"At its 2020 annual results, the company said it would stop plans for nickel-cobalt-manganese battery adoption, which most car and battery makers are set on. Instead, BYD has turned all its attention to so-called lithium iron phosphate, or LFPs, for its so-called Blade battery, which was released early last year.

Wang’s focus on LFPs is turning out to be a game-changer. It’s cheaper and more readily usable. The chemistry is far more stable than the up-and-coming NCM type that promises to take cars hundreds of kilometers further but isn’t as safe. Meanwhile, the flat Blade battery takes up less space and reduces the weight of the car, another problem automakers have had to contend with. BYD has managed to bring costs down by almost 30% and reduce the number of parts while also boosting efficiency

The value of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s holdings in BYD Co. Ltd., one of China’s oldest makers of cars and automotive batteries, has skyrocketed this year: BYD’s share price is up almost 30%.

Buffett has backed BYD for over a decade, holding around 22% in the Hong Kong-listed company, which now sits on a market capitalization of over HK$915.6 billion ($117.6 billion). That’s more than investor darling Nio Inc., the new-generation Chinese automaker listed in New York."

I'm painfully aware. Programmers aren't special snowflakes but they have traditionally been well off in this regard. My worry is that if they are being targetted by these kinds of decisions that it legitimises efforts to increase actions against who don't traditionally have as much social mobility.

For now, yes. But they are definitely on a campaign to reduce the family sharing between countries as well. Along with this VPN ban I think they are just forcing people to pirate.

It shows the EMS rack and the ballot scanners in a network configuration.

Since this seems to be windows based from a video I've
seen. At least the software they were using to adjudicate votes. Source:
https://rumble.com/vbqj0b-dominon-voting-machines-walkthroug...

I expect the EMS rack have a network port and not a wifi port. Back when I was using windows, connecting to the internet through the network port required a setup step, for things like DHCP server for the dynamic ip.
I'm curious, does windows remember the configurations it has used in the past?
And does windows keep a log file of the network connections it makes, and how often are those logs rotated typically?
That’s not how the smart money sells a large amount of any asset. There’s plenty of proof that this will either temporarily crater the market (if selling it all by filling any open orders) or take an eternity to execute. That’s just how things traded on exchanges work and it tells us nothing about Bitcoin itself.
Alternatively, and more likely, (given our current understanding of the universe), it is the end of everything and the start of nothing.

Are you on windows? Because I tried OneDrive and found it quite slow and a bit flakey when I tried it a few years ago on my Mac: it would get confused about sync state and just stop syncing (much better than losing data!) until I exited and restarted the app.

Also it would silently refuse to sync some files which eventually I realised were not valid windows filenames though they were perfectly fine under Unix.

Has it gotten better? It’s free so I’d be willing to use it if I could trust it.
You are exactly right about the hand waving. I think it's kind of actually an ad for the "monitoring partners", like this one mentioned in the link. Here is a video from one of them that talks about their "Universal Chip Telemetry"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q6-igEbLt0

In my (dated) experience it's actually mostly talking about production data, like built in self test which are run in hardware test modes on specialized equipment before the parts (or dies) are put on a board or in the system. The other time these are run are when return parts are retested. It's possible some limited amount of die space could be used to store some kind of hardware errors, but in my (dated) experience that would generally be with some kind of small one time programmable memory. If you watch the video there is a lot of detail on how they are going to detect the issues in hardware an basically none on how they actually transmit it off chip.
Only if it cured what ailed me. I would personally be skeptical of such an offer. I would think "Yeah. Sure. And live like this forever without relief or escape. No thanks, buddy."

Not everyone frames such problems the same.
To be more specific, I was referring to:

* USPS sabotage and state-level voter suppression measures in urban areas leading up to the 2020 election

* Post-election soft coup attempt via the courts (including having broken precedent to rush a SCOTUS appointment during the election, which could have changed the outcome of the coup attempt in a different timeline)

* 1/6

* Ongoing propagation of the "big lie" and scheming to overturn the election (https://news.yahoo.com/bizarre-seven-point-plan-reinstate-14...), alongside continuing implementation of state-level voter suppression measures and gerrymandering
You are assuming that judges in America all the way up the food chain are going to think that your cleverness is cute and allow you to cheat the obvious intent and purpose of the law with a technicality. Why would they?

As of the day before the law goes into effect Apple has an app store. Apple would pretty much have to kill its entire phone business, not just its app store, which is the lions share of its income now and forever if it gave up on having any credible way for normal users to install software.

A reasonable judge would say Apple HAS an app store that it has temporarily shuttered for the purposes of a political stunt and happily fine them for believing they were immune from consequences for ignoring the law.

