>With indications that the real deal is more effective at providing future immunity (simple logic suggests that too)

Simple logic does not suggest that at all. When you're infected, your immune system crushes up and snorts various pieces of the virus to try to understand how to recognize it. The antibodies it makes "naturally" are only effective for the bits on the virus' surface that it can see. It also does so in a moderated way so it doesn't accidentally kill healthy cells. If it happened to snort up a bit on the inside of the virus, it won't help as much as if it snorted up a surface bit.

The RNA vaccine specifically encodes for a highly visible, relatively well-preserved segment of virus (the spike protein), and it comes with an adjuvant that makes your immune system ever so slightly overreact at the site of injection. Your immune system will then go on to "naturally" create antibodies via the same crush and snort process, but they'll tend to be specifically tailored to recognizing the surface spike.

So no, it's not simple logic at all. A simpleton's logic maybe, but not simple.

This is super interesting. What do you think the shape of this project would look like if you were to scale to more people outside of the US? The problem, worldwide, is dramatic.

The reason is simple, it removes your control over your information (to an extent, obviously most site collect internal metrics and logs), right now via browsers and network filtering you can essentially cut off tracking and ads to (excluding fingerprinting) a large degree because you are in control of your browser and network.

Moving all of the tracking and data sharing server-side means there is nothing you can do to stop it other than simply not visit sites that use it and even that isn't so simple because how are you supposed to know if they have implemented server-side tracking other than maybe a vague mention in the ToS or PP?
I checked out listenaddict.com, and saw it addressed a want I've had for some time. And the Search box returned several results for the speaker I want to follow! And then, I noticed there are no dates on the entries.
I don't think it's really a matter of willpower. I experienced multiple burnouts because depression was not an option: I was the black sheep of a demanding and successful family which demanded that I play that role for them, but also demanded that I accept I was really a genius capable of anything, and therefore morally at fault for not achieving everything. I was the chosen one… who'd gone terribly wrong.

As such, I was twisted enough that years of therapy was in order, but really could not let go. To me, five minutes not fretting about how I was going to think up brilliant things and conquer the world, was five unacceptable minutes of being horribly lazy. That's not willpower, that's serious mental illness.

Burnout is just more evidence that serious mental illness is NOT good for you or your productivity. More pressure, past some indefinable point, does not make you more productive.

Any healthy person will rebel, balk, drag their feet and call it whatever (no skin off my nose if you call it burnout). A sufficiently mentally ill person will not be able to rebel, or balk, and will HATE themselves passionately for any moment of feet-dragging, and so they will push harder even while they are miserable… but pay a heavier cost.

Think of it as mental rhabdo (for crossfit fans). Because you are so unhealthy you don't respect any of your own limits, you drive your mental muscles into severe organic collapse and end up flooded with poison, and substantially weaker than you were, for a considerable time. It's not failure of will or collapse of attitude, you manage to mentally break yourself until you don't work and can't think or function.

Bad news. Willpower won't get you there because willpower doesn't automatically mean self-destruction. 'burning out' in smaller ways is MUCH healthier and better in every respect.

Do you feel like you don't like the infrastructure side of things because it's harder to debug problems while being under immense pressure since this usually happens when production is on fire?

Developing code isn't easy but if it's code you've written, you at least always know the problem is with your code or maybe a library you're using. It feels like between Googling and looking at source code or examples there's always going to be an answer. Plus it's a private struggle because this usually only happens in uncommitted code on your dev box while you're working through developing the feature.

With infrastructure issues, it's like you're fully exposed because your site might be down and non-technical people (business higher ups) are being directly affected, and if you're the person responsible for this it all comes back to you.

Plus Kubernetes is Kubernetes. I'm not a veteran with it yet but on a local test cluster I still sometimes run into problems where I end up deleting the cluster and making a new one because after idling for 10 days everything stopped working. That strategy is simply not going to work in production. I'm hoping that's due to kind[0] bugging out and it won't happen on a cloud hosted provider. I'll be deploying a real production workload for a very non-trivial project in the near future.

