UK here.

We have a good coverage of vaccinations, most of the vulnerable are doubly vaccinated. However we are going to have a bad winter.

We have just under three times the number of ICU beds as Alabama (3.9 per 100k[1] vs the UK's 7.5 per 100k[2]) but we have a a decent number of those bed already occupied by covid patients.

The vaccine isn't a magic thing that'll stop hospitals filling up. Yes, it reduces the fatality by 1/4 and length of stay of the average patient. but it won't help if all your population gets ill at the same time.

The UK will almost certainly have a "fourth" wave in winter. We will have to cancel emergency care.

How Much Does Integration with Facial Recognition Software Cost?
Some facial recognition services are cost-effective in development but very expensive in the production stage. We compared facial recognition services, calculated their costs, and found the optimal ways for integrating facial recognition software.
I wonder what proportion of the carbon in a plant comes from fertilisers vs CO2 taken in while growing?

It looks like some fertilisers do contain carbon - but not all. Eg ammonium nitrate doesn't, urea does. The ammonia tends to be produced using methane - so right now the fertiliser production process does produce vast amounts of CO2 (but that isn't carbon which goes anywhere near the cow).

The CO2 from ammonia production seems solvable (assuming an abundant supply of non-fossil fuel energy) through the electrolysed hydrogen -> ammonia route. Would that be enough, or is the carbon locked up in minerals used in phosphate production also a major source of CO2?
At some point we'll realize that all income tax is regressive, and that property/wealth taxes (including on owned stocks, crypto, etc.) are the only thing that makes sense.

Cash, frankly, doesn't matter at this stage of capitalism. Equity and assets do.
You're getting downvoted because the same thing happens every time someone wants to fix mathematics education: People who learned it "the old way" insist that there can be no other way.

Somehow people think that applying calculus rules is "real maths" and "experimenting with shapes and intuiting a result" is not, but that's not true, and it's especially not true when those calculus rules were arbitrarily memorised at some point (because most people never derive calculus from the real number axioms).

I agree with your general point, but I think “the movie was like candy“ could be a perfectly reasonable simile to make. Maybe the movie was flashy but had no substance?

I’m not sure if I expect modern language models to work at that level of abstraction though? I guess you need a larger generated fragment to assess if the hypothetical sentence was statistical nonsense or part of some larger conceptual sequence

Website feedback:

1. On the pricing page, does “teammate” mean “users”?

When you say “teammate” I think “me plus one teammate” (two users total). If it's just one user, “teammate” feels misleading. The page switches to “collaborators” for Enterprise pricing, which I assume also means “users”.

2. The top menu of the site homepage (rather than the app) is not visible for me until I hover over it (Chrome 92.0.4515.131 on macOS 11.5.1, no content blockers, all extensions disabled): https://imgur.com/a/ZNed9TY

3. I see these errors in the console of the site homepage (although they don't seem to affect usability):

1. Signup was smooth for me. (Google sign-up, email in my HN account.)

2. I followed the Kindle demo. It wasn't clear that I had to click the + button on the table to add a field at first. (I would say, “It's time to define the table's structure. Click the + button to create your first field.” instead of, “It's time to define the table's structure. Let's create a field.” Or actively highlight the + to bring focus to it.

3. I got stuck at the “Let's checkout our newly created APIs” step. It seems to prompt me to click the Docs tab and then the API tab in an infinite loop. https://imgur.com/a/RALAyKJ

4. The Marketplace page in the app isn't loading for me even after selecting a Product Type and Industry. (https://app.canonic.dev/dashboard/marketplace/samples ) I see these console errors: https://imgur.com/a/xm95AEZ

5. Overall the promise of visual backend creation with GraphQL and REST access, webhooks/triggers, and automatic documentation seems great. I'll try to make time to play with this some more.
Seems that there was no manager and constant "architectural" discussions because everyone wanted only to show off how smart they are.

There are companies where no one from business side knows what is going on in development and they are not interested. They just pour money into dev and what they know it is only that "development is expensive and takes a lot of time".

