> For #2, if you have a medical condition that prevents you from receiving the vaccine it would require either falsified vaccine cards to show you as complying with the mandate.

IMO, people with legitimate medical conditions should just be granted excelsior passes, the same as those who are vaccinated. There's few enough people with these conditions that it shouldn't be a health issue.

Religious exemptions are the tricky one, since NYC especially has e.g. orthodox jews clustered together in their own communities. IMO, they should not got passes. If they don't want a vaccine, fine—they just won't be able to go to the movies.
ACoUP is incredible, though not specific to that time period: https://acoup.blog/resources-for-world-builders/
Again, I am talking about the total cost of insurance, not just the portion of the cost of insurance that an employer asks an employee to pay.

Just because an employer is paying for $18k out of $20k of your annual health insurance premiums (again, check code DD box 12 of your W2), does not mean that health insurance costs (meaningfully) less for an employer. It is simply a portion of your total compensation, which both employer and employee prefer to go via the employer due to the ability to purchase it with pre tax money, hence an immediate savings of 30% on the insurance premium portion of one’s expenses.

To go back to the root of this conversation, my purpose was to clarify that “healthcare via employer” is simply an artifact of the tax code and results in savings of tax rate * annual health insurance premiums.
In the west (very generally speaking) you alert your superiors real fast in case of problems. Mostly to cover your own behind (by making other people complicit).

In the east (again, very generally speaking) you alert your superiors only when you yourself are in way over your head. Failing means losing face. In power structures where there is a single entity which controls all the high level positions (ie. a single party) the incentive to bury problems becomes real high.

So I guess it might actually be not that inaccurate.
Once you get over the bonkers UI its pretty easy to make a dwarf fortress that can survive essentially forever, farmers are ridiculously productive so you can support a population of 100-200 pretty easily with 10 or fewer farmers.
> Is data security so important that some companies are willing to pay 5x hardware costs and 2x maintenance costs for it?

Yes. Also, maintaining a fleet of hardware is a resource suck. Being able to provision everyone with something like this lets them use their personal hardware without much compromised in the way of security. (It should also make onboarding much smoother.)
We plan to leverage some of the technology on-board the Restore-L via technology license agreements with NASA. There are a lot of potential solutions and different approaches and we hope to be one of them. The space requires a decent number of these satellites in-space and NASA's not in the market of producing and operating large fleets of satellites. To answer your question, It's too early to say what the ultimate advantages or disadvantages will be from different players.
I had a mentor that was the team lead for another team that I wasn't on, but worked in close-ish proximity to. They were great for bouncing technical ideas off of because they were neutral and unbiased. I could agree or disagree with them on any topic and it wouldn't matter at all and since they're not working on the same thing they don't bogged down by the real constraints and could just give their opinion on what the ideal solution is. I think what made it successful was their willingness to listen to other peoples' ideas and problems even though they didn't have a stake in them, and my willingness to be open and frank with someone outside of my team. I've met a lot of devs. that want to project an image of utter competence to everyone around them and I think that precludes them from learning from the experience of others.

There's a piece of advice out there that says: Don't go to an engineering meeting with a proposal unless you've already got the majority on board with your plan. Having that sort of mentor/mentee relationship with the senior people on adjacent teams is how I followed through on that advice.

I'd be curious to hear this professor's take on the villages of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which is a medieval RPG that attempts to bring some aspects of realism. It even has a DLC where a lord appoints the player to be the bailiff for an effort to rebuild an abandoned fort town, and you work with the "master builder" to choose what industries to foster, while bringing in money and skilled workers from elsewhere.
Right. And need to have the good ability to notice a problem while doing the coding work, which causes you to back up to the higher level and solve it at the right level.

The report at https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan... points out:

> It is not yet known how having detectable antibodies, now or at some time in the past, affects the chance of becoming infected or experiencing symptoms, as other parts of the immune system (T cell response) will offer protection. ...

> It is important to draw the distinction between testing positive for antibodies and having immunity. Following infection or vaccination, antibody levels can vary and sometimes increase but can still be below the level identified as "positive" in our test, and other tests. This does not mean that a person has no protection against COVID-19, as an immune response does not rely on the presence of antibodies alone.

The report gives no reasons for why 40% of that population with antibodies are those who have not had a vaccine shot.
Hardly an unbiased article:

No libraries or dependencies needed.

Git is a dependency, which means perl is a dependency, which means a shell is a dependency, which means glibc is a dependency, which means that a lot of other things (including posix threads) are also dependencies. Pedantically, you could even go as far as saying that you could count the Linux kernel, the processor being used and the like as dependencies, but that's a bit out of scope for this.

Agreed, an alternative statement could be:

"As of [todays date], the CDC does not recommend the use of masks in indoor spaces by people without Covid-19 symptoms.

Droplet transmission is currently thought to be the leading mechanism of Covid-19 transmission and masks have been shown to reduce the quantity of droplets expelled and inhaled. Definitive data is not available on how effective masks are on reducing transmission of Covid-19 specifically.

