I was looking at page 36 in JPM's Guide to the Markets [1] the other day. Looks like nuclear is getting more expensive, coal/gas laying flat, and solar/wind dropping in price. Oil and hydro are missing, but make a cameo on page 60. I can understand solar/wind being favored right now. Also curious about wave energy, which is often announced, but AFAIK has limited use.

I'm guessing this is something about regulations increasing costs for nuclear, but does anyone know what happened?

What do you think of abortion? I agree about body autonomy but it frustrates me to no end to see woman asking for this basic right, even when their lives depend on it and it being denied, sterilization is also not easy to obtain for a woman.

But then comes someone who is scared about potential side effects to a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic crisis, so much so that they're willing to risk their peers and they cover themselves with "body autonomy" arguments, we already live in a country where people don't have body autonomy, it just does not affect you, until now.
Not rare at all.

Of course the first two things do sometimes happen to people. But people in a psychotic state very frequently think they're happening when they actually aren't happening. A high percentage of them believe it, but out of that sample, the belief is almost never actually based in reality.

That's why I listed a myriad of symptoms. If someone solely believes that, say, some people are following them, that's one thing. But if someone thinks people are following them and that some entity is implanting thoughts into their head via futuristic technology, then they're very likely in a state of psychosis.

If you haven't committed any crimes or done anything noteworthy, it's especially unlikely any government is going to devote resources to following you. If you know you've committed some serious crimes, then it's certainly a much more rational fear and could be real.

Also, if you're really being followed by a government IRL, odds are you're not going to notice it unless they want you to notice it, and that pretty much doesn't happen unless you're an important figure traveling to a foreign country and they want to intimidate you. It's not impossible that you could notice it, but when multiplied by all of the other probabilities, it's very unlikely. Especially if you hold other paranoid beliefs.

>Who decides what's real? Is it not real unless you've got audio?

If you hear someone talking to you but you don't see anyone nearby, or if you hear something/someone while no one else near you hears anything. But, yes, if you try to record it and don't hear anything on the recording, then that would also be an indication.
>The fed is very much aware of the inflation, but is on the awkward position that were they to raise the rates even a tiny bit, it would bankrupt the federal government. Going from 0-1% to 4-5% interest rates, would lead to default as just the interest on the money owed is at $hundreds-billions yearly. Now double or tripe that cost…

Sure but this is "boring". An economy that can only support a negative interest rate can obviously not support a 4-5% interest rate. I don't see any surprise or any malice or trickery. The economy wants negative interest rates, the interest rates are at 0% so people hold onto their deposits and prevent the repayment of the debt. An economy that doesn't want to give up its deposits will obviously die if you give it even more reasons to hold onto deposits.

There is no gotcha. No criminal to catch. Interest rates want to be low, raising them for no reason will destroy the market because it wants the interest rates to be low. If there was sufficient inflation i.e. the market demanded higher interest rates you could raise interest rates with no ill effect. Before that happens you'll have to let the current inflation be here for a year. If you kill it prematurely you'll actually have to do more unconventional monetary policy.

>Why do you think theres a godly group of supremely moral and righteous humans sitting at the FED?

Because you don't want something like turkey to happen where the democratically elected president messes with monetary policy and causes double digit inflation.

Interesting, I've been seeing the same spam for Norwegian searches, but with the domain nem-multiservice dot dk, or nem-varmepumper dot dk - presumably another legitimate business' domain that expired and was grabbed by the scammers. Visiting those domains show the same graphic as shown in the article.

Almost any search in Norwegian will have obvious scam sites like these in the top 10 results.

The funky tool sounds like a potential security issue, especially if you clone repos and then enter them without checking the contents first. I suppose it could be made safer by requiring review when adding a new directory or the settings for a directory changing.

Sometimes that tool is going to be Go, and at least it says on the package when and how it should be used.

Can only agree. Duolingo gives some basic vocabulary but after that basically is useless, especially as the way it teaches grammar forms (and on the mobile app barely any explicit rules) is 100% useless. Native speakers looking at example sentences in the target language are often shocked at the nonsense that is provided.