I bet the goal was something like "just ship the system" which probably never happened or took a lot of time. Maybe even devs making their own requirements according to what they think is needed.

So I think you are too charitable with such interpretation that there were some goals or managers at all.
They did not in my case. Here is the UA string. It looks like a normal client a user might have:

> Musk is losing money because of the reusability of his rockets. If he had never pursued reusability he would have made far, far more money from his launch business. Only now, after 10 years, are his reusable rockets just starting to break even with the cost of an expendable rocket (after reuse not before). He is pursuing reusability because it is his passion project, not because there is any money to be made from it.

Spacex can launch more rockets per year because they don't need to keep building a first stage. That's how they could launch almost 2k Starlink satellites already. If you look at the statistics, most of the launches for 2020 and 2021 have been on reused boosters.
Google and Facebook caved to Australia on its Murdoch-inspired racketeering, there is no evidence whatsoever of Apple having a stiffer spine. Australia also has some of the worst laws on Internet freedom and privacy in the world, not just in the West.

Also, the Australians would require Apple to use the Australian version of the NCMEC operated by their government. Remember, Apple only has the fingerprints of the CSAM files, not the actual files themselves (only the NCMEC can legally hold them), so they have no way to check whether the Australians inserted the fingerprints for the Afghanistan Papers to the database at the behest of their US buddies.
You don’t have to do that.

I also work remote, in a different time zone to my team who communicate mainly on slack. I would never consider installing it on my phone.

Yes, it is possible that somebody will send me a message when I’m not at my machine. They’ll get a response the next morning I’m in.

Reducing methane emissions is a quick win (and "only" requires us to shift diets away from beef) which buys us more time to deal with fossil CO2 which I agree is the main problem.

Also, a lot of forest destruction is associated with beef production (often via soya) so again it's something we could get a short-term gain from and longer-term we need to reduce CO2 and forests are the only proven technology for doing that.
This feels a bit like saying that subtraction is partial because it always treats its first argument as positive and its second as negative.

It's important to be aware of the asymmetry in the Gale-Shapley algorithm (and i wasn't - thank you), and to not accidentally (or intentionally!) use it in an unfair way. But if someone does, it is they who have introduced the partiality, not the algorithm.

PS It seems there are at least two algorithms for solving the stable marriage problem equitably, one given in this paper, and one it mentions given by Knuth and attributed to Selkow:

sounds like a free market model to me.

Anyhow free-market is a meaningless label akin to socialism.

People misuse it so much that it lost any meaning.

Free-market means legislative anarchy of anything to do with markets. The moment the is a mandate ie corn subsidies, banned substances its no longer free by the definition.

They're already “paying for others' research”, because you're allowed to copy what Apple does.

I wish Kurtzman had gotten the memo.
A lot of older cars had excellent MPG figures but actually polluted more than current cars, especially diesels. Also, cars have largely gotten bigger and heavier, which hurts efficiency.
Ok, forgive me, it's hard to derive data from an MP4 file. I have to scroll the scrub bar and try to fixate it on the low points from each year. Ok, let's take 2003-2012, since 2002 was an incomplete year (the year GRACE launched).

Low point in 09-2003 was at -393GT from when GRACE launched. By 09-2012, it reached -3333GT. That's a 294 GT / year loss for the first decade. From 2012-2020, it has still gone down to 207GT/year loss (and will go lower when 2021 is factored for).

So no, it still does not answer my question. Clearly on the chart just visually inspecting it, you can see the deceleration in trend.

Back to the original question: what is causing the deceleration and given that 2021 continues strongly that deceleration trend, what do you expect the next decade holds?

Of course it makes it a little warmer, but the point is, the most important factor that makes Arctic Ocean... well... arctic... is whether it reflects sunlight or not.

Water is dark and accepts a lot of sun's energy, getting warmer.

With ice present it reflects a lot of that energy back to space.

The amount of energy difference we are talking about is astounding. The Gulf Stream, as large as it is, pales in comparison to the amount of sunlight reflected by patch of snow the size of entire Arctic Ocean.

