The 50Billon was a stat thrown at my feet by a phd arguing that the exposure to Covid is unknown in people with previous infections… they claim the more numerous the spike Protein exposure the better the immunity.

0. Less exposure to spike proteins the better: in all cases the less one is exposed to novel, man made stimuli into intimate bodily functions (read less than 1000 years of human existence) the better. And a counter point to the benefit of modern medicine… many still die in their sleep, if one is exceedingly lucky and very healthy, then they will have no need for the man made interventions.

1. Inadvertent intravenous injection: lack of properly aspirated needles can potentially send a majority of the mRNA into a vein, producing complications. This is my hypothesis for the wide range in side effects

2. Faulty Fatty Anchors: it is claimed that the lipid anchor keeps the spike protein in a safe state. Potentially this is not true and potentially when your body attacks the vaccine the protein is set free due to incomplete distraction

There are quite a few others, but these I’ve found to be the most compelling.

These and the others I will reserve unless anyone is curios.. these all require much more observation than a few years to complete.

The two major employers in Seattle (Amazon and Microsoft) aren't paying 250K to new grads. Their packages are closer to 175K starting.

Speaking of "250K" as a number, every single offer over 250K+ for someone with no experience, on levels.fyi, in seattle, was either for someone hired at L4 at Google or Facebook (usually this means a PhD hire), or a Facebook "rockstar" signing bonus, which I think levels.fyi mis-estimates (the "recurring" comp is lower than 250K, you get something like 120 base, 40 stock/yr, 100K signing (+ your normal annual bonus of ~15K). That's 200K/year over four years, not 250).
DOJ can pressure Visa, Mastercard and Amex to stop processing payments for Apple. Due to how the international payments systems work, that's a global sanction, even if Apple had no footprint in US.

And before you claim that's absurd and impossible, there is precedent for US doing just that.[0]

Hey, saw this as mentioned earlier and incorporated your feedback and one other commenter that pointed out a privilege escalation vulnerability. If you have a spare moment would appreciate your critique on the resolution to your concern and/or any other issues you see generally with the codebase. Just a request though, regardless thanks for your feedback!

All the other big players have been using similar algorithms for years, in the cloud. Why haven’t they been overwhelmed by false positive attacks?
Sure experts can make mistakes. Which is why it makes an enormous amount of sense to avoid taking the opinions seriously from people that are not even experts because they are significantly more likely to make mistakes based on incomplete knowledge or poor understanding of it.

Imagine drowning: If we were talking about expert lifeguards vs. some random beach goer and you had to choose which would try & save you, would you choose the expert lifeguard or the random person?

And sure, Lao Tzu may be right about compassion. It's also irrelevant in this discussion.
> requiring the supply of housing to match the supply of jobs

As a native Californian, I would change that to, "match the supply of water." I'm astounded at all the construction, particularly that being built in the hills overlooking Folsom, and wonder where they're going to get their water.

i do not understand snapchat and their business model. they started out as a sexting app that deletes the photos and that is where it remained for a long time. i remember news of how "deleted snapchat photos can be undeleted" tutorials and i tried to investigate for fun but i could not understand the UI back then and the tutorials didnt work so i dropped it.
Apparently its pretty big these days in the kids and they have "streaks" as you mention. i hear multiple hundred thousand streaks and other things but to what end?

how is snapchat justifying the storage, bandwidth and processing of data? i mean facebook has ads which they earn, same for twitter but what about snapchat? do they have a sustainable revenue stream because no where i heard snapchat had a paid option.

reddit was user funded for a long time with daily goals and all that so that was not an issue mostly but what snapchat done to address that.

snapchat is all the rage in my city, kids who are now on online classes send snaps because i hear about it. everyone knows how to make that twistface pout or whatever but why?

One thing not discussed is how long it takes for the back packs to empty. From the picture they look like just simple backbacks without significant modification (wich is fine), but how could they not need to be refilled a zillion times a day.
> A school has existed since 1868 yet people move near it and think they should have the final say on what the school does.

Lots of things have existed for a long time, in the context of a society where they have always had to coexist and interact with others. Why would existing for some time give them license to affect the community and people around them in any way?

This isn't like someone moving next to a pub and demand they stop playing music, or next to a farm and complain about the smell of manure. The complaint is about the adverse changes.
Yes, all the stuff I've seen from Panic about this sounds like "we did this because it's cool" not "we did this to make money". And I guess if you own a successful software company you have enough money to make something cool like this as your hobby. But it's being sold like it's a gaming platform and I'm wondering how long it will last as a platform if it doesn't pay the bills.
What intev said
Honestly for AI/ML/RL I would recommend spending your budget on a nice desktop workstation and remoting into it with whatever cheaper laptop you prefer.
Being technically similar is irrelevant. It’s completely different in principle, and that’s what matters.