But worst for me is that it wastes time. The unnecessarily ineffective repetitions, all the features and ads intended to upsell 'Pro', etc. There are dozens of other apps that do it better for free (e.g. good old Anki, or newcomers like Clozemaster) and when on a desktop a whole wealth of professional learning resources are available, both old ones that are now public domain, the world of wikis and collaborative learning and flashcards, and no-profit materials. For instance lots of organizations fund free courses, e.g. the EU funded a bunch of sites for learning languages, like https://deutsch.info, and national broadcasters like RF1 (French), DW (German) provide great professional and current materials. Podcasts and youtubers teach any language imaginable, etc.

Try Duolingo to get a taste, but after a few lessons look for your language online and you'll find much better stuff.

That's the way I see it, anyway.

edit: an example, and a counter-example. Gay marriage is the example: there was never going to be a steady equilibrium reached of roughly half the US opposed and half the US in favor. One side had to win the fight and settle the issue.

On the other hand, abortion seems kind of similar and has in fact been in a fairly steady equilibrium in terms of public support. I think that may be because it's less one issue than two: the right to life of a fetus + bodily autonomy.

This is not the case. Many people who are double vaccinated are testing positive for COVID and therefore capable of spreading it:

Look at the data from the UK. The pandemic is far from over there, although hospitalisations are far far lower than previous peaks. There is a non-significant amount of immunocompromised people in the UK (1million+). Maybe the data we are seeing is because the immunocompromised people who take risks all ended up in hospital and died.

Maybe, what you are left with is a huge number of people scared shitless at home, hiding, lonely, scared in a country where everyone is being told everything is fine. My father is in this position, double vaccinated and tested negative for antibodies. Current data shows extremely low efficacy and antibody production in immunocompromised people.

The main tangible piece of evidence for climate change is to say unequivocally that the global temperature went up by 1 degree by a certain date.

We can’t get beyond 2-3 degrees, 4-6 degrees will have serious consequences.

This is the one benchmark that is not ambiguous, whereas talking about polar ice caps melting (at variable rates), or global emission going up/down/stay the same is sort of ‘eh, so what’s that mean? We up 1 degree or not?’.

Things that fall under hysteria is the claim that wildfires are because of climate change, or that it’s hotter than it’s ever been in so and so place, or that hurricane season is particularly bad this year because … the boogey man climate change.

> There's so little coverage of the insane violence.

The tinfoil hat in me believes that media is not really interested in foreign violent demonstrations and reports as biased as possible about domestic protests turning violent (e.g. BLM), so that the domestic population doesn't even get the idea that violent protest can actually achieve something. Just look at French labor/social protests... immensely violent, and pretty effective when compared to Germany where the social net was pretty torn up during the last decades.
Frankly, I don't even understand the discussion about cameras. In the meetings I'm at, 80% of the time someone is either presenting slides, some document that is being discussed, some plots/figures, or code.
Even when that's not the case, nobody ever complained about the general cameras-off culture of the outfit, and I don't see any reason either.
"Like the thriving, polite, constructive exchange of ideas that took place on /r/the_donald for instance?"

I have never visited that subreddit, but since the rest of the world, downvote button or not, was also not really involved in a constructive exchange of ideas on that topic - I do not see the point here. Emotional topics are hard to discuss, if the people involved use it to vent out emotions and to evangelize.
> Many people who are double vaccinated are testing positive for COVID and therefore capable of spreading it

Yes, but the fact that symptoms tend to be much weaker in the vaccinated likely means it's less likely to spread from them. Currently, the problem is that we have those breakthrough cases, plus also the unvaccinated still spreading the disease.

That said, it's true that the new delta variant may mean we need further boosters.
I'm not sure they innovated much. Other apps like Babbel are older and had the same features, if not more and better. Duolingo rode the 'free' and 'hip startup' publicity wave and had an interesting idea that they'd use the users to crowdsource translations. But that didn't pan out - everything afterwards seems to have been just scaling with no innovation whatsoever.
The book is not easy. It's more like a traditional textbook, albeit a great one. In my experience, the book is great at showing how seemingly hard concepts can be systematically developed, layer by layer, under the framework of vector space and linear transformation. When reading the book, I often marveled like this: that's it? Wow! A few references to the previously listed theorems and definitions and this is proved?
When then debates and fights settle, I want to see remote as a genuine option given to employees. I have worked in "offshore" model most of my life, staying in India and being an early engineer to many startups around the world. I used to be very extroverted by nature.

