Not only that but there's the phenomenon of long haul COVID which we don't know much about. Loss of smell, everything literally tasting like shit and making you sick whenever you eat, brain fog - some people have been battling this for months. We don't know enough to know if it'll ever go away. For some people it has, for others it hasn't. We don't know if the vaccinated who get infected will still suffer from long haul COVID. We just don't know.

All I know is brain fog is a career killer and my quality of life would decrease significantly if everything I ate tasted absolutely foul and disgusting. Seems a reasonable precaution to continue wearing a mask when out in public even though I'm completely vaccinated. Note that's a purely selfish argument for the vaccinated to continue mask wearing. The fact I may be saving someone else's life is additional incentive.
> would likely see their pay cut by about 10%

I assume they're not taking RSUs away, so the cut is only to base salary (maybe bonus also?). Since RSUs tend to be over 50% of total comp, that's less than 5% cut in reality.

I can't relate to how one wouldn't take a 5% pay cut to eliminate a two hour commute! Heck I'd take a full 10% cut to avoid commuting two hours a day. At a typical goog salary one doesn't even notice 5% or 10%, but two hour commute sure changes life.
Interesting, I thought it would have been as good an intro as RS itself to the universe. It certainly puts Ana Khouri in perspective.

Copying my comment from a previous post:

From the first example:

> return -tf.reduce_mean((T("input") - 0.5)2)*

Don't you want to use the average instead of "0.5"?

From the explanation:

> The code is a function that takes in an input tensor and returns the mean squared error of the input.

It's hard to believe that the system can detect that it's the "mean squared error". Is this an explanation a real example from the implementation, or it's just a handmade example?

Note: Wait more time to repost. Users usually get angry and start to flag our post is you repost too often.

Stay Alert: How Chrome Plans to Break the Web
>I'm surprised they spend so much (presumably) time and effort on applications, especially 'Web' and 'Terminal'. How many users are actually going to use 'Web' as their browser?

Elementary is aimed in part at non-power-users, moreso than most other distros besides Ubuntu. Most of them don't care or even know what browser they're using.
Probably dozens of defi hacks since 2019 and no arrests . Good luck with that
> There were definitely phones that allowed you to browse the web, as early as the Nokia 9000 Communicator. I think it was the first to have 'unlimited' internet plans due to their partnership with AT&T, but I'm not sure that's nearly as convincing an innovation as 'the web'. Maybe the fact that mobile Safari had a look and feel similar to desktop Safari.

My understanding is that "the web" on mobile phones was crippled and unappealing prior to the iPhone. Sure you could "use" it, but most people didn't want to. In 2007 the web was on the desktop, and the iPhone bringing a desktop-like experience to a phone was a game-changer.

I'm still not a fan of the async iterator API example for server handlers:

for await (const conn of Deno.listen({ port: 4500 })) {
(async () => {
for await (const { respondWith } of Deno.serveHttp(conn)) {
respondWith(new Response("Hello World"));
}
})();
}

It's hard to reason, and ugly with that async iffe in the middle adding layers of nesting and bf-like `})();` junk.

I think the event subscription API is much easier on the eyes and the mind.

Right, and as the wiki mentions, it's not a great solution overall. But at least it works for me for Twitter (and Twitter is still trying to autoplay on scroll, the play button on videos disappear while scrolling only to reappear). Not sure why it works actually, but it's better than going in the Twitter settings all the time or dealing with autoplay.

It can only be "endlessly amusing" because there are "endless" of these bumps, so far.

But, as with cryptocurrencies, it just doesn't make any sense. Maybe a boxer taking it on the chin round after round can derive some satisfaction from still being conscious. But they aren't making any progress and would be rather stupid to continue considering it a winning strategy.

Oh, wait.. maybe it does make sense.
>>Further, they're not even uploading your photo from your phone (which, again, you've already told them to do if you're using iCloud) for the purpose of analysis; they're reporting a fingerprint

Yes, followed by the actual photo for verification by a human, and if it's indeed a reportable picture it's then sent to authorities. It's very clear from their FAQ that's how it works. That's what I mean by apple "breaking" encryption - the photo is encrypted on the phone, and encrypted on the cloud - except that if their algorithm says it matches(or is just similar to) some hash somewhere, the actual photo will be sent without encryption to them for verification. That's the part I have an issue with. They are not saying to the authorities "hey we found something matching a known hash on this guy's device, do with it what you will"(in which case I'd expect the police to arrive with a search warrant), they do actually analyze, send through to themselves, verify and send to authorities the actual pictures from your phone.

