Yeah it's either that or they got it through the portal by guessing their health insurance number which is made up of your first and last names with date of birth and finally two numbers that serve as a way to handle people with the same name born on the same day.

For example, John Doe born in 2001-01-01 with have the health insurance code DOEJ010101XX where XX is how many people with the DoEJ were born that day. So usually you need 0-10 guesses to get it.

Just did the process and it also asks for your mother's maiden name and when and where you got your first dose so it's not like this can allow attackers to leak everyone's info and while I didn't try it myself I am fairly sure that the requests are rate limited.

Finally the info in the QR code itself is just Name + Date of Birth + when and where you got your two doses so it's not like it actually means anything.
Well, we could turn your question around. What if it is not sleep itself, but the fact that it is related to the release of melatonin which potentially mediates immune system responses and inflammation?

The paper offers interesting hypothesis into why this could be the case.
The thundering herd problem in distributed systems is an often unexpected failure mode. This is great, and easy to plan for. You'd save buckets of money because most capacity is used for spikes, and you now have a good idea of when spikes occur.

Every Monday, an hour after school, scale up 5x, because the timer has reset for students. Scale down from Wednesday to Friday. Scale up 2x over the weekends.

The study is of intubated patients, I think they're asleep a lot...

But I'm sure poor sleep habits are a risk factor for severe Covid anyway.
These might be great philosophical considerations, but no one is interviewing you for Programmer Heaven.

These shitty interviewing tactics make interviewers feel good about themselves and perpetuate a culture of elitism without actually doing anything at all to find people who will actually be good at the job they're supposedly hiring for.

"Write a tool to find and sort anagrams in a random paragraph, using BrainFuck. You have 20 minutes." is just about self-pleasure for the interviewer.
I don't think that's a bad level of proficiency after one year of self study. Sure, you'd do better if you were in an environment where you had to listen to and speak Russian all day, but, that's not practical for everyone.
I'm actually a rider (or was).

They don't attract reckless people. But what happens, you get used to the speed, the risk, the cornering - and so yes, you start going faster and faster. Problem is - hitting something at 100 on a bike, even just a little something on road - can be seriously game over. I stopped riding (kid / wife etc).
Where in the IPCC report does it say that collapse is inevitable? Why would that be the only conclusion? One can imagine global civilization adapting and doing what it can to mitigate the effects of climate change. Soldiering on might be one way to put it. If modern civilization and the biosphere overall are more resilient than some assume, then adaptation is a possibility.

One can also imagine cleaner technologies and carbon capture rapidly replacing fossil fuels in the next two decades, reducing the riskier scenarios. At any rate, there's no certainty since none of us has a time machine, and climate models are models of the climate, not human civilization or future technologies.
Apologies, I was trying to point at a mentality rather than an age but obviously the wording could be better. There are plenty of 20-30 somethings that hold the same beliefs and plenty of older ones that agree with me. The amateur radio community is a rather complicated landscape and that bears acknowledging.
it's the perfect Tesla pitch because unlike so many other claims, stated intents, objectives, accomplishments, it's entirely untestable. we have no way to verify or see what real strengths & limitations this far off, remote, high tech gothic chip has: it's forever within the Tesla castle.

Spotify is pretty cringe with Classical music. I love certain pianists, certain composers, that's easy to find... but if I hear of a new piece on forums or word of mouth, YT always surfaces better classical content.

Spotify, any joe schmoe decent pianist can record 99% of the repertoire, that doesn't mean they're expert or virtuosic at the standard classical fans expect. The result is you may have to wade through many obscure albums and artists until you find a name you trust or even recognize. It seems Spotify is limited in it's algorithmic handling of popularity and reputability in it's search function.

Combine with YT being a visual medium where you can see the challenges and tribulations and manual work, YT has a big edge on Spotify in classical IMO.
I'm pretty sure if this policy got kids to play chess or Go over IRC, instead of games like League of Legends, the government would call it a big success and pat themselves on the back.
I think the hidden message in your comment is "duplication over abstraction" - and I agree! Often duplicating things is preferable to complicated abstractions.
I used a real-world kind of GitHub PR as a coding exercise last year. A comment I left on another post earlier today:

Well, for one thing, here are 4 completely new concepts that I don’t particularly want to bother with.

I just want to run a command every minute. I don’t want to learn about unit, timer or event files and the differences between them.

I really agree with a lot of this.

I'll tell you what though, if you have a programming task that you find boring, over-engineering it and over-architecting it can make it _so_ much more enjoyable.
It's probably because Agile devolved from a system teams use to keep track of developer progress on bugs and features to some weird cult lead by managers who have 20 hours of meetings a week and can't begin to describe half of the projects they're meeting about.
I don't think this works as a causal explanation. A decrease in petty fines shouldn't be significant enough at changing poverty to be reflected in crime rates in just a couple months. You'd also expect a delay as the fines that would otherwise be demanded in that time wouldn't be collected for some months, I assume.