Despite the possible benefit, the CDC recommends reserving masks for the sick, healthcare workers, and high risk groups while the current shortage of available N95 masks is in effect."

The point is to provide accurate information. Lying might have short-term benefits in manipulating behavior, but destroys trust. If the run on masks is still a problem, the solution should have been more government involvement in the the supply chain and distribution of the masks.

No, China shouldn't be able to squash critical speach in foreign countries. The solution is not to cower out in fear. Institution which sanctions people critical to China should be shamed and sanctioned as much as possible.

All of this is very intentional from China. It is a form of cultural war where China is fighting aggressively against the core western values using his new found economic power. Staying passive is chosing to lose.
Looks like they tried to match Amazon Workspaces prices. That doesn't mean it isn't expensive though.

I'd call them both niche products that I'd be more interested in developing on if it wasn't so expensive to do so (at 16 GB of RAM). I'm not entirely sure I can describe what the normal deployment scenario looks like (e.g. traveling salesman doesn't work because you'd need too high of internet quality on the road, developer doesn't work as RAM pricing, and in a lot of scenarios you need on-prem hardware to connect to it anyway).

A backplane is nontrivial to design electrically/mechanically and expensive to manufacture (even just some high quality connectors will quickly run up your BOM). If you also want to carry networking there you'll end up having to do some semi-custom network switch design, which locks you into a particular switch/ASIC vendor 'forever', or at least vastly increases friction when wanting to upgrade. Yes, they already have their own PCBA and some mechanical design, but it's very simple compared to what it takes to design a reliable backplane with an integrated power supply and network switch.

At the end of the day this a low-cost system for low-cost devices. IMO the little benefit from having a backplane is not worth the R&D cost and the downsides of fully backplaned blade systems.

And this is not just about this project: from what I see, the industry seems to have rejected fully integrated blade systems. Dell's M1000e is dying, and I don't think I've seen HPE bladecenters in years. Instead, semi-integrated systems like Supermicro's high-density offering is king. No proprietary chassis management system, no proprietary network switches, no locking yourself into whatever the backplane can carry.
I'm convinced that the real target of targeted advertising is actually the ad buyers and not the ad viewers. It's a tool to increase the revenue of the ad sellers.
It seems like a lot of these pay sources use total compensation as their metric, although I'm not 100% certain of that.

If that's the case, though, things start to get real fuzzy talking about salary. If you're at a startup with X stock options, you can start talking about total compensation when the company IPOs. Also, if you work for FAANG, you get RSUs which don't vest until some time, but do count towards total compensation before then.

Take a lot of those numbers in that context and they make more sense.
Indeed! Reduce the salary even more, lmao.

Facebook kinda lets you do this now. Filling out a preference sheet, that is. Buried in your ad settings is a list of what FB thinks are your interests. You can remove any that don’t match.

Doesn’t always work though. You can remove all “interests” related to meat, and then still get slammed with steak ads after you clicked “like” on an article criticizing the beef industry. There seems to be a shadow list of interests that the user can’t see or edit.

The one combo that does work over time is deleting interests and consistently choosing “Do not show this ad again” for the unwanted subjects. But that’s more work than most are willing to do. I only did it because the ad system is interesting to me and I wanted to see how trainable it is.
My first job as a developer was a gift from heaven. I started as a non educated pho developer. I hardly knew the concept of OOP. A very talented smart colleague took care of me for about 4 years. He reached me everything. From PHP to C to high and low level programming. Without him I would be in a very different situation. After that first job I got a decent job at another company. Few years later I was able to start my own company. Now in my second company for a few years.

Please think again about what "politics" means to you.

Some people just think of boring men and women in suits shouting in adverts, blaming the other person for all our failures. Yeah, we all hate that.

But politics is bigger than that. To my mind it is the process through which any group of humans decides how to work together (or possibly annihilate together).

Its how we agree to build roads, schools, hospitals. Its where we build them, who builds them, who gets to use them.

It's how fairly or not we share the burdens.
It's about who is an enemy and who is a friend.
It's about taxes and rebates, of course, but if we dont collect and spend the taxes to, say, build a school, politics is about do we want to have someone else build the school? Is that fair? Will it educate the children correctly. Even when government does not do something politics is still there.

Because its about everyone who is not us, and how we interact with everyone who is not us.
The impression I've gotten from talking with her is that law is like the worst codebase you could possibly imagine, running on a machine that doesn't even execute it consistently, where every ambiguity (which abound) is resolved via interpersonal conflict. It sounds like my worst nightmare, personally. She didn't like it either which is part of why she got out.

It's also a ton of rote memorization, which luckily isn't very important for programming because I'm terrible at it.

Thing is, it's just the battery packs. Along with the tires, it's practically the only thing on the car that can wear out. The electric motors are practically forever. It doesn't have a transmission. It barely touches the brakes. It doesn't have oil to change. There's no fuel pump, and the cooling pump puts in far less work on warm battery packs than a super-hot engine.