I don't have any doubts about the competence of US military leaders. I think what lost the war was the political restraints that the military leaders had to work under. Winning would have required a much more aggressive strategy, but they never had the authorization to do that because the politicians were afraid of the anti-war backlash.

That's just my 2 cents.

Unrequested advice:

I try to explain to my kids the underlying life lesson that <my behaviour | their punishment> is trying to teach them. Don't leave it in a journal, leave it in their memories.

Not knowing how old your kids are, but they understand and can take on advice at an earlier age than you might expect. They may have tantrums about it, sure, but your explanations will stick with them, and consolidate the more explanations you give them.

Expecting kids to have common sense about cause and effect ("well, what did you think would happen?") is just so stupid in hindsight - they don't know because they haven't experienced anything with which to compare yet. I still occasionally make this mistake about my own expectations of their experience.

I think helping your kids to understand your reasons will give them a view into the real world in advance of having to enter it. Fore-warned is fore-armed.

One of the best things that's happened for my kids is having a cousin with learning difficulties. We (myself and my better half) have had to explain in great detail how their cousin's behaviour is as a result of the various defence mechanisms that are symptomatic of their learning difficulties and that 'not understanding' something as quickly as everyone else around you inevitably leads to frustration and anger and lashing out. It's not personal, it's their way of dealing with things, and as (generally) intelligent people, we need to have patience for that, whilst at the same time doing what we can to not spark her off, but also not accepting her behaviour if and when she does ignite.

We've had these conversations with the kids many, many times over the course of 7+ years, so it's not a one-shot deal by any means, but it has most certainly sunk in.

Parenting is ad-nauseum repeated effort, very slowly ratcheting up the level of detail of the world around them to match their level of growth and understanding. Don't underestimate what they're actually able to understand.

(I feel very strongly about this, potentially the most important topic in the world. They'll be running it one day, sow the right seeds.)

It's a hard thing to get good data on, but Gallup estimated in 2017 that 4.5% of the US population was gay or lesbian:

That would shift the numbers a little, yeah, but not enough to account for the OP's estimate of a 30:1 male/female ratio.
As far as I can tell the UCB administration is not happy about increasing enrollment. But they don't really have control over this. The UC system decides how many students each campus must accept, and the campuses have to go along with it. UC Berkeley is not in control of this. (I work at UCB, and no one that I know is happy about the overcrowding.)
There is no better time in the history of humanity to be alive for nearly all people (barring those in war zones / communism).

>If you were using a computer 25 years ago, what about then? Made in USA or China?

I don't know. You tell me. You also didn't answer the question. Do you think the US economy shrank by 50% or not?

I see what you're getting at though. Basically, "since everything's made in china rather than the US, it's totally feasible that the US economy shrunk by 50% over 25 years". However, that's flawed for two reasons:

1. "manufacturing" =/= "the economy". As you might know, the US is primarily a services based economy. A quick google search says it accounts for 67% of the GDP.

2. raw gdp only dipped 3.6% in the 2008 recession. 50% is 14x that. I find it hard to believe that our economy experienced fourteen Great Recessions and never recovered.

>Last time I was at LAX 10 years ago it looked worse than a third world country airport

That's not hard to believe, considering that many oil states are loaded with cash and are "third world" (in the truest sense of the word). The third world is also filled with dictators who can fund glamor projects without taxpayer objection. See also: north korea.
It's not nobody, otherwise services like https://koinly.io/ and similar wouldn't exist with support for private wallets, uniswap handling, etc. Unless you can provide some proof for that claim, please don't generalise.
You can "think of quite of few" but you fail to list even a single one. Why even bother to comment if you're just going to say a bunch of nothing?
I, too, have a late 2013 MBP, and just today replaced the battery a second time due to swelling; first time was mid-2018. I also leave my MBP plugged into power all the time, and rarely use it as a laptop apart from my desk, and suspect this may be contributing to lowered battery lifetime. However, 4.5+ years on the factory installed one, and 3 years on the first replacement seemed OK, given the machine has given me no other issues at all in the 8 years I've had it. Both battery repairs were done myself using the excellent iFixit replacement kit and instructions. While I know I have to replace this MBP eventually I'd rather wait until the post-M1 availability shakes out, and I feel confident a replacement MBP won't have the issues that have plagued each years' models from 2015 onward.

