Your not missing anything, of course.

They are also closed under difference, ie R0 - R1, which means accept all the strings accepted by R0 that aren't accepted by R1. Its very useful. For example, a variable is a token that isn't a keyword can be written succinctly as:

([a-z_][a-z_0-9]*) - (if|then|else|while|for)

Sadly, it was not part of the original re syntaxes so while common now it's not so well known, and the syntax varies wildly. For example, in VIM the above is:

[a-z_][a-z_0-9]*\(if\|then\|else\|while\|for\)\@<!

In Python and other pcre based matches like Perl it would be:

[a-z_[a-z_][a-z_0-9]*(?<!if|then|else|while|for)

They are also closed under conjunction, eg R0 & R1 matches strings that match both R0 and R1. Again it wasn't there in the first re packages and confusingly it (and difference) is called an "assertion" now. But there isn't a lot of difference between them and '|' - they are all just ways of composing regular expressions.

My impression is that the tests are not yet fast, accurate, and noninvasive enough for #4. I'm skeptical that we can vaccinate our way out of this mess completely, and I don't think we can test our way out yet either.

If we can improve the tests sufficiently, though, then I think your plan makes a lot of sense. I think of COVID as fire. Keep the fuel damp (#1, #2, natural immunity), don't pile up too much in one place (#3, low cost forms of social distancing), and watch for flare ups so you can douse them quickly (#4, sorta). Don't worry about putting the fire out, just keep it from burning down the forest.

> We have two broad options for reducing the number of dangerous COVID mutations

This is a false dichotomy, we have way more than two options. Below you'll find that I have supported my claim with exceptionally well cited publications and results from recent high quality clinical trials showing promising results.

A) strategies to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission that exert specific pressure on other proteins (e.g., antiviral prophylactics) [1][2][3][4][5][6]

B) strategies that do not exert a specific selective pressure on the virus (e.g., high-efficiency air filtration, masking, ultraviolet air purification)

C) Vaccines are absolutely part of the answer here. However, compulsory mass vaccination alone is exceedingly unlikely to be a solution - for all the reasons and evidence put forth in the citations of my previous comment - and because data from all over the world is showing that high vaccination rates alone are not preventing the dominance of VOCs [7][8].

This is just a depressing view of people. While it may often be the case, it's not absolute. I just watched a movie last night, and while not a great movie and definitely dramaticized, was based on a true story. Of a (now former) KKK member voting to integrate schools. People are much more complex than I believe you give them credit for.

And that's another issue is that people aren't so one dimensional. For example, many BLM people aren't on the LBGTQ train. Many Trumpers aren't antivaxxers. Many Libertarians aren't anarchists. Point being, there's not a ton you can draw from a crucifix.

As for the movie, CP Ellis is the man's name, if you care to read about him.

Because a lot of people like to leave it off, especially on expensive cars, not exclusive to Tesla. It looks better and the chances of getting a ticket are actually pretty low. There are plenty of people who've driven around without a front plate for many years without getting cited, and it usually just a fix-it ticket without a big penalty. It's not generally because people are ignorant of the law. And it's not required everywhere either.

It's an attack on humans, not on technology. You trick their phone carrier's employees into thinking that you're them and that you lost your phone. Then you end up with a SIM card assigned to their phone number, so you receive all of their calls and texts instead of them.
You create and run one fixup script as root to modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config. That is root writable and not protected by SIP. It is a tiny hassle, but really no big deal. The fixup script can handle any of these cases, assuming they are in config files that are writable.

> The world's richest man had half his wealth taken like that.

If you're talking about Bezos, all of their wealth was made after they got married. The news can say it's "his wealth" but it always belonged to both of them. It's not "taking half his wealth," it's splitting their co-owned assets.
>I just think they should probably pick locations that aren’t as prone to burning as the colville forests.

Or apply a discount factor. eg. for a simple model: if a forest has n Tons of sequestered carbon when fully grown, but every 40 years it gets burned bare for 4 years, then it's really only sequestering 0.9n tons of carbon over the long run.

> So the carving stays locked a bit more long term.

I think you got the adjectives flipped. If anything the sequester is long term, but there's cyclical short term release/recapture.

Some folks may be also interested in his latest endeavor.

https://github.com/fachat/MicroPET

It's quite clever. At it's core, it's PET clone.

But deeper, it's not just a PET clone, but 4 other machines in the PET series.

On top of that it's based on a 65816, has B&W 640x480 VGA graphics, as well as several different text modes. As a cherry on top, it can run 4 "virtual" PETs simultaneously.

This is much closer to a machine that I'm interested in. Fundamentally, a fast 65816 with memory (at least 1MB), UART, and access to a "full speed" USB bus (12.5Mbits), which it boots off of (it could also boot off of an SD Card).

This machine is close. The SPI to the Ethernet and USB is 6MHz, and driven by the CPLD rather than bit banged off the CPU.
The FST mechanism for using an acyclic graph to store information is very reminiscent of GADDAG[1] structure for Scrabble dictionaries.