They need to get to Tesla's "million mile battery" eventually, but that doesn't seem like a fusion/AI/warp drive kinda thing. It'll be here before most existing batteries have worn out. At which time a lot of people will want a newer car (with newer features and comforts) anyway.
There was a long period of very successful socii service beforehand, and even the author mentions the policy's positive outcomes in his previous posts. Here, incorporation had significant problems almost from the get go. Yet it's almost the same policy...

More importantly, the author portrays it as some horrible deal, but late feodrati arguably got a better deal than the socii did: there was a problem when the rewards went mostly to Rome following conquest of Italy while socii still had to serve, but the feodrati got land and tax exemption for service.

The author's story basically lays all the blame on Rome's lack of inclusiveness (and none on the various 'barbarians'), yet I don't see that many evidence for it in the post. The author doesn't show that inclusion was closed off, or all that worse than in any of Rome's earlier period.

Evidently by resettling the 'barbarians' the Roman ruling class intended to integrate them, and the self-ruling status they got was more likely their demand rather than Rome stubbornly refusing to accept them. Plenty of Germans did integrate into Rome and Roman customs, arguably even after the fall of Rome.

While it is definitely useful to have some of this background, and sometimes to get particular mathematical or physical simulation properties for a system you actually do need to pick these things carefully, in practice, to make gameplay configurable and tweakable it's often better to eschew the purity of mathematical functions and just use a configurable model instead. Unity for example has an object called an 'AnimationCurve' which can be used to make relationships between properties in a game highly configurable. Want to flatten the damage curve for a particular weapon to balance it out against a certain kind of armor? Don't struggle to adjust parameters for your logistic sigmoid to get it to behave, just add a point to the curve in the editor and drag it.

From Alec Karakatsanis's excellent Usual Cruelty on plea bargains:

> “the Constitution requires that every guilty plea waiving the constitutional right to trial by a jury of one’s peers be knowing, intelligent, and voluntary.69 But no one who works in the criminal system thinks that contemporary plea bargaining produces voluntary agreements. The vast majority of plea bargains are accepted by people who are told that they will be imprisoned for longer if they do not give up their right to a jury trial. Many of these people are in jail and are told that pleading guilty is the only immediate way out of jail. In no other cultural context would the word “voluntary” describe this arrangement. Should my coworker ask a person out on a dinner date but tell the person that, if he does not accept, he will be placed in a cage, no one would view the person’s agreement to dine with my coworker as voluntary. That’s not how we understand “voluntary” actions.”

Plea bargains are a totally different world, I'm not trying to compare this decision with plea bargains. What I would like to illustrate, through the author's example, is the process by which modern governments reduce the individual's agency in a de-facto manner, while de-jure asserting that individual's rights are upheld. People have been stuck inside for so, so long, keeping them out of restaurants if they don't get vaccinated is surely just manipulating their decision making toward getting a vaccine they may be uncomfortable getting.

I suppose I don't really get what good this does. If a person decides to not get vaccinated and then decides to dine indoors, who are they harming, other than potentially themselves, by making that decision? I wish they would get the vaccine, but I also do respect their rights to judge the information available for themselves without severely restricting their ability to live their lives.
I respect the hell out of Andrew and what he’s accomplished with Zig, but to an extent I think it’s counterproductive to be creating new languages that aren’t memory safe. What niche does Zig fit? As far as I can tell, it seems to be people who find Rust cumbersome, and don’t think it’s worth the benefits in memory safety.

I don’t personally understand why I would choose Zig over Rust. I think it’s long past time we closed the book on unsafe languages as a profession.

Love these formulas and wish this information was more understood and accessible to people when making decisions. I've personally benefited a lot from a mortgage payoff spreadsheet I have. It's so easy to duplicate a tab, change the interest rate or additional payments and see what the long term impact is.

That being said, and a disclaimer that I created this, I have been charting my path to being able to retire early. I found it difficult when duplicating tabs to simulate different scenarios and keeping the tabs up-to-date with formula changes. If this speaks to any of you, then consider checking out the tool I made - I have not looked back at my old spreadsheets.

I have some feedback about the transcription. There are some places where you are transcribing a conversation with Andrew, and you're labeled as Adam. There are some other places where you are not having a conversation with Andrew, but are instead acting as a narrator to insert context or clarification. These are also labeled as Adam.

It becomes clear which are which from context after a couple sentences, but it's a little jarring. It would be nice if the second kind were labeled Narration or Voiceover or something.
I'm sure end-to-end encryption is great and all, but if a company like Facebook is giving you the client, what difference does e2e encryption make if you're trying to prevent Facebook from seeing your stuff?

Obviously you can see the plain text messages even if it was encrypted, and so Facebook/WhatsApp could theoretically see it too. Isn't this true of any app, e2ee or not?

Adding ads at that point is just trivial - process on the client.
