The underdog thing never made any sense. Bitcoin is just another USD clone but with some stupid rules about money issuance that makes the USD's construction flaws appear pathetically small.

USD and Bitcoin are "slow money" or "scarce money" depending on what you want to call them. The velocity of money keeps going down or the supply doesn't go up to counteract the slow down in velocity, which is something that is incompatible with a real economy. It's especially incompatible with positive interest rates. So what happens is that people stop working.

The only difference with Bitcoin and USD is how the money is created. With USD banks grant credit (bank money). With BTC miners literally just print money out of thin air and pay themselves, but note, there is a BTC economy and 99% of it consists of printing money ahem mining. Bitcoin itself proves that creating money isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, what it gets wrong is that the flaws aren't about how money is created, it's what is done with the money after it is created. People hoard USD on bank accounts or as cash with a guaranteed risk free 0% return even when the real economy has declined. So now the dollar is competing with the real economy for capital. People abandon the real world in favor financial games. Does that sound familiar? It's the exact same thing with Bitcoin. Bitcoin's value goes up faster than the real economy can catch up, so people will accumulate Bitcoin to get those "above real economy" returns, while abandoning the real economy.

Really, the biggest difference is that the USD is legal tender. In practice people wouldn't accept such extortion from the remaining holders of USD and issue their own "fast money" with a constant velocity of money built into it. That money isn't Bitcoin. There are hundreds of regional currencies around the world.

He’s making a useful point, but doing a really poor job of it. That article creates a graph from thin air as far as I can see based on arbitrary assumptions via cherry picked estimates to make a point. For example only listing city driving and limited access highways.

“If we reduce the estimate ratio of accidents/mile on freeway and non-free to just 2.3:1 (as a number from another source suggests) the chart shows Autopilot slightly below non-Autopilot until Q1 2020, then being around 15-20% better in 2020”

So, he’s also estimating it may have been slightly worse before 2020 and significantly better in 2020, yet he’s happy to post the 0.9 number based on what exactly?
>> Obesity is probably the root cause of both

Equally, lower testosterone levels often result in diminished activity and less muscle mass, leading to weight gain.

But the primary cause of reduced testosterone is age. The trick to avoiding all of these problems is to not be old. Stay at 18 and you are less likely to suffer any of these things.
In hindsight, I wish I'd written "good families don't do that," but I meant it in the same sense as "families love each other" or "families look out for one another." Of course, there are many families that hate each other's guts, but when someone says their team is "like a family," they're not talking about those types of families.

We're all speculating here, of course, but I would expect it to be rather difficult to simulate both the static properties of the finished bridged and the dynamics of putting it together, which is obviously an important part of the process (see the keystone anecdote).

I am sorry you had to go through that experience. But you are one those 1 or 2% rare and unlucky cases that are known to happen, who have some severe reaction to the vaccines. That said, I am shocked that you were vaccinated without your knowledge. I am very pro-vaccine, but would never support someone being vaccinated against their will.
If you have strong connections with the people and you are leaving for reasons they can understand and respect, there's no reason to equate leaving the company with leaving the family. It's more like moving out of your parent's house - you won't see them as much, and it'll become more of an effort to maintain your relationships, but all that history is still there.
T-Mobile confirms fifth data breach in three years
Vaccines reduce the chance of a new variant by reducing the number of copies of the virus made in society. Every copy is a chance to mutate. Vaccines don’t create more mutations, any more than a person with zero immune response will produce fewer. They will produce more, because the virus will replicate more.

Covid Vaccine Booster Shot Review Postponed by CDC Amid Debate
I used to really hate Go's attitude to generics and type system features in general. I still do, but I appreciate that it's a matter of taste, and that different people have different tolerances for language complexity. People who like simplicity can use Go and people who like type systems can use Rust.
don't agree at all. If the "native thing" came at an overhead, your hands would be tied. If the "native thing" didn't expose api for the styling you wanted to do, your hands would be tied.

webdev is incredibly flexible by the very nature of "build it yourself", and that's a good thing.

Having performance impact from badly optimized implementation is a testament to this flexibility - what you are saying is akin to "C is bad because i could fk up memory"
I work at a big corporate and we use a national workplace survey that asks if you have a best friend at the office. It’s one of the measures or organization health.

I see the survey results across a pretty big portion of the organization so I understand my answer is one of the lonely few. I always answer ‘no’ because I really don’t have a best friend at work.

A best friend is someone you like, enjoy loads of spending time with and maybe most importantly can trust with just about anything. It happens that I don’t really have true friends at work but I have people I care for and would be there for if they needed. That doesn’t make us friends, it makes us decent people.

