In the FDA's press release yesterday [1], they justified Pfizer approval by saying the vaccine had a 91% effectiveness. But everyone knows that number is no longer true - the data was from March, before Delta. If the FDA were acting responsibly and credibly, they would have used the latest data, but then approval doesn't look so favorable.

It's probably relevant that Pfizer spent over $200M lobbying politicians over the past 20 years, more than any other pharmaceutical [3]. And Biden's administration clearly weren't happy with the FDA - just last week they said they are looking for a new head for November [3]. Interesting how approval came the next week. How much money does Pfizer stand to gain, once mandates and boosters? $15/shot?

The word 'self-hosted' is like 'open source' in that it leads to tons of distracting objections when people disagree about what it ought to mean.

Since that's been happening a lot in this thread, the easiest thing is to take the term out of the title, and thus (hopefully) the issue off the table. Let's stick to discussing the project now!

What is a "personal cloud" in this context?

I can't see how I could have full ownership of it since I didn't set it up and have no idea how it works. It comes across as very 'black box' and hidden behind the scenes.

Either way it's not self-hosted unless I'm the one doing the full setup from the start.
That's ok, as long as Intel can't update it in any way. As such, that microcode might just as well be part of the hardware for all the user knows/cares.

It's ridiculous that games like super smash bros are the same price whether you buy them new on a switch or used for a 25 year old n64. No clue why nintendo bothers ending production runs on games when they know people still buy sell and play 30 year old titles. They could just license the reruns to someone else to produce the cartriges and disks and make money hand over fist. It always seems like nintendo has blinders on and self sabotages with stuff like this all the time (nintendo online being a huge fail compared to something like xbox live which has been around for almost 20 years now). In my opinion they could easily overtake xbox and playstation marketshare just by being smarter with their IP and taking back this market that is currently totally owned by people on ebay and craigslist because of nintendo's short sightedness with their production runs.

"It is a weird thing to get my head around, being part of such a culturally iconic image. But it’s always been a positive thing and opened doors for me. I’m 23 now and an artist, and this story gave me an opportunity to work with Shepard Fairey for five years, which was an awesome experience."

"The central argument put forth by ULA—a company whose launch business has been damaged by the rise of SpaceX—is that NASA, as led by Trump officials, favored SpaceX for political reasons." I for one am happy to see costs come down.

Either get good, or there's the door.

The idea that these people accessed highly confidential information is laughable. They looked at people's calendars and read docs that were set to be visible to everyone internally. They found that Alphabet was working with firms that do union busting things and tried to gather support to start a union. Alphabet retaliated against them swiftly and made efforts to smear their names internally.

As part of the fallout from this, one small but important part of company culture was broken. It used to be that almost all docs were visible to all employees and exceptions were locked down with the access controls docs gives you. Any design docs, roadmaps, etc. you were curious about was very likely to be accessible. Maybe you were considering using a service for your stack and wanted more detail or context, maybe you are considering switching teams and want to see what they're up to, maybe you're just curious and want to learn about something new. Soon after these people were fired the default was swapped to things being very locked down and most people do not think to open it up to more than the reviewers/teammates that need access.

(I'm also of the opinion that the notice that them NLRB required Alphabet post in-office was not sufficiently visible as all of the offices I've been in had them tucked away in places like the mail room but that's just me)

Ah, so it was a marketing scheme the entire time. How modern.
Not exactly the same, but we wrote a library to easily load any delimited type of file and finds header (even if not first row). It also works to load JSON, Parquet, AVRO and loads it into a dataframe. Not CLI exactly, but pretty easy:

https://github.com/capitalone/dataprofiler

Can Install: pip install dataprofiler[ml] --user

How it works:

csv_data = Data('your_file.csv') # Load: delimited, JSON, Parquet, Avro

csv_data.data.head(10) # Get head

csv_data.data.sort_values(by='name', inplace=True) # Sort

Anyway, pretty interesting Miller CLI. I'm not sure how the header detection works, especially if the header isn't the first row (which is often the case)

This is slap on the wrist considering the repeated crimes (bribery, corruption) - courtesy to his position in a vitally important chaebol. Having a CEO take a 1-year hiatus while serving a prison sentence wouldn't fly at any publicly listed American company, very few private companies with independent boards would countenance that either.
The difference is that that formulation is exactly correct whereas the other ones are not.
I've been programming for over 35 years professionally. I don't leetcode. I don't memorize stuff. I remember what I remember. And what do I remember? What I use regularly. What I forget, I can look up.

Would a formal course of study help me? Perhaps. Would it help me enough to be worth the time and money? Almost certainly not.

If I had done it earlier, would it have helped me enough to be worth it? I doubt it... but maybe.

Accepting payment is usually understood to indicate acceptance of the terms of a contract. A contract generally requires: offer, acceptance, a clear intention to interact (create a legal relationship), and consideration (money or goods/services). One very interesting example of the significance of accepting payment is the lease for the Guantanamo Bay naval facility.[1]

> I’m wondering the same thing. The only thing I can think of is being able to correlate times, ports, and traffic volume from some origin, to some VPN node, then look for near identical data coming from that node to an ISP, and then on down the chain to identify the victi-err, I mean “person” accused of being a bad actor.