The fact that a permission to store the pictures in iCloud was given before is again problematic, because apple repeatedly says that the iCloud contents are encrypted and they can't see them without a warrant - except in this case here, they can and they will.

>>Many disagree, and would say that reporting child sexual abuse is, in fact, good.

Beyond a doubt, yes, obviously. But the fight against child abuse shouldn't be at all costs, and every technological solution where our privacy is violated should be met with suspicion first. Not to mention the entire discussion about the dangers of this system existing in the first place, Apple saying they will refuse state request to add content detection that isn't related to child abuse doesn't really hold much water, sorry - if doing so is the condition to continue operating in a market large enough, they will absolutely do it and I have zero doubts they would.
Based on another link posted here it looks like the hackers just called the half of a cross chain transaction that does the Eth payout.

I really, really hope with all my heart that project Vesta or another geoengineering initiative pans out.

Because, there you have it, folks. People will not consent to meaningful climate change policy if they figure out that the policy might have an impact on their way of living.

It's just... there's stuff where we can push back, stuff where we can do better and hope that people rally to a common understanding, and this is definitely not the case here. Politicians have utterly rejected one of the most obvious, most effective solutions we have against climate change, and people don't care.

AFAIK, for the setup they're talking about, you do need a dedicated GPU. You blacklist it on the host, and pass it through to the windows VM.

I haven't worked in windows space in awhile though, and state changes rapidly, so there may be other options now that utilize a single GPU across host and vm without losing performance.

It means precisely that -- if you're in your 50s, and have the experience of someone in their 20s, that's a red flag.

Good:

- You ran a successful business

- You managed a division at Google

- You were faculty at an elite university

- You were a management consultant at an elite firm, and build out a rolodex of elite connections

- You had a diverse array of jobs which give you a unique skillset for the startup at hand. For example, if you worked in a hospital, in China, and as an EE, you might be in a unique position to start a medical devices outsourcing firm.

Etc.

Bad:

- Spending 35 years as a SWE at a random company.

- A series of random jobs, with no coherence or anything of note (e.g. sales rep, admin, IT, etc.)

- ... and so on.

"incredibly capable with knowledge, experience and connections that would give them a massive advantage" means you can either get funding from a friend who knows you, or you probably want to find some way to signal that. If you haven't found a way to signal that in 35 years, odds are you won't be able to e.g. signal why someone should partner with you, buy your product, work for you, etc.
For insulin to stop working once your glucose got to 75-80 would be perfect. If the insulin also stayed there and activated as soon as your glucose went up, that might be even better than having a fully functional pancreas.

It would be cool!, but I’d go for the pancreas: As far as I know, the pancreas releases insulin in pulses. Each pulse 3-5 minutes after the other? The pulses seem to matter. Supposedly the loading-unloading cycle on the insulin receptor seems to help prevent insulin resistance. (It does somehow make intuitive sense to “shake” cells’ sensors a bit to help them stay on target.)

Another thing is C-peptide. It’s a “byproduct” of the insulin protein folding in the pancreatic cell. I believe C-peptide is now known to be a biologically active control molecule with antiinflammatory properties.

Source: The Wikipedia page on insulin iirc. I an only a layman and may be severely mistaken about all of this.

I'm not sure how to express this economic problem but I personally am no longer surprised that companies with government funding are highly profitable. You may call it tax Seigniorage (I honestly don't know if it already has a name) but it's a more general concept.

Income taxes compound based on distance to government spending.

A receives money from the government directly and pays 20% tax, A spends all his money. B gets 80% of the initial government money, B spends all his money on C who gets 64%. At a distance of 10 only 10% of the original money is left in the economy. You essentially have to work 10x as hard for the same wage.

The fundamental problem is that everyone has a distance of 0 to the government when it comes to tax collection but only A has a distance of 0 when it comes to government spending.

So, the fact that BioNTech has a big share of the economy isn't surprising. It's simply that much easier to earn money directly from the government than from the rest of the private economy.