Meanwhile all its partners far from merely yelling at their congresscritter would be steadily losing faith in Apple.

They can't possibly be so naive.

> There was no correlation between vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody levels and viral loads or the development of symptoms.

Not what you would expect is it?
Yes, I think your sentence is fallacy (I am not the one who gave you downvotes). And at the same time that is reason why UK is trying so hard to hide taking part in slavery and oppression during the imperialistic conquest. Genocide is a genocide regardless of the period of time.
Some say that reparation cost to Jamaica because of the slavery would cost trillions, which of course UK does not, or will ever have any plans to do.

Also NATO waging wars around the globe was never legal or just, we were just going for oil and other resources using "shortcut". During NATO imperialistic conquest we have international laws and UN, but it seems that international organisation has more decorative purpose than anything else equally goes for Russia and China. Russia's war dogs would never be in Libya if we have not had destroyed that country first. During Roman empire at least they created roads, aqueducts, they gave writing system, what good did NATO give to any of those middle east countries?
I think it’s difficult to give advice on these sort of things without knowing the person. What their exact issues are what exactly needs “fixed”, etc.
Upon re-examination: if github/microsoft is owning the analytics data gathered from monitoring the keystrokes, then they are a third party, and could possibly make that data available across time; so that a prospective employer can get a view on past performance of a candidate, or the new employer will have access to analytics data gathered on you while working at a previous company. Now that one has the potential to make the whole thing much more sinister. There might be a big difference between the situation where your current employer has a keylogger on you, as compared to the keylogger sitting in the cloud. Grandparent poster Bogwog has a solid argument here.

It all depends if the industry will act this way or not, I still hope that there is some level of desency left somewhere, because being too paranoid about all of it will not get me anyway either. Also the utility of all this analytics data is limited, for example they could possible get the 'number of lines of code' written by someone, but it is impossible to judge how essential all these lines of code were to the business. Also there would be a significant backlash, if they get too invasive on the privacy of developers.

Security and privacy usually don’t need to be balanced; they build on each other. Security and privacy versus usability, sure.
I'm not following the logic. Why would decreased symptoms mean you're more likely to spread? You're thinking that asymptomatic people are more likely to not wear masks/be in more populous places whereas symptomatic people are more likely to quarantine/wear a mask? I could see that line of reasoning, although, as a counterpoint, I understood that the main virality of COVID stems from the long lag between being infectious & symptoms. In other words, basically everyone is asymptomatic for the first 7-10 days that they're infectious anyway.

If the vaccine confers a reduction in symptoms, that's still valuable. The danger of COVID is the sudden spike needed in hospital resources & deaths. Sounds like the vaccine still decreases both, even for delta. Not getting infected at all is a secondary benefit that's a nice to have & important for eradicating the virus totally. I suspect that's a pipe dream at this point & the question is how quickly we can transition it to an endemic disease like the flu.

Isn't that the point of mosh?

"Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes."
1. These are problems to solve independently of death. Shitty governments and politics do not justify death. These problems absolutely aren't in the problem space of life extension to solve.

2. It is arguable that life and freedom are meaningless if we are doomed to lose everything we ever have and are in the end, after such a short amount of time.

3. "Enjoying life for the ephemeral experience it is" is something we do out of hard necessity. I'd take a bit less enjoyment as opposed to, well, not existing at all. Even then, enjoyment and long lives do not have to be mutually exclusive should we solve our problems in time.

Relying on death to solve problems with our government and politics is like relying on a nuclear bomb to heat your dinner. It'll work, it'll also cause immense pain and suffering.

We can and should solve these problems in a separate thread. Alternatively phrased, if power was already stagnated and concentrated, and you had a button to start killing ~100 million random people a year to "solve" this problem, it would be insane to press it. We must find alternative solutions.
It matters because if the dollar amount is real this is probably the largest heist in history.

No and no.

You can put phrases in quotes and some of the initial results may rearrange themselves to reflect this intention that you've signaled but, overall, you'll still get many results that either contain different arrangements of those terms or don't contain them at all.

The minus sign has even hazier functionality and completely falls apart if you are searching --command-line options, etc.

It's not like this isn't a solved problem ... altavista had properly functioning (and complex) boolean operators that worked to give you very precise search results.

The reason you can't do that with google is that google doesn't want you to.
Not too much time, honestly. I use KeePass+ synching and it was easy to setup. Synching is generally useful as well, besides password manager sharing.

After setup I rarely have to think about it, maybe manually synch a conflict between the dB's every 3 months or so.