I try to keep a healthy level of separation between work life and home life. I don’t want to know office gossip because I want to be able to continue looking at my colleagues as professionals. I also want the diversification that should I ever leave the company my whole life won’t be blown up because it was attached to the company.
Who redacted this in the first place, and how would it have been sealed? Much of it is clearly redacted for PR reasons, and I don't really understand how there could be any excuse for keeping it hidden.

As one who doesn't natively have a lot of EQ, my experience has been that people have been able to explain it to me.

It's not an easy or pleasant process, though.

I strongly recommend Marshall Rosenberg's book Nonviolent Communication.

It teaches a method communicating which, when followed, pushes you into introspection, understanding why your emotions are what they are, understanding what it is you want, and communicating those things clearly to other people.
It sounds like you're trying to use APIs with your personal account rather than using a service account though? Again, I use Advanced Protection and I've never encountered the problem you're describing.
These extra features could help it narrow things down more quickly, but CF doesn't need any of this to get good quality- what I described needs _no_ features, only the observation of interactions between users. It tries to find a pattern to explain the successful interactions, by generating a set of features for each user and optimizing it to fit the data.

I have used a debugger, most recently on a VB.NET web application that someone else wrote and that I had to maintain. I could not have done without the debugger there. But I haven't touched the application in several years now.

Before that--almost twenty-five years ago--I figured out how to use the COBOL "animator" to find out why Peoplesoft payroll processing was crashing on us. There was no way in the world to have figured that out without the animator.

These days, though, I mostly use print or logging.debug

> But aren't the new vaccines of a different kind? Genetically engeneered?

Only some are (those based on mRNA and DNA). There are many others based on older biotech (using inactivated virus) too. I think some of the protein based vaccine, like Novavax, are also older tech than mRNA / DNA based ones, and have been studied longer (someone more experienced can chime in and correct me if I am wrong).
Could you explain the high amount of alpha/delta mutations as vaccines started to roll out and as they became available to everyone?

https://nextstrain.org/ncov/open/global

If virus's infection rate becomes too low, new mutations and variants with ability to get through defenses have that much higher chances of becoming the new dominant variant/mutation.

Essentially it is kind of king of the hill battle with variants where when you push down one, another will appear, with maybe completely different symptoms.
I roll my eyes when someone claims "I learned Go over the weekend". It's one thing to learn basic syntax, and completely another to learn the customs of your new environment so most can understand what you are doing.

Go is one of the hardest languages to learn. First of all, some concepts in it are very different from "mainstream" languages, and it takes a while to get used to them.

Simple things that exist in almost every other ecosystem can be absent in Go. Want to run setup code before your test suite? You on your own, buddy. And, oh yeah, 2/3 of your code will be `if err` statements, because exceptions are passé.

I learned it by seeking out good Go codebases, which are incredibly rare. Hashi's Terraform comes to mind.

Infamously, the early Kubernetes code was a nightmare because it lifted and shifted Java idioms and that was at the company that invented the Language.

Or at Uber, where they passed on Go's native goroutines and channels in favor of homegrown concurrency, for SOME reason: https://eng.uber.com/go-geofence-highest-query-per-second-se...

All this to show that Go is not a simple language to do well, so let's dispense with that myth.

It has its uses, but having done it, I would never recommend Go for a greenfield project in my place of work - there are very few rules that come with it, and it requires tons of coordination and discipline among a team. And if you have to work with 2 or 3 other people who have strong opinions on how to do things in Go, watch out.
Yeah, the scientists at the NIH aren't 'lobbyist scientists' (I think that's who you mean?), so if you think they are that, well, there's no real point in trying to discuss it.

The idea that the government overseeing efficacy study design invites corruption is also sort of tedious. Just deciding to regulate something reaches that same low bar of inviting corruption, but that would not be a good reason to not have regulation.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long while, coming from the "overpaid executive class".
It’s not a real problem. The masses are not using crypto for anything.
By your reasoning the eradication of smallpox or polio (in developed countries) would have been impossible.

The human immune system and environmental barriers between hosts are the primary selective pressures on the virus. Those exist in the absence of any countermeasures.

If it was vaccines driving selection then the more infectious strains would have emerged in areas of the world that had early access to vaccines. That is not what happened.

Vaccines squeeze the reservoir of susceptible hosts where mutations can occur. Also my understanding is that the SARS-CoV-2 genome is relatively stable compared to other viruses as Coronavirus RDRP has pretty high fidelity. But I could be wrong about that last one.
It’s nice and poetic. These thoughts will leave any non modern human in peril in the savanna or most wildernesses because nature doesn’t care and can be utterly violent.