Now, I don't want to say Gulf Stream is insignificant. It will definitely have huge effect, especially on Europe where I live.

The most important effect, per my understanding, is less rainfall. Because that warm water vaporizes and those vapors tend to turn to rain/snow over Europe.

Shift in wind patterns I don't understand so can't elaborate.
While ammonium nitrate itself does not contain any CO2 producing it does release it as our energy system is not carbon free (yet).

Given that rationing care is inevitable, it's time to start prioritizing vaccinated individuals, those unable to get vaccinated, and non-COVID patients when doing triage and allocating ICU beds.

If individuals refuse to get vaccinated, they are increasing the chances that if I get into a car accident I don't get care.

This is literally the definition of a negative externality, and it's very easy to internalize this externality: triage prioritization.

My intent is not to punish these individuals or to make this a moral issue / blame them. It is simply to recognize the cost their choices have on others and to make them bear the cost of their actions we opposed to it being thrust on others.

Cachix is really awesome.

There's a few blog posts about using AWS S3 as a binary cache so you can roll your own.

Unfortunately, this is really slow due to Nix using Brotli compression at a high compression level. There were some PRs to make the compression method configurable, but the last time I checked, none of them were merged.

It is not really an issue if your outputs are small. But I had a private S3 cache and have some derivations that have large output paths, and it made CI excruciatingly slow.

There is the law and then there are employment contracts. Sometimes these things overlap, intersect or contradict in interesting ways.

I dont think I have ever worked under an IT policy that was anything but 'for work use only' - although that didnt stop me from taking great pleasure at seeing how many work emails were used to sign up for sugardaddie etc whenever they leaked. I was never too fussed - having two phones, two emails, two laptops etc doesn't bother me in the slightest. You lose access to the work phone number / email / storage when you leave anyway so it's really of no use.

I have even come to like the physical separation of work and personal, there are times each needs more than 50% of my attention.
The solution is to either encrypt or evict the secret memory on hibernation, and then decrypt it or have the app derive the secrets again when the user enters their password.

This would require some cooperation with the login program, and maybe with the user app, so it's hard to organize in the Linux world. I think something like this is available on Windows, but I'm not sure.

It would be also great if you could use the graphical login (greeter) to decrypt your disk (at boot or after sleep). I think some of the neccessary infrastructure would be the same for both features.
> Previously, to run a C#/.NET app you would need Windows, Visual Studio, and a license for IIS.

I hate your condescending tone, especially since you are clueless about that and don't seem to be able to perform a simple search

The idea is to use a special encryption scheme (and associated operations). If I take 50 numbers and multiply them by two before asking you to add them, I'll just have to divide the result by two to get the correct answer, and you won't see the data nor the result. Of course, actual schemes are more complex than that.

I think the term "elite" here may be the root of the problem. There are implications that educated people are meant to "rule" society which may not be true (in militarism, true democracy etc.), or that they have skills with no useful applications. Maybe we could try "intellectual workers"?

Even traditional humanities can be used to please people, stimulate them intellectually, organize knowledge and persuade (rhetoric). These may not be trivial to monetize in a market but are still stuff that a developed society needs. Also note that nowadays we don't need boatloads of people to cultivate land with ploughs and sickles and hand produce everything. Maybe the society isn't well organized but it doesn't mean we don't need educated people (indeed, perhaps better educated than modern university system can offer). I think this blog post has some interesting points on history of humanities education for outside professionals: https://scholars-tage.org/for-god-and-progress-notes-on-trai...

Besides I really don't like attempts to solve history by armchair reasoning, instead of empirical evidence. Like the first "theory" of empires failing. When it comes to Rome, there are some examples showing that indeed there were less "great people" war/statecraft accomplishment, but the more apparent (even to the contemporary people) and specific reason being moving to empire from republic. You really didn't want to be too successful because then the emperor would see you as a threat.

There is this public desire to have an unified theory of how civilizations (or "empires", lol) decline. I don't believe we have enough of a sample size, even if we had sufficient historical sources. But there is always unrigorous thinking leaning towards whatever social views the thinker has.
