> The rates of those outcomes are extremely higher for the actual disease.

But the risk of catching the disease is less than 100%. So you need to weigh the risk of the vaccine versus your risk of catching the disease AND dying.

Do the probability of negative outcomes of AZ for women 20-40 versus the probability of catching Covid during a given timeframe AND dying for that same age group.

There's a reason many countries don't use AZ, and that some who do used it only for older patients. Canada for example doesn't even use AZ anymore. I believe it's still not approved for use in the US either. This isn't some conspiracy, lots of countries have highlighted the risks and don't use the vaccine.

Also this isn't an anti-vaxx post (I literally have 2 doses of Pfizer), it's a realistic post about the risks.
> If you needed a full kitchen and laundry, well, that would be the BnB, wouldn't it?

No, that would typically be a “vacation rental” (often, these are also available as timeshares) or an “extended stay hotel” (in-unit facilities are similar, other features and target market tend to differ as the names suggest.) A BnB (which AirBnB’s usually are not) is a “Bed and Breakfast”, which is basically a boutique hotel featuring complimentary full breakfast, usually in a shared-table setting with other guests. They are kind of (in terms of the direction of variation from typical hotels) the opposite direction of vacation rentals with full in-unit laundry and kitchen facilities.
Java moved from 1.4 to 1.5 and just stopped displaying the 1.

The reason was that they committed to never to any "major braking change" i.e. that there would never be a version 2.

At the same time the backwards compatibility guarantees didn't work always as good as some people liked so they decided to move from semver to something which is like "only do minor releases, but sometimes imperfect making them somewhat major releases but also somewhat not".

What I advocated for differs in that I want to keep semver. So when you move from e.g. 0.32.0 to 32.0.0 you still would only inc minor version for non braking changes and the patch version for patches.

Through this means that you now can denote path updates, as in 0.32 the minor updates are like major updates and the patch updates are like minor updates.

This can be especially useful when development release speed slows down and you want to make a new release with e.g. just fixing some API docs or just non API exposed bug fixes.

You're thinking of budget hotels, but there's a smaller market of higher end "bed and breakfast" or "inn" style hotels that offer more amenities like an Airbnb but with less regulatory discretion. Those used to be way more expensive than airbnbs but now they're pretty similar. I imagine this is heavily regional though since community-level short term rental legislation is obviously driven by the desires of the specific community advocating for it.
> The very first paragraph says that Trump wasn't under investigation. That was a central part of the conspiracy theory.

That's not what the Washingtontimes wrote.

That's a lot of words that could be been summed up as 'the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.'

Was it legal, justified, moral? Those things are all debatable. I'm firmly on the side that a thin pretense such as 'foreign interference' is no justification for spying on a political campaign.

What a surprise, the government found itself innocent. Unfathomable.
This is one of my annoyances as well. Copy the credit card number... go to paste it. Come back and you have to find the credit card again and then copy the next bit... then go paste and when you come back you're once again presented with the full list so you have to go find the credit card again.

I've found just opening the main app to be a better solution in these cases, but it sure is annoying.

It’s often significantly cheaper for me to order takeout through DoorDash with all the promos/rebates/points than to call in an order with the restaurant themselves.

I’m sure this isn’t all subsidies and is likely Doordash squeezing the restaurant in some way (eg forcing them to accept a lower margin on doordash orders, not letting them charge differently on their own vs through doordash for the same items, etc) but it’s pretty good for the consumer in the short term.

I’ve also had some insane deals for grocery and convenience store deliveries where the cost of food + delivery inclusive of all fees was less than if I had gone to pick it up myself. If you’re buying frozen or shelf stable food that’s almost like free money.

This is plain silly. Even centralized payment settlement systems do depend on thousands of lines of closed source code that contain bugs. Banking backends have bugs. Cars have bugs. Even buildings may have fuck ups that need to be dealt with after construction.

If you think it through you simply can not rely 100% on anything humans build. But still societies as a whole thrive and human progress is real.

DeFi is no exception. It’s designed to make banking cheaper. But it’s new technology and will take some time to mature.

