last thirty years.

Except that l/r is pronounced differently than most English speakers, the vowels aren't always pronounced yet take up time ("Nan desu ka" is almost always pronounced like "Nan dess ka", for example), and syllable accent is tone rather than volume for emphasis.

That sounds like a form of FOMO and they always think of only one way of trading this stock and that is buying it and holding it. Especially at these prices on the day of IPO.

There are larger investors and VCs that have participated in funding rounds that have more than 10x'ed their fundraising round before the IPO. Somebody has got to sell and take profit at some point.

I won't be surprised to see a small push higher then followed by some selling from the larger investors to contribute to the selling pressure of this stock.

It's the larger early investors and VCs that have the advantage of manipulating this stock on day 1 of IPO day, not a group of retail traders and they will end up holding the bag at a high price.

> Uh, yeah, no. I fully support my country's stance on this. We simply cannot afford to indemnify an multinational company from their own product.

Your choice then. In the EU and NA, wherever nations pride themselves on their vaccination drives, either the makers of the vaccines have been indemnified by law or everyone who wants the vaccine has to sign an indemnification clause before getting the vaccine. In Germany the latter is the case.

It is a highly rational concern to distrust highly experimental vaccines, which these vaccines all are. The question in the risk calculation is, can you afford to position yourself against a means that can lessen the impact of a highly damaging virus? Perhaps individuals should make that choice, if states don't want to.

Worth remembering that these drivers are just workers, so trying to catch them in a video saying something silly or off-script probably won't affect Boring or Tesla but it could result in some blowback for the driver for not learning her/his lines or trying harder to stick to the script.