A great deal many things are technically similar, but vastly different in principle. And those distinctions are important.
What interesting when seeing it all laid out like this is just how close El Goog has been to getting right on more than one occasion, only for some shiny new thing to blunder on to the scene and fragment everything again.

It seems pretty clear that if they had settled on one brand ID for messaging and just iterated and refined on that for the past 15 years, they'd be light years ahead of where they are now and, I daresay, the dominant player. Everyone I know was using Google Talk after AIM, MSN messenger, and ICQ died (except we all called it GChat) because we already had GMail accounts. They could have built on that instead of throwing it all away. Now everybody's on iMessage, SMS, or WhatsApp.

Or, cast your mind back to the distant year of 2016. Hangouts was more than okay enough for most use cases (IIRC it even had SMS integration/fallback), and then Allo and Duo came along and Hangouts got canned. Allo was trash from the beginning (why did it exist at all?) and while Duo was (and continues to be!) great thanks to its adoption of QUIC, there was absolutely no reason for it to be a standalone app instead of a new feature in the Hangouts app.

Theft is not free, copying data is. They're the ones making everything worse for everybody because they can't deal with that reality. These streaming services can't even manage to produce a video player with decent controls, we had better software in the 90s.

Also, copyright infringement is not theft. It's copyright infringement and it's only a problem if you accept the notion that copyright is a legitimate system to begin with.
You're conflating two kinds of history (though they are of course intertwined, but I think a distinction is still worth making): how one person (eg. Freud) developed their ideas over time (which, outside of literary or artistic contexts, isn't very interesting), vs. how some schools of thought (eg. Freudian psychoanalysis, Behaviorism) gave rise to others in response (eg. Humanistic psychology).

Getting back to the OP's question, while some discarded theories can justifiably be ignored when studying a field (eg. in geology, anything prior to the general acceptance of plate tectonics in the late 70s), in some fields older theories and models aren't necessarily abandoned entirely (eg. the aforementioned Freudian psychoanalysis is still somewhat relevant for individual counseling) depending on the context (eg. you probably CAN skip Freud if you're interested in Behavioral Economics or Organizational Psychology), unless what you're really interested in is arguing about definitions (eg. there is no reason to pay any attention to Lamarckism unless you just want to argue whether or not epigenetic mechanisms that provide additional wiggle room for phenotypic expression across generations should be considered Lamarckian).

So, it depends.
> But if Apple is truly accessing data from your personal device or “server” without explicit authorization

If you're uploading the photos to iCloud Photos, you clearly have given authorisation to Apple - in the sense of accepting the iCloud T&Cs and saying yes to "store my photos in iCloud Photos" for them to access the data in those photos, else they wouldn't be able to upload them.

It's the only realistic position. Heck, it's the only reason streaming services can exist; without piracy pressure everything would be pay per view or pay per stream at far higher rates.

The most worrying thing is Jibe (which is the backbone of RCS in some carriers), because unless Google has somehow good plans to transfer or maintain Jibe, it will kill RCS with it. It seems that Google "Chat" is trying to turn RCS into a Google-controlled ship, and I'm worried that will entrench rather than replace SMS because it will be more reliable looking at bigger timescales than Google's messaging mess is.

Edit: SMS isn't even (fully) defined in 5GNR standards, so if RCS broke it's worse than useless.

Although bash-specific, Bashly falls into the "Task Runner" category. As such, I would like to chime in with my entry:

Run : https://github.com/TekWizely/run

It has its own DSL for describing tasks, along with help strings and argument descriptors, and can manages generating help screens, parsing args and invoking tasks (sub-commands).

Each task can be written in its own language, one task could be Bash, one could be zsh, one could be python, etc.

If you're in the market for a flexible task runner, I hope you'll give it a chance.
yup!! hang boarding, micro needling, some finger/arm exercises from PT.

i climbed seriously as a kid until like 22 ish. then didn't for 7 ish years. it's now close to 2 years back (sep 24). I think that's the main issue, my skill/strength is higher than my fingers. Though I'm still decently strong just have pain/days I can't do much and fingers are weak compared to what I used to have.

what about you?

I've been thinking of seeing if this local Dr. has any ideas, it sounds like you have to get the peptides injected near the injury which freaks me out. Don't mess with my fingers!