> I'd have to immediately start leetcoding and remembering what all those trees are for so that I could become employed again later on

I hate this so much. I spent three months leetcoding and doing mock interviews to pass the interview and get hired into a FAANG company. After deciding to leave the company after a few years, I went straight into interviewing instead of doing prep first thinking it would be a breeze. I bombed. I could tell from my interviewer's faces that they were questioning the validity of my resume due to how badly I was doing.

I eventually went on to get hired by another company that asked me to solve a small problem prior to the interview and discuss my approach, which went very well. I couldn't bring myself to go practice whiteboarding binary search again.

Yes! In 1980 the state of California paid about 80% of the cost of an undergraduate student's education. Today it is about 8%. The state has dis-invested from higher education to fund other things (like prisons).
Very interesting. Why should the liability be any different if its a robot's fault or a human's fault?

These are hard externalities that turn into political and legal fights. The technological reality will never go away.
The "Intent to Deprecate and Remove: Trust in existing Symantec-issued Certificates" is actually dated March 2017 -- that was the date the community started realizing Symantec-signed certs should not be trusted.

That it took until August 2021 (~4.5 years) for that to actually affect trust for some things signed by Symantec certs... seems to say something about the ability of the ecosystem to actually act on removing trust from a CA? Like, if those apps won't open because it's been decided they can't be trusted... 4.5 years ago... and if in fact the apps were totally safe all along, why do they have to be rejected now? What should we take from this about how we understand code-signing and other uses of trusted certs and what they do for us?

I agree with this.

I have been basically, retired, for the last four years.

I’ve worked harder than I have in many years; all self-directed projects. I’ve been crafting a single iOS app, for the last ten months, and there’s months more to go.

It’s been wonderful.
I know it means nothing to people that make this argument but Apple have already said that they won't give in to those demands. If they do, I would expect far more backlash than from just one country.
I may be wrong, but it feels like the same party that was pushing the WMD theory is now pushing the antivax and no mask line.
It is possible to make a set that contains all the set except itself, operationally this pretty simple, I am working on creating a language programming based on set theory, so this will be an easy way to define some notion of universal set.

fn contain(u0:(universal, set), u1:(universal, set)){
return false
}

fn contain(u:(universal, set), s:set){
return true
}

but don't how much logical sense it will make

> Do people have love deep in their hearts for Windows

Windows 2000, yes.

Amazing OS, insanely fast, and lightweight. With only a handful of background running processes and a couple dozen services it was possible to know exactly what was running on your computer at any time.

On at least one occasion I was able to detect malware on my machine by noticing unexpected background network traffic via the light on my network hub blinking when it shouldn't have been.

Windows XP will go down in history as the OS that an entire generation is nostalgic for, but Windows 2000 was its fiddly, hard to setup, but rock solid once running, older brother.

It wasn't designed to be the best one, it was just the first one. So every great scientist who wanted to live in a nice area with nice weather and great state support (which UCB had in the old days) went to UCB. Then when the other UCs were established it took a long time for them to work their way up. (Yes UCLA is also great! And UCSD and Davis are really good too.)
Funny, my first thought on reading this was, "why doesn't she just use `&.` and `||` and call it a day" until I realized that it's a syntax error if you try to use that with `.[]`

Note there is also `data[:response][:message] rescue IdentityObject.new` if you don't mind the clumsy exception handler...

Perhaps this is my Perl background showing, but `.fetch` just doesn't feel Ruby-like. Ruby's syntactical terseness around hashes (and regular expressions, with `=~`, `$1`, and friends) is one of my favorite features of the language. If I have to do my hash grabs with a typed word, I might as well be writing Python

Thank you - that is so spot on. While in the US, there are 37 million elementary school students, it is interesting to note that around 505 million people speak English as a second language outside USA! For example growing up in Pakistan (South Asia) for my middle school years, English was very much taught (and in demand) at our schools and a language parents actively invested in for their kids. There is so much room for impact outside of the US!