Personally, I believe banks won’t exist in the traditional sense anymore 20 years in the future if you like it or don’t. I mean, I love steam locomotives but I don’t expect them to be a common means of transportation ever again. ;-)
It doesn't matter -- we're in a post truth era where political affiliation matters more than facts and every side will circle the wagons with their own. Evidence has become less credible than who is supplying it and why.

There was an excellent production of this at York's (UK) Theatre some years ago. If you can find a recording (they released a performance on youtube during the pandemic though I don't know if that is still available, legitimately or otherwise) I recommend trying it.

I went thinking “this isn't going to work on stage without major changes” but was pleasantly surprised.
> If Netflix financed the show, and Netflix streams the show, and Netflix has global distribution

The number of shows where Netflix has genuinely global distribution can be counted on one hand, since they don't operate in China and tend to very deliberately not pay a bunch of money for rights they can't do anything with.

> You don't have to install those apps, lol. You can feel free to tell Facebook to GTFO off of the phone that you own, by merely not installing it.

You are correct, I can simply not install those apps that I believe violate privacy rules of the platform. However, in this case, I will not be able to sleep worry-free after handing my barely technologically literate parents an iPhone anymore, because they will immediately install all the random crap without any second thoughts about privacy. Switching my mother away from android to an iPhone (and subsequently, from Windows to macOS) has reduced my "home IT troubleshooting" workload to pretty much nil. I don't want to go back to how it was before. That's pretty much why I got my mom an iPhone, so that her device can be fairly secure without tons of guidance and troubleshooting on my end.

The wild west of "I am a responsible person, so I can decide what's good to install and what isn't, because I can evaluate this on my own" isn't the kind of a situation I want to put my parents in. I want them to not worry about it and be able to install whatever apps they can without any major worries about malware or privacy or breaking their device, and that's why I switched them to iOS.

>Apple's content review change is explicitly FOR reporting people to police in a way that can be expanded beyond it's currently set purpose (child porn) later.

I think it would be very hard to expand this beyond it's currently intended purpose, for the reasons I've given. It's terrible for identifying dissidents because it only catches them if they upload to iCloud servers. Dissidents are much more likely to be tech savvy than random child molesters. The reports have to go through Apple, and don't go directly to the cops. Also it's a global image profile list so it's not possible to keep country specific updates secret.

An effctive surveillance mechanism would need to change all of these.

Maybe Dropbox's is the best out of a bunch of mediocre syncing solutions. However, I do wish to add that Dropbox struggles with scale: lots of small files slow down sync to a crawl and spin CPU at 100%.

Concretely, I had a certain folder with 100,000+ small files for some research I was doing with a collaborator. It took my laptop 24 hours to sync this folder, and throughout my CPU was at 100% throughout. For comparison, rsync got the same job done in a few minutes. See https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/space-storage/file... , the above terrible experience is in line with this caveat.
Yeah, but that’s just laziness on Apple’s part. They could easily move those restrictions to the OS itself, rather than the App Store. Then, it would be consistently applied, since it wouldn’t be done by human review.

I would point out that the article you linked mentions that webapps "added to the home screen" on iOS Mobile Safari are exempt from this garbage-collection process. In such a case, the "add to the home screen" step is being taken as the user expressing the explicit desire to have that data around indefinitely. Which seems sensible to me; webapps should be treated as ephemeral-by-default, and only be allowed persistent storage if the user goes to lengths (i.e. beyond just clicking "Accept" on a modal) to express their desire to keep the data.

(And also, I've observed that webapps that notice they're on an iOS device can insist on being "added to the home screen" before they'll do anything, and so ensure their data stays around.)

The problematic aspect of this, is that there's no equivalent of this "exemption by user explicitly expressing the desire to keep the app around" for non-mobile Safari.

Maybe for desktop Safari, the data should be kept around if the web app's rel="canonical" URL is bookmarked in the browser?

Or desktop Safari could just support regular Progressive Web App standards, and so show an "Install App" indicator (like e.g. desktop Chrome does for this webapp: https://www.soundslice.com/). But I have a feeling Apple will never support this on desktop...
> As in, to describe actual human slavery?

Sorry, but I do not understand the question. Do you mean as to distinguish slavery relationship in logical systems (as with databases) versus human relations? If so, that wasn’t my intention.