In my search for interesting problems in the compression space, I ran into quite a lot of genomics research which suggests combining a compression algorithm with a lookup method, because identifying common items between samples reduces both storage and speeds up lookup.

> An FST based data structure as presented in this article does not have this capability. Namely, once it is produced, it cannot be changed.

That is somewhat of a weakness in general for succinct data structures of this sort, which makes it harder to remove data (much easier to maintain a "deleted set" to go with it, but that has problems with a delete + re-add).

Here in California, 2 million acres burned last year and we may well have 2 million acres burn this year (we're up to at least a million). And before 1850, 2 million acres also burned, so we're essentially catching to the average - in the worst way possible. It's global warming and an abused, fire-based ecology, together. And people imagine "plant a tree" is the solution.

So forests here are very ephemeral indeed. The idea that people keeping a forest here forever would fight global warming is mind boggling.

The hypothesis they chose is not the most obvious one to attack, and it ignores the most obvious application of collaborative filtering.

Their hypothesis is that if A likes B, and A likes C then C will like B.

They should instead attack this hypothesis (much more common application of collaborative filtering, think predicting what book you might buy on Amazon):

A likes B, A likes C, D likes B -> D has higher probability of liking C as well

As others have said, you might want to modify sshd_config. However, I disagree that that is a big deal. Just write a little script to fix whatever you want to modify after a major system upgrade. If you are messing with sshd_config, you should now how to write a script to modify it. It is not protected by SIP. I don't understand why so many unix competent people seem to think this is a big problem.

FWIW, there is precedent both in 1918 (when the Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional), and during the revolutionary war (when George Washington made history by vaccinating his troops with a new experiment technique called a vaccine)

When discussing vaccine escape (unlike antibacterial mutation pressure) I seem to usually see it described as an issue for diseases which already have many strains:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigenic_escape. Which wouldn’t yet apply to COVID. And is not a problem for the mRNA technique (which can simply change the target sequence and give a new/booster shot).
Actually, yes. In fact, I was one of the first to submit a thread to HN about "Dropping LSD tonight. What should I do?" when I was 19 or so.

When it was removed and I emailed asking why, he said it was because he didn't want to encourage HN users to do "crazy things." (I'm nearly 100% confident I can dig up the emails if absolutely necessary.)

However, over time, I came to agree with pg's point of view. Prozac is a proven medical solution to a chemical imbalance. I'm happy to hear that shrooms help some, but for me, it was crazy to buy into that old quote of:

> Steve Jobs once said Gates lacked imagination and could have benefited if "he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger," according to Jobs' biography.

Yeah, I swallowed that nonsense hook, line, and sinker. "At least I won't be like stuffy old Gates," I felt.

It was interesting to do both LSD and shrooms. I recommend people try them recreationally once, in safe environments (with preparation), if only to have the experience of seeing just how different your perceptions can become.

But.. a long term medical solution?

Only with a doctor's guidance. If a therapist recommends it, I'm not going to say it's crazy. But if you're hoping it will help you... um... I'll just say that it didn't for me. I hope it helps others, but as you can probably tell, I came away from the experience feeling like it was a load of baloney. Would've been better to just accept it for what it is: an interesting diversion, like going kayaking.

On the flipside, is is highly interesting, and tangentially I think this is one area that would be better served by open discussion in substantive ways. In other words, while it may be true that "just try shrooms and see if it helps you" could be considered "crazy," it's also true that shrooms have apparently helped some subset of people, and that perhaps it's worth considering whether you're part of that subset.

But the key is to go find a domain expert, and do what they say. Don't do what you think. I would (and did) get lost in a sea of confusing, ineffective attempts at solving a serious underlying problem.

Hence my insistence on "find a doctor" (or therapist, as was pointed out in a parallel comment).
Gig work is a new way to work. Just because Uber might go away it does not mean that gig work will disappear, other business models will continue it. I suspect someone will make it work.

I almost agree, and I know the same kinds of people. That's why I mentioned CMD because powershell is more modern.

I'd assume that verifying that non-performing Googlers are actually working, and correcting performance issues, is much harder when they're remote. Most knowledge workers pretty much have to be trusted to perform their jobs, but that trust is much harder when you can observe neither process, progress, or results.

In most knowledge work - not just Google - you're fine as long as you're either putting in effort or getting results. After all, software development has plenty of risks, it's possible to fail to deliver for many reasons other than being lazy. But when you are neither putting in effort nor getting results, that's when you're at risk of getting fired, because the company starts to wonder why they're paying you. Remote work makes it much harder to observe the "putting in effort" piece.
Hence the proposition. I seem to remember the CA Dept of Labor was on the verge of telling Uber and Lyft their gig workers are employees.

I wonder if the Great Filter is really a series of social issues such as these. We spend 5000 years becoming better at warfare, hundreds of thousands of years in tribal conflict, and suddenly the winning move is not to fight but to trade and build.