In the last few years I have become more introverted. The transition started when I was living in Germany. Now I have fewer friends, but higher quality. No parties at all and I miss none of it. I live in a small village in the Himalayas, feel super connected to nature, feel happier on average. I just started a contract with a US East based early stage startup. I will travel and surely spend time in in-person huddles, but I want to be a remote worker for as long as my nature fits this mode.

I frequent online programming communities a lot more these days and I feel some of the best creators out there (not just in software) hone their skills by themselves, in themselves. I really do not get the point of "managing" people anyway. 1 or 2 short calls a day are enough even for fast paced work. If teams can not understand subject matter through documentation and asynchronous communication, then something is off.

Also, a remote company leans more toward documentation and online co-ordination. I see this as an asset to any company.
[FWIW, I disagree with mandatory vaccination]

Unsure about anyone else, but I have been very much taken by surprise by the level of anti-vax and anti-lockdown sentiment during the pandemic. I'd have expected _some_ of the behaviour we're seeing, but not on this scale. In the UK we've seen huge "freedom marches", which are literally mass acts of disobedience against public health policies designed to save the lives of the elderly and vulnerable.

It makes me wonder what other public reactions I might be wrong about. For example, will people react to climate change getting worse by actively adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere? Might they drive (then outlawed) combustion engine vehicles in long processions through capital cities?

I've recently been reading Obama's memoirs and he talks about how he came to realise people are moved by emotions rather than rational argument, how he was disappointed by that but forced to embrace it.

I wonder, therefore, if the poor leadership of some world leaders during the first year of the pandemic is a key factor in the strength of backlash against public health policy we're seeing. Perhaps this situation is an exception caused by a void of decisive emotional argument in the other direction. I don't know, but I do know that I'm surprised.
I've had good managers and bad managers. The damage done by the bad managers was far bigger than the help I got from the good managers; in the worst case the manager lied and forced me out and there was nothing I could do. It's a position where there seems to be very little accountability for doing it poorly and no way of dealing with those who do - see Bezos' famous "You should quit."

Incidentally I was working on some US immigration paperwork this morning, which requires documenting that you got some vaccines before they will give you a green card. COVID is not among them yet.

The required vaccines overlap with ones required to go to school in the US. So between school vaccines and immigration vaccines, perhaps this is why companies have not had to require any vaccines before now?

> And it's mainly not even their fault.

It's precisely their fault, they've created an environment that incentivizes low quality, irrelevant content and are actively hostile towards users. Two examples just from top of my head: ignoring the country website, previously if you wanted to search only local news it was very easy to do. Another was ignoring completely the exact phrase search with double brackets.
It's pretty bizarre. At least in the US, there's been mandatory vaccinations for decades for schooling, and only fringe anti-vaxxers have opposed it. It's largely been considered settled and non-controversial (except to anti-vaxxers in recent years); a basic, common sense public health requirement, not really any different from, say, health codes.

Now, apply the same principle to an active pandemic and half the country is losing its mind about it.
Git bisect run still doesn’t (?) support —-first-parent so unless people keep every commit in merged branches passing CI, the tool is very difficult to use. I wish that feature would make it into git. Another useful feature would be to be able to specify additional code (not in the repo) to leave alone during true bisect. Usually (in my experience almost invariably) you need a new test to bisect in the past. This requires some scripting gymnastics to patch the tree after each checkout in the bisect.
Does this actually work though? Wouldn't the major search engines more or less look at the same information?

Or is there some thing that causes Bing to show different results? Perhaps the scammers build a network that targets google because it's bigger?

> If these vaccines were regular, inactivated virus vaccines

There are also inactivated viral vector vaccines for COVID. I got J&J because it was what was available to me. I would have gotten an mRNA vaccine if I could. I agree that the mRNA vaccines should be studied for long term effects, but with what we know about them so far, my prediction is that we will find them to be much safer in the long term than viral vector vaccines. Only time will tell.