What I was talking about was more about a euphemism replacing an actual word, as with taboo avoidance:

> This terminology for the animal originated as a taboo avoidance term: proto-Germanic tribes replaced their original word for bear — arkto — with this euphemistic expression out of fear that speaking the animal's true name might cause it to appear. According to author Ralph Keyes, this is the oldest known euphemism. [0]

I don't think this would be the case, since these firms are actively market-making using USDT. I.e., they're not just turning fiat into crypto using USDT, but they are also market-making in USDT/BTC, USDT/ETH, etc.

My understanding is that Alameda is trading with fairly high frequency, so they would keep funds in USDT in order to facilitate those trades. Further, the on-chain data suggests that they don't trade out of USDT to USD – otherwise we'd see high corresponding USDT burns.
Unfortunately, that isn't how Uber works. If someone was on the way and cancelled a ride, that is largely wasted time for the driver. The incentives for the driver are to come pick you up and get you in their car as soon as possible (thats when they start earning per minute, per km money).

What is more likely that occurred is that they either saw where you were going (which is revealed upon the ride request being accepted, they can only see how far away ETA wise you are from them when accepting and recently some passenger rating information, experiments have been done about showing the approximate pay of rides before accepting as well) and decided not to pick up OR they are multi-apping and found a closer ride (again not likely on this second one because repeated cancelling of rides lowers the likelihood you will get future rides of high value - given you are killing the user experience for the rider).

You mentioned black cab which leads me to believe you might be in New York or Europe and yes, service there is definitely better but for MOST of the US, cabs were notoriously fickle and would RARELY show up on time and even if they did would then sometimes just leave once they heard where you were going or their card reader would "malfunction" just as you finish the ride.

Regardless of all other factors, Twitter is a moderated forum, and "showing you disagree with admin action by doing the same thing that got another user's account locked will get your account locked" is pretty bog-standard forum administration.
This needs to be seen in the larger context. The ruling party came to power by using social media (along with the MSM) much more effectively than the others.

I think they are a bit concerned with the way Trump was de-platformed by the US tech companies and want to make sure it doesn't happen to them - so want to "reign" them in. Hence the series of incidences with twitter (compliance issue, tagging fake information etc).

The above incident that happened is reprehensible. Also if prosecuted, the identity of one of the alleged culprit may not gel well with the ruling party's agenda.

I think the ruling party remembers history, a similar incident occurred in 2012 when the current opposition was in power[1], which led to a society wide backlash.

Now add to the fact that major states in India go to polls next year and national elections in 2024 and you get the motivations of everybody involved.

This is the broader context.

Don't worry, they have been and will be. Monitoring dragnets filled with normal people are attractive because squeezing a dime out of a few million people is profitable. But the real monitoring will be of wealthy, powerful people, for the purpose of manipulation and blackmail.
Well, I woudln't call using IndexedDB "exactly that". As IndexedDB is rather fleeting. You don't use a server, that is correct. But IndexedDB goes away under many circumstances.

Fun fact: the alleged perp a progressive democrat politically. By his own words, he may have lit the fires because he's upset that Trump didn't "mea culpa" being a jerk and evil!

Quoting the alleged arsonist himself:

“Donald Trump’s lack of or unwillingness to self-reflect in order to self-improve, and his lack of empathy while being threatened with his first major, public, political and personal defeat, might activate a sense of the need for the use of violence, violent protests by his supporters or outright sabotage of the nation by locking down the economy or some other major act to damage the nation before he is forced to leave office, if he loses,”

I think the current state is fine. You ship your WASM-blob of SQLite, which has the exact bug-compatible version of SQLite that you've tested your app against. The browsers are not burdened with maintaining a huge API surface that can "break the web".

Otherwise you'd have to deal with different versions of SQLite in different browsers, most likely outdated, with many options turned off. SQLite is full of quirks and gotchas, so it's safest to ship your version in your app.

The true ethics violation here is creating devices to be "sold" while retaining control over their new supposed owner. Unfortunately, the digital/software engineer's main recourse to ethical violations is to quit, and someone else will just take their place. As the digital honeymoon wears off and we become keenly aware of communications technology's authoritarian potential, I hope there is a different type of resistance forming within all of these systems of control.