Exactly that. As with Tor, if you can observe the entry and exit flows you can deanonymize the traffic.
I think there's a couple of facets to this...

- Some people don't want any business trips at all. Ever.

- Some people are ok with a short trip 1x-2x/year. But the traditional business trip, you stay in your own hotel room and attend business events during something close to normal business hours. You can general dine on your own.

- This Airbnb retreat is not a normal business trip. It's a shared house, shared dining area, and I only assume the expectation is long hours of collaboration and/or socialization.

I exaggerated of course [1]. But you probably don't realize how huge half of New York city, or 444 sq. km is.

And the area is likely to larger because you will need additional infrastructure to handle all this and maintain the generators.

This sounds incredibly cynical. My experiences have been to the contrary on every point.

Great managers do exist, but you have to make sure that you are held accountable as much as they do you.

The big upside of the trades is that after working for journeyman wages for a while, learning the job, and establishing a reputation, it becomes possible to own your own business, either by founding or buying out a retiring boomer, of which there are many. At that point your earning potential skyrockets into the millions.
Honestly, given the events of the last year, I'd expect most people to feel that way.

The only thing I'd add is if you're good at something, teach it.
Okay, thanks! And props for making a simple language.

> It's a similar story for other trades, machinist is $47k, welder is $44k, plumber is $56k, HVAC is $50k.

A good plumber in my area (Seattle) is pulling in $60/hr minimum, and that is after the employers cut.

A plumber with some seniority is going to be making over 100/hr.

An experienced electrician is also well over 100/hr.

Granted if self employed they all have a higher tax burden and pay their healthcare costs, and driving between sites is a pain, but 100/hr makes up for a lot of that.

The trades people I know are booked out months. The general handyman I use is only booked out 2-3 weeks, and he comes in at an affordable $60/hr!

Next time a plumber stops by to fix your water heater, have a chat with them. Some of the ones I've talked to live in very nice custom built luxury homes that they designed themselves.

That it doesn't look illegal under current laws is not because the laws as written didn't anticipate it, but rather because the laws were reinterpreted in a way that is more convenient to monopolies:

So how about we just get back to the original intent of the law, for starters?

Amusingly, Humble Bundle offers things like ebook purchases as torrent downloads.
Sure. What you describe -- leaving keys, constraints, foreign keys to goodwill and application layers -- is fairly common. I'm not sure if that comes from ignorance or a fanatical devotion to OOP. When OO runs into the relational model (the so-called object/relational impedance mismatch) OO seems to "win" in the sense the RDBMS gets turned into dumb backing store.

I think it's obvious why this particular use (or misuse) of relational databases fails to scale, or gets hard to manage across multiple clients of the database possibly written in different programming languages. I have seen the same consistency guarantees implemented in Java and Python application code when the RDBMS could be doing that, and then hearing "SQL databases" blamed for the inconsistencies and scaling problems.
I don't disagree. But this cynical comment comes as average on decades of experience.

"Sex workers" is synonymous with prostitution. Pornography is a form of art. "Sex artists" would make more sense. "Sex worker" sounds very pedestrian, we don't call actors or singers "theater workers". As for the girls just sitting in their desks that doesnt sound like sex-related work at all, they might as well be called cam-artists. This is a not a tiny niche anymore, there is space for more than one terms.
> 2) The record label are the ones who ultimately profited off the image.

Did they? Seriously - would this album have sold a single fewer copies if the cover had been a picture of a duck, or a floating Pom-Pom, or any of a million other things?

To claim they profited from the photo, you’d have to prove that people bought one of the most popular albums of all time because this dudes baby parts were on the cover.

I looked at this person's homepage: https://pqvst.com/

Looks like they use their Mac a lot judging by all the projects they're working on.

I have a strategy that is common to all hackers / nerds / technophiles and that is: having multiple devices for different things.

It's common to see in hacker circles: This laptop is for gaming. This other laptop is for freelancing & business. My other laptop is for toying / tinkering etc

You can extend that list to probably 10 devices if you're serious enough about compartmenting your digital life. I have long since used a single device for everything that I work on.

> Where exactly would such “evidence” come from? Do you think the CEO of Raytheon would ever utter such a statement even if it were 100% true?

Just some examples: a leak or confession. People do sometimes have changes of heart. But until you can actually provide evidence, you're just making up "facts" that are convenient to you.

Also, the CEO of Raytheon is very unlikely to be the person that determined what the "war on terror" was meant to do.

> I fail to see how anyone could believe that bombing people from the sky and invading a couple countries would win over favor from potential terrorists. We should’ve...

That failing is yours. There seems to be a lot of hindsight bias there, as well as some weird misunderstandings.

> Now, one could argue honestly that our leaders are just complete idiots. I just happen to think they knew exactly what we were doing.

It's far more likely that "our leaders" were high on "end of history" idealism, and spurred to hasty action by a traumatic attack, and are nearly as unable to accurately predict how a complex world will behave as the rest of us.
On the flip side, most projects I work on on the side are now are bid based vs hourly based. I wasn't a fan of it at first, but now I've really come to like it.

I know what I'll get paid, and the client knows what they're going to end up paying for the work that's been scoped out. It's up to me to determine whether I'm managing my time/rate correctly to make it a value for the client and that I'm getting what I feel I'm worth.
