I mean, have you run this through a spam filter to see how it would score?

This is spam. I would never click on this. The keyword "FREE" is a big one in spam filtering. Length of the title is way too long. And the attitude of "get this now!" and "crypto!" and "cheatsheet" all yell SPAM!

As for the ongoing censorship, you may have posted too many of these headlines and now you are branded as spammer -- even though we know you are not.

Maybe keep posting with different titles and things will change?
What about if someone were starving and they needed to eat a human to survive? (Because there wasn't anything else, shipwreck, etc)

You're trying to apply the same standards to animals as to humans with respect to killing them being morally wrong, but then you make an exception that seems to place humans into a completely different category again. I don't like your exception because things are basically never that clear-cut... there's always another way. If you want to be so absolute about the morality of killing, then stick to it and don't make exceptions. If you don't want to consider animals as food, then don't consider them food, even if it means starving to death. Just as I don't think I would ever consider another human as food, even if I'm starving to death.

I by no means suggest that the Chinese system is superior. It's a sort of system that can descend into runaway corruption pretty easily.

What I am saying is, given the decay of the western society, which is our fault entirely, our chances of staying ahead are slim.

The problem is, the Chinese have a team. They do not easily sell out. We, however, have an entire layer of high-level government that will readily go to the highest bidder. This is not sustainable. The only way to fix this is a crisis that unites us, but if a global pandemic did not do it, what will?

Is it possible to at least lock-in a query plan with Postgres?

I understand the philosophy behind wanting to keep the queries themselves as declarative as possible, but there should be some way to prevent a really important query from randomly going rogue and using a stupid index, just because something completely unrelated changed somewhere else in the database.
Hey, so my my career path has been C# (many years) -> F# (couple years) -> Clojure (3 months). I understand multithreading primarily through the lens of async/await, and have been having trouble fully grokking the Clojure's multithreading. One of the commandments of async/await is don't block: https://blog.stephencleary.com/2012/07/dont-block-on-async-c...

Which is why the async monad tends to infect everything. Clojure, as far as I can tell so far, doesn't support anything similar to computation expressions. So I'm guessing your "poked at it a couple times" was something like calling `pmap` and/or blocking a future? All my multithreaded Clojure code quickly blocks the thread... and I can't tell if this is idiomatic or if there's a better way.

Lisp is a wonderful language (Common Lisp in particular, but I am dabbling in Scheme now too), and absolutely fantastic for web development - seriously people should give it a chance in that space, I would totally develop any SPA in Lisp[1].

QuickLisp is simply a joy to use, and the language is very portable with a fantastic specification and many top notch compilers.

IMO, what holds it back is a lack of a top notch IDE. It took me a year of love & hate with Emacs, I can now make pretty good use of the amazing software that is Emacs (where everything can be changed), but honestly at times I want a simple point & click free IDE which is polished and does most things well and out of the box. Portacle is a step in the right direction, but the Emacs dependency IMO does make the language a bit more niche and lose out to other languages for beginners. If some big corporation can mix sublime with slime with paredit with some of the customize ability of Emacs, then Common Lisp could explode in popularity.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE Emacs and everything about Emacs & CL combined, but it took me a year to get to this point.

An intelligent being in a 'state' of decreasing entropy seems a little difficult to imagine.

Much more realistic, IMO, would be a civilization that was made entirely of dark matter.

> so there is no more additional burning of limestone needed? instead your process directly produces the lime, CaO? and that then binds the CO2 when curing?

The OP says they'll make money by selling synthetic limestone ("We make money from selling synthetic limestone to cement producers..."), so I think the CO2 still needs to be burned off of it before the cement is produced. However they say they already (indirectly) pulled that same CO2 out of the air, instead of the ground, so overall the process is carbon neutral.

SARS-CoV-2 does cause common cold like symptoms in the vast majority of cases, just like other coronaviruses. In particular it's quite similar to HCoV-OC43. The only reason those other endemic coronaviruses don't kill many people is that most of us get infected as children and build up some immunity.

It depends. It’s hard to model and even think about the selection pressures accurately. West Nile virus showed a marked increase in virulence in corvids recently as did rabbit hemorrhagic disease.

And let’s not forget about Mareks disease, where a non-sterilizing vaccine is thought to have contributed to a massive increase in virulence, killing nearly 100% of unvaccinated chickens now vs causing mild disease decades ago.

I also did interviewing at a FAANG and this was not my experience.

1. We trained 4-5 times on each type of question. The first few were shadows, and then we did reverse shadows where someone watched us give the interview and gave feedback later. In one category I asked for and was allowed to reverse shadow an extra 1-2 interviews.