What is the solution to this problem? Well, an approximation would be welfare. Consumers now have a distance of 0 to government spending. Of course it's just a hack. A better solution would be to create a "tax coupon" i.e. you pay 3000€ in taxes. Rather than straight up 3000€ the government gets a coupon worth 3000€ of your time. The coupon will have your name written on it. This forces the government to buy your products directly which reduces the distance to the government to 0. Alternatively the government could deposit the coupon at a bank and the coupon money would pass through the economy untaxed. In either case you would always receive your full wage rather than a wage that was diminished by tax compounding the further away you are from government spending.

This doesn't apply to governments exclusively. A payment processor gets to charge a fee with a distance of 0 on every transaction meanwhile when the revenue is spent the fees get to compound until they have reached you, meaning it is much easier to earn money off the payment processor than from the rest of the economy.

Does the tech/advertising industry perpetuate the same form of inequality? It definitively has a distance of 0 to every single individual and it centralizes the profits but does it extract a fee out of every individual? Is advertising a hidden tax on every purchase?

This might be true of everything that is either a basic need (food, shelter) or forced upon every member of society without their consent (i.e. car dependence as a hidden tax on everything).

By the way I am not questioning that the governments or companies in question don't produce value. They certainly do. The problem isn't the individuals, it's about the unintended consequences of supposedly simple concepts on a societal scale. Individuals may feel that the rules are fair on an individual level but what if they are thoroughly unjust on a societal scale?

If relative poverty is certain then isn't it just the logical consequence of the system we have built?
The equivalent is that for every single trip you take on public roads, you must prove you are following the public road rules - like you do with having to first obtain a driving license, registered car, car insurance, MOT (in the UK), road tax (UK), medical approval if you have certain health conditions.

If you're going to pay to use a hired car, expect to have to show the car hire company sufficient proof that you won't expose them to unnecessary risks. If you're going to pay to use a hired server to store your photos, why shouldn't you demonstrate to the owner that you aren't going to misuse their services or break their terms of service or break the law?

If you want to drive your car on your land, it doesn't need any of that.

The warehouse workers worked for it, just like the founder. The distribution of profits between the two isn't a natural law. It's the outcome of a particular regulatory environment that the very wealthy have created over the last half century.

As for how you're paying for the wealthy, there are many ways. You're paying for the US government to negotiate with other countries to change their local laws either directly or via treaties to create a similar regulatory environment globally. You're also paying for externalities, like what happens with a fly ash lake or manure lagoon overflows, or the consequences of air pollution.

"[2013] Status of Previously Proposed Coal Plants"

... no one is really building much coal anymore in the US, renewables have made the daily market demand fluctuate too much. Coal plants have a hard time turning on/off... and fracking made natural gas too cheap. NGCC can very easily scale up/down depending on demand, so nuclear and coal are getting replaced by natural gas anyway.

"How about not exploiting people?"

? If there is exploitation at large, it's the people reading this that are doing the exploitation by leveraging against workers paid 'barely survival wages' in developing countries will crying about 'not being engaged at work' while earning 10x the global income average doing work that is actually intellectual, whilst the global average worker toils at something generally menial and more classically work.

The modern world is an utter utopia relative to the life of almost any person living at any point in history, if you're reading this, you're living at a higher standard of living that most Kings and Emperors. Probably higher than even the richest people in the world just two generations ago.

Our civilization and high standard of living requires 'work', which fall upon us to do, and whether it is 'engaging' or not is mostly besides the point.

Most companies are made up of regular people doing regular work even at the upper layers, most companies are small or mid-sized and execs. are definitely not rolling in cash, there's actually a very thin slice of people earning truly outsized incomes.

Just to be clear, `deno eval "console.log(5)"` has existed for some time which is similar to `node -e "console.log(5)"`. In this case, the deno repl subcommand's --eval flag provides a cross-platform way to evaluate some setup code before launching into the REPL. This is useful if you alias the command in your shell's initialization file allowing you to easily launch a REPL with everything already setup to your liking.

For example:

$ alias add_repl='deno repl --eval "const add = (a, b) => a + b"'
...
$ add_repl
Deno 1.13
exit using ctrl+d or close()
> add(1, 2)