As an alternative, maybe people who are mistreated by police become immediately more likely to commit crimes? Or maybe police who would otherwise be doing proactive policing are doing something more beneficial instead? Those are just speculations, though.
Ever since I got an OP-1 [0] and found it such an absolute delight, it made me realize how a simple, well crafted experience can provide such sheer joy. Something I haven't felt on the "supercomputer in your pocket" in like decades. Constraints can be really fun, because they remove the paralysis of choice.

I hope this is a new frontier of people making open source hardware devices. You can totally craft the experience from start to finish in a way that wasn't so easy before.

The point I'm making is that DEVELOPERS pick the license, and formerly for them they didn't lose much of their freedom by picking GPLv2, just others could also take code and do things.

With GPLv3 that changed. Others could still take code and do things, but now they COULDN'T do things.

Users desire is not part of this, and is a boring and old trope of OSS where users, doing no work and paying no money - make all sorts of demands. If that is the FSF attitude then good riddance to them, it's old and burns everyone out. They probably have attorneys going crazy and burning out people even more.
I suppose it's largely a problem of naming. "Denier" has negative connotations, but it's also the most obvious name to use. What would be a better, non-pejorative name? Life-will-go-on-ists?

The article later refers to an ideology of "eco-fascism" which is even more problematic. That seems like a name that detractors would apply to a group, not a label that someone would self-apply. I don't know what a neutral name would be, though.

Most SDRs are RX only so there's zero need for a license for them. As for the other points, the Technician license is super easy and you can pass it with minimal study.

If you can't pass the Technician exam, you'd actually be hard pressed to meaninvcully participate in those activities you listed. If you don't know the regulations around operating a repeater how are you going to operate a repeater? If you don't understand just a little about radio propagation how are you going to actually do any DXing or communicate with space hardware?

Ham licenses exist because radio transmissions affect other people and not just yourself. If you don't know what you're doing to can keep me, your neighbor, from participating in the hobby because your TX power is too high or your antenna is just an untuned jamming device.
Why do you hate free speech and open discussion?

Why do you hate antivaxxers - are you trained in medicine, molecular biology, etc. or is this nothing more than orthodox ideological position?

The scientific method and science itself is NEVER SETTLED. And it is always advanced from discussion including anecdotes that become more formal research.
So, what happens if you destabilize your brain a bit via psychedelics? There is some good research out there showing that certain psychedelics increase neuroplasticity, so it would be interesting to see what the effects on language learning would be.

I've started selecting for brands that have more information than those two measurements. Seat and taper are more helpful, for instance.

Also popular among the Qumran community in ancient Palestine. They viewed civilization as fundamentally corrupt, and were eagerly anticipating an apocalyptic end to it and the coming kingdom of God to restore things to their rightful place. Which included a more agrarian lifestyle, and less of the modern trappings (for the time).
Orgmode is praised, rightly, but the average user is never going to, or be able to use it.

> It kind of blows my mind how hardened a typical passenger cabin is to fire

That's far from true for the interior.

Things have improved over the years, but the interior is mostly plastic. This became a major concern after the investigation of the London ground fire where half the passengers died of smoke inhalation, and the 1998 JFK Swissair accident where the entertainment system wiring burned through.

In the 2013 SFO Asiana accident the interior fiercely burned, for example (see pics in W):

My sister lives on 6th Ave. cops would congregate right outside her building before the protests so she could observe the entire process.

The cops were deliberately ignoring the rioters while strong arming the largely peaceful protestors.

She has videos of 50 cops standing while someone broke into a store (by throwing a rock through the glass window), picked up a POS system, and runs, with not a single cop twitching, while just a few hours earlier you had their lieutenant or whatever come kneel with the protesters and as soon as the higher ups left, cops attack 100 lb women from behind as they were walking away.

They were deliberately attacking peaceful protestors and deliberately ignoring looters and rioters.

You could also see on the signal app which was tracking these gangs of kids who were looting major stores like Macy’s, as well as protestors, and the cops were always where the protestors were and never where the rioters, who were only a few blocks behind, were.

It was a very blatant attempt by the NYPD to make the protests appear violent by encouraging looting while discouraging peaceful protesting.

> please notice how he is to much of a coward to fight him in court

I filed my response to the conman's laughable $6 billion dollar lawsuit against me on June 16th, which is now almost 11 weeks ago. By comparison, I was only granted only 4 weeks to both find legal representation and respond. Wright appears to be doing almost everything in his power to delay progress in court cases. E.g. he's started claiming that covid hardships are delaying him from going to trial, ironically on a day where he gave a presentation in front of a room full of prospective investors in his scam.