2. There was auditing. In debriefs where you discussed the candidate and reviewed notes, the debrief lead was supposed to closely examine what questions you asked and how you conducted the interview, with the explicit goal of making sure that the interview was conducted within spec and your recommendation made sense given performance. Shortly after I was certified to do interviews, a debrief leader (correctly) identified a major issue in an interview that I had conducted. That candidate was given another interview in the same category. Although I didn't face any official sanctions, it was definitely an embarrassing experience and made me handle future interviews more thoughtfully.

Overall, I was fairly comfortable with the rigor of the process that I saw. I'm certainly not saying the process is perfect but my experience did not align with yours.
> It wouldn't surprise me if the UK's cases are now dropping because they reached that threshold, but I doubt the US is there now.

Given the enormous US Covid outbreak, the US is likely not far away. We're at 70% adult vaccination and had a minimum of 100 million prior Covid infections. Also throw in tens of millions of people that likely have natural immunity to Covid.

The biggest question with Delta is going to be the matter of repeat infections and how long the vaccines, the vaccines + prior infections, and prior infections (without vaccination) all hold up against it. To say nothing of what variations will follow next after Delta. Is there actually herd immunity to be found with Delta, or will people just keep getting variations of Covid from here forward. I don't believe there will be herd immunity for any nations, there will just be far lower mortality rates due to prior virus exposure and the vaccines. Some non-trivial % of the vaccinated population will continue to get Covid. If there was a chance to squash Covid with the early strain via herd immunity, those days are very long gone.

The great lie still being persisted for the benefit of the agitated public, is that Covid is going to go away courtesy of vaccinations. The authorities have pitched that to the public from the early days of the vaccines to try to max out the vaccination rates. Do this and Covid goes away. The vaccines are never going to stop Covid, they're going to continue to dramatically reduce the mortality rates (which is critical, however the public still doesn't widely grasp the reality of the forever Covid future yet).
>why do it

Because if you don't, someone who does is going to invade for energy and resources. Therefore, refusing to expand is a slow form of suicide, unless you can be somehow certain there's no entity like that in the potentially accessible space.

At some point growth in any star system is going to be finished - energy extraction near maximum, no free matter left to convert into computronium. After that, only two solutions remain: stagnation (death) or expansion. Assuming no instant communication (not just FTL - instant), the bandwidth argument only means it makes more sense to haul energy and computronium from the rest of the accessible space into one point.

We may very well already see it somewhere far away, thinking it's "natural" rather than a construct.

Truework | Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Product Manager | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring senior software engineers, an engineering manager (EM), and a product manager (PM) to help overhaul employment and income verification and build a trusted identity layer for internet commerce.

Truework is building a platform to make it fast and easy to leverage income and employment information to do business on the internet. Our platform makes it faster and easier to close loans and other transactions, increase access to financial products (that are often limited to W-2 employees with good credit), and give employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which has enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and helps employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.

Our team is still small, which means you’ll play big a part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS.

That makes it sounds like it took 1 billion years for life to form. According to timelines I've read about (based on scientific papers) it took around 800M-900M years for the heavy bombardment to stop, and temperatures reduced similar to those of today. So once an environment friendly to life appeared, life appeared quickly.
In practice, you're not just betting on a random walk, you're also reading the news and thinking about the company's outlook, its thesis, and its public sentiment.

> By this standard, anyone can make up any speculation of something that might happen to children someday, and we'll use that speculation to demand fearful responses, indefinitely.

You are also speculating, but simply about different things. You're speculating about harm from the vaccine, or about infection that don't happen. One way to avoid going down that speculation rabbithole is to defer to experts whose job it is to weigh the pros and cons and crunch the numbers.

https://services.aap.org/en/news-room/news-releases/aap/2021...

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends vaccinating all children ages 12 and older who are eligible for the federally authorized COVID-19 vaccine."

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommend...

"CDC recommends everyone 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination to help protect against COVID-19."

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...

"Yes. Experts, including those at Johns Hopkins, believe that the benefits of being vaccinated for COVID-19 outweigh the risks. Although COVID-19 in children is usually milder than in adults, some kids can get very sick and have complications or long-lasting symptoms that affect their health and well-being. The virus can cause death in children although this is rarer than for adults."

> The myocarditis issue disproportionately affects young boys. Your calculation is incorrect.

I took that into account when calculating.

> including a number of experts here in the US

At national scale, you can find experts that will tell you anything. The consensus opinion of the major US health authorities is that the vaccine is a net benefit for children.