Overall, _very_ happy with the setup.
Apple’s system design does not easily extend to checking vague subject matter. Every step of the process is tied to hashes of specific photographs.

I'm chillin with 1Password 4 or something. Presumably some MacOS update will break it due to their use of some hacky undocumented API (like Omnifocus2) but until that day comes I'm quite happy syncing to dropbox. I don't like the insecurity of having to pay for something that stores critical data on an ongoing basis. If it's optional, I can make that choice. I do also like a native mac experience.

That said, I'm sure a lot of people value their current offering for a variety of reasons, and it obviously makes good business sense. I've been burned by subscriptions in the past though, and I don't want to deal with that again if it can be avoided.
Potential damage to your lungs, heart, and brain doesn’t seem mundane to me.

The person describing four days of being down is not common and is an extreme case. I myself got a little tired day of, had some mild chills the night of, and was a little sore with a headache the morning after. I took some ibuprofen, drank a lot of water, and ate well, and I felt fine later in the day after. I get the feeling this is very typical.

The response to the vaccine is simply your body preparing itself. Getting the virus isn’t that and has a lot of potential for damage.
I'm starting to think my relationship with books might have been unhealthy in some of the same ways as video games. Theatre and movies might be similar for others. Less "escaping reality" and more "passive consumption at the cost of active creation".
Sorry to hear about it. That's really tough stuff. I eventually became a coach after going through some tough struggles of my own [0].

In the past I have coached people who felt like what you describe. Usually they fell into one of two categories: 1) Low energy or 2) Stuck with gobs of problems. But I think most were also a mix of both with one being more immediately prominent.

(Strangely, the low-energy ones were often drawn to some energy source as a job or hobby. For example, one of them who came to me wanting to talk about low energy--not my usual thing--was actually an energy expert...for work)

For the low-energy crowd, one opening move I always recommend is tracking and logging. Develop or find a method to track your day and the positive energy flow into your day. Even a scale from 1-10.

Next ask yourself: How can I move this number up by one point?

Pretty soon your next problem will be: How do I keep track of the things that reliably move me up by a point?

For the Stuck with gobs of problems group, it is often vital to continually bring the problems to the surface for examination, usually starting with the day-to-day stuff. You can do this in a journal, in a spreadsheet, whatever you like.

I always recommend that Stuck people also relate the feelings attached to those tasks/situations/projects. Otherwise those feelings tend to relocate themselves to embarrassing situations at work or in other places in life.

People who are Stuck are often interested in BJJ, dungeon crawlers, pretty much any up-close-and-personal hobby with lots of little tricks to deploy.

For that reason: Start developing your set of tricks ASAP. A common one is the development of a proprietary system of organization for all the Stuck Stuff.

> I have so far not found a therapist, friend, or mentor who is of any help.

I'm gonna be straight up with you here and share that this can sometimes be a giant flag to somebody like me. (I won't say red, but it's a flag) I have learned that the flag reads either:

"I need to learn to solve my own problems; mostly I believe in my own problem-solving capacity. I'm sorry but I may also be picking apart your words like a critic/skeptic; can't help it"

Or

"I need to share my own perspectives on why and how everything sucks; after that I will pretty much figure out the rest and mysteriously vanish."

If this is you, you may want to try looking at these outside resources as more of a periodic kickstart or accountability check-in for yourself, as opposed to a lasting therapeutic fix or cure.

Good luck to you.

The paper does not make conclusions about whether the vaccinated are more likely to be asymptomatic - but in case you are interested the results are presented in Table 1.

Of The 69 cases infected, 47 developed symptoms (median 4 days post diagnosis), which is 68% of cases. Viral loads for symptomatic cases was higher (page 11).

Key points: there is not enough information here to draw conclusions about the infectiousness of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated individuals, or about whether vaccinated individuals are more likely to be asymptomatic. This paper does not even try to draw such conclusions.

I’m not sure who lobbied for this legislation, but I have a gut feeling a company like Facebook is behind some of the money. What a Trojan horse, a government legislated third party Facebook App Store on your IPhone/Android that incentivizes developers to build apps that plug into the FB ecosystem. Lower percentage cut taken by Facebook, with the ultimate caveat - no privacy, all your user data is ours, oh and ads, lots of them.

My understanding was that moderna had 3x more active vaccine ingredients and lower cold chain requirements, while Pfizer also needed to be mixed / prepared before injection.

It seems like Pfizer had more opportunties go wrong especially when rollout was outside of hospital settings and at population scale. My understanding was initially Pfizer was limited to hospitals in Canada, but ended up in pharmacies and other temporary sites.