In your response you don't appear to have read my message at all. You don't deny wright's disk writing claims are debunked, that the only 'evidence' he provides of performing the experiment turns out to be an image stolen from a mfgr website, that text was plagiarized, or that he can't even bother to distinguish a scientist from a rock band.

Wright has lost in court multiple times against Roger Ver. Against Adam Back wright not only failed but had to pay all of Dr. Back's legal fees. And against myself Wright appears to be doing all he can to delay responding.

> Peter McKormack who bailed out

Journalist Peter McCormack is being sued by Wright for defamation in the UK for simply repeating what everyone else had been saying for years before: That Wright's supposed evidence of being Satoshi is all obviously fake. Wright has bankrupted him with millions of UKP in legal expenses in what is apparently the most expensive defamation case in UK history ( https://twitter.com/petermccormack/status/140557825024028672... ) yet he has by no means "bailed out".

The fact that Wright is suing journalists for criticizing his obviously false claims is why it's important that people like me step up to point out the scam-- because his naked threats and intimidation prevent others from doing so.

> using sockpuppet accounts

You have a brand new pseudonymous account to post your attack. By contrast, I am publishing here under my only account, one which I've used here since 2010, which is well known and happily disclosed to be me. Sounds to me that you're applying a criticism to your targets that would be better applied to yourself.

I don't have to do anything to make it look like Wright is a fraud because it is transparently obvious that he is one, which is why multiple courts have found that his testamony was false and perjurious and that his documents were forgeries.

I suppose you don’t think constitutionally protected free speech rights apply to unions. Are you at least consistent and want to ban lobbying efforts by corporations? The leaders of corporations can join a political organization. Are you consistent and decry the fact that stockholders have to accept that the company they hold stock in can advocate for things they don’t like? Union members have a right to have the portion of their dues spent on political advocacy refunded to them. Stockholders have no such similar rights.

Have you been in the classroom as a teacher? I’ve been teaching for over 20 years. I’m glad my Union advocates for social justice because I’m tired of students using student loans as a means of welfare. I’m tired of sick students not being able to afford healthcare and remain sick. I’m tired of dealing with students who have to work full time jobs to support themselves and can’t devote enough time for school. I’m tired of dealing with hunger, transportation problems, etc.

But it doesn’t matter what you or I think. Unions have free speech rights and can advocate for things you don’t like. Get organized and fight for your position. There are lots of checks on unions and what unions spend on politics is nothing compared to the monied interests opposed to us.
Sometimes it matters. Until it doesn't. It depends so much about the particular market, business model and technology.

> In the draft legislation, the U.K. government said the most popular platforms — "category one" companies like Facebook and Twitter — will be required to safeguard all journalistic material shared on their platform.

To be fair, something fairly similar could be said of most any internet conversation on such topics.
Exactly. The problem with all these highly publicized, flimsy regulations is that when you eventually fail to enforce them, the extent of your authority comes into question. Better to have few laws that are strictly enforced.
Windows 9x actually does use MS-DOS for more than just a bootloader. The post describes it in better detail than I actually understand, but they do also briefly list the advantages in the second line of the post from the link, too:

> Yes, it is possible to run Windows 9x ontop of DR-DOS. And yes, it has several advantages over using MS-DOS (f.e. smaller memory footprint and much more advanced relocation methods, not only resulting in more free DOS memory, but also in more free Windows resources; better configurability and therefore higher flexibility, more advanced utilities).

Children aren't trying to learn a language. They are trying to communicate their needs and language is the way you do that.

Of course, there will always be exceptions.

Sure. Our solution so far has been both simple and pragmatic - the main DB's do not live inside containers. It's a bit of manual ops, but it works for us. All the 'media' in the stacks I am dealing with is minor enough to serve over a custom API e.g. no massive image/audio/etc datasets where files need to be first class citizens.

We generally avoid mounting volumes at all costs. The challenge of mapping host uid:gid to container uid:gid (and keeping that mapping from breaking) proved painful and not worth the effort
Coffee shops? There are no cafes in Lagos? That seems incredibly unlikely to me although I've never been there and couldn't prove it.
I don't know why this was downvoted. It's true, and an important correction to the GP's NSC link and the claim that "airplanes are zero most years". Notice that that page compares "scheduled airlines" to "passenger vehicles" (I think they mean cars? Since airplanes, trains and buses are also passenger vehicles...) but importantly does not include GA.
Can you elaborate a bit on the golang part? As someone who dabbled with Go but never found it too alluring when comparing to other options (if I wanted ease-of-use I'd go with Python, if I wanted performance I'd go lower level - C++/Rust), I'm interested what you mean by it. Go did find a footing in the industry and a lot of cloud infrastructure relies on it, I do think it's the most interesting option out of compiled garbage-collecting languages.