I would call this attitude the privilege of modernity that disconnects people from immediate danger affording them these mental exercises that would in another time imperil them.

Better idea: Declare open season on vaccine disbelievers. Issue hunting permits and dart guns. Google and Facebook can help. Anyone posting anti-vaccine rants will have their location added to the hunting ap. With the number of hunters in Florida the problem could be solved by the end of the week.

Seriously, this is gone far enough. We have a government talking about cutting back on water because hospitals are overwhelmed with the unvaccinated. Two of the greatest public health revolutions, modern hospitals and clean water, are now fighting each other for resources.
Being able to play board games with no-registration looks nice.
> Yeah, the scientists at the NIH aren't 'lobbyist scientists' (I think that's who you mean?)

No, that's not what I mean. The scientists at Moderna are effectively lobbying for the effectiveness of their product and "inviting" NIH to apply a thin veneer of respectability by "participating" in their studies. It's no different from getting scientists at a large research university from "participating" in a large, well-funded corporate study; merely the association of the well-known brand gives the study a certain gravitas, but, and perhaps more importantly, bathes it in an aura of independence.

If I invent a new vitamin supplement and claim to have clinical studies that it does anything at all, fine. If I invite the FDA to "participate" in the studies, and they accept, then that instantly changes everything.

And if those seemingly independent FDA scientists then actively shill (or even demand) that my product be widely deployed, even better.

And NIH is doing a lot more beyond "regulating". If that was all they were doing, we'd have no argument, but NIH is actually issuing "public health" decrees that are becoming de facto mandates for hundreds of millions of people, and keeping secret any data that might go against their preferred narrative.

Why was Janet created? There must have been a purpose or niche that caused its inception. If the reason was, "I wanted to write a language," that's not enough to use it in certain situations.
>Yes, but the actual results from Israel and elsewhere suggest that, in this case, infection is better protection. It's not the naturalistic fallacy, it's what we're actually seeing.

I heard an anecdote from a monk once. He knew someone into activism, trying to save something-or-other, I don't remember what. Then, one day, the monk opened a book, and to his utter astonishment there was a picture of the guy. He was in charge of executions.

Do you think the consumer would have been better off if Microsoft was the hardware manufacturer too, back then?
It feels like I could find a line, to rationalize what happened or not to MS or Apple.

But in reality, in the wake of 9/11, USA thought it was more important to have extremely large companies, and it let them grow.

(And MS’ EU fine was related to not giving the API doc, and perhaps using fines as a political weapon).

Clearly, if US applied the anti-monopoly laws, it would shoot its own companies. In my opinion however, no single entity should dominate, govt or enterprise, and we must parcel large ones to keep competition fair, replacements rolling, class mobility high, the american dream possible for new entrants and more importantly, so that governance of our daily life is regularly given to the next generation.
The actual chemical used in treatment here is ozone, not oxygen. Ozone is not stable enough to be transported any great distance, so it has to be made on-site, which involves zapping oxygen with electrical arcs. The oxygen feed must be a pure oxygen atmosphere, unless you want your ozone to be heavily contaminated with various nitrogen oxides. So you need pure oxygen in industrial quantities, which means shipping in liquid oxygen.

Industrially, oxygen comes from filtering it out of the air--air is about 22% oxygen, after all. It's possible to do that on site, but the maintenance of the machine to filter it isn't really worth it compared to just ordering a new tanker of liquid oxygen every few days.

Another issue with breaking up water molecules is you need a fairly pure source of water to do that. The water in a water treatment plant is anything but pure.

It's a well-known and studied fact in the global north, keyword "gentrification". For example french government's statistical body INSEE has detailed statistics on that, which claim 2.6M empty dwellings france-wide (not counting secondary housing, and not counting industrial/office space).

The "housing crisis" is a scam organized by landowners and public authorities to further land-based speculation. Back when there was last a real housing crisis in Europe after WWII's destructions, governments setup public/social housing programs see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLM

When the people with power and privilege actually want to fix something, they can actually do it. There's just no incentive for them to solve the housing problem when they or their friends directly benefit from driving prices upwards. Of course, in the 1940-50s the incentive was the risk of "communism", and most capitalist economies (even the USA under Roosevelt) adopted strong social measures. To give context on that for example, France's communist party had 20-30% of votes in legislative elections at that time. I'm definitely no supporter of the communist party, but i would understand how a third of the country's electorate voting for communists would put pressure on the right-wing to develop social measures and fast.