I think they'll find there's a world of difference in public support for "people leaking classified documents" vs "the people who make you and your family's phones, tablets, laptops, and watches".
Netflix REALLY went for quantity over quality with their library. I'm certain that there are some great shows in there, but I have to start ten different series just to find one I like.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Disney+ library is rather small, but I find at least half the shows to be enjoyable, so that's where I turn to first.
> The data/engineering/product loops at tech companies favor boosting short-term metrics

I think this hits the nail on the head. Leadership is hard, and executives can be many layers removed from the frontline. It seems that A/B tests and family have proven a really effective vehicle to communicate across leadership levels what has happened, why it happened, and the impact it had on the business. I'm definitely guilty as charged of having participated in this "pyramid scheme".

Teams get a tool to structure work and determine success/fail. Managers get a tool to detail exact impact to leadership on how they're solving business problems. Executives get a tool showing how teams are being deployed on thoughtful projects with an iterative and rigorous scientific approach that helps increase confidence around deploying capital. The board gets some slides during the quarterly meeting and maybe might even see some charts showing growth and less cash burn.

Eventually over longer periods like a year, executives will notice different trends than what the short-term numbers are showing and will have to make real hard decisions about how to steer the ship.

It's a hell of a hamster wheel.
Thank you! I completely overlooked this difference.

That huge removal cost just shows how underpriced oil is given the externalities.

You specify job postings, are you also relating feedback from actual recruiter screens or interviews? They may ask for everything and the kitchen sink in the posting, but not really care when you talk to them. Of course it’s nice to find a developer that also knows all the deployment details, but that’s a bonus skill.

I can tell you we’re looking for candidates like you.

For writers, that is a good idea (although I think there are a few things missing from most implementations, such as foot notes, and a table of contents window; I do have the idea of a "feature" attribute to handle such things, but it is not implemented either (although using it is harmless, since unrecognized attributes in HTML will be ignored)). CSS should mostly be not needed.

For readers, it will be necessary to fix the implementation to do the working better, since not everyone will write it properly.

>... Vacation doesn't help.

It's true that there are always things that need to be done. But vacation does help. A lot. It works on people by the same principle as the burn-out does, as long as we allow ourselves to be drawn in, redirecting and focusing our strong attention onto the vacation context and details.

Does a vacation solve the latent issues in the office? Unlikely. But it can give a stronger chance at finding courage to move on to better pastures with less of a collateral damage or personal injury in the process.

Vacation helps, so does the personal/sick-time. A culture of banking (or shaming for taking) the PTO is outright traumatizing and usually a good indicator of an unhealthy team/organization.

Take the word "deprecated" with a grain of salt. I've got a project that utilizes an HTML tag deprecated in 1993! https://github.com/kristopolous/TopLevel

It's <plaintext> which basically means "stop parsing for rest of the page". There's no way to close the tag. It's super easy to implement which is probably why it's still around.

Deprecated 28 years ago in HTML 1.1, yet still supported in all major browsers. Test page over here: http://9ol.es/TopLevel/example.html reference rendering: http://9ol.es/tl.png

Apple already disallows lots of ideas.

And arguably, if you've tried apps like those in actual VR their impact doesn't come close in non VR. But, since Apple doesn't carry porn in the app store and doesn't allow other stores Apple is effectively banning thoughts.
nobody who is sane would have made that claim about a pandemic because we have empirical evidence for the existence of pandemics. In fact in contrast to superintelligence we have a pretty clear model and definition of what a pandemic entails.

The notion that we ought to take everything seriously that is 'not impossible by the laws of physics' is entirely stupid. Because virtually anything is possible, the question is how likely it is, and what evidence we have for it that is quantifiable and meaningful. Or are you currently prepping for an alien invasion?

Myth is the absolutely correct label for 'superhuman AI' fantasies, because the difference between a real threat and a myth is that the former is grounded in empiricism while the latter is a product of psychology and storytelling.

And superhuman AI is a very old story, it's simply the Golem myth. The religious idea that humans, in their hubris, create a tool beyond their control. It's Goethe's The Sorcerer's Apprentice and it's The Terminator.

This really is crazily scary. And not only did the company somehow force through a drug that seems to have no proven benefits but severe proven side effects, they also created a campaign that recommends that literally everyone should start treatment with it and price it absolutely astronomically.

I imagine people started quitting because they know this won’t just end up with financial repercussions but will see people “in the know” going to jail.

That said, it doesn’t feel like it’s the hypothesis that is “to big to fail” it feels more like a sunk cost situation where the company while still cash heavy has hit a wall with their drug and might never get anything functional no matter how much cash they throw at R&D, so instead they are somehow using their cash to convert individual opinions at the FDA to push through an approval.
How throw has not already let to central individuals getting fired and being under investigation is beyond me.
