Err... sorry I don't know said teacher, I was just following along your comment, where you seem to portray the teacher in such way.

You even do it in this comment, condescendingly,

But anyway, that aside, you completely missed the point of my comment. Whew.
I think the "machine is always broken" meme is mostly confirmation bias. I can't even remember the last time I swung through McDonalds for a cone and the machine was down. It's probably been 5 years. Not that I do this very often, but still.

Obviously, if you pull up within an ~hour of closing, the supervisor may have made the call to go ahead and start the lengthy cleaning cycle, and ice cream isn't available. You'll find that many other menu items aren't available under these circumstances either. Worth the FTC investigating? I doubt it.

edit: I wasn't aware of the racket that is the ice cream machine business -- apparently franchises pay for expensive support contracts and the inner workings of the machine is a closely guarded trade secret.

I agree, especially about the poor communications from leaders part... the overwhelming official message (as I have experienced it) has been "vaccines will save us". There was never any serious attempt to add ventilation to schools and public places, nor to set reasonable expectations about how much a vax can do when it isnt distributed to the whole world (aka there is still a ton of circulating virus & new variants forming all the time).

I have found this immensely frustrating. And now people who have been trusting those official sources are finding themselves surprised, confused, and, yes, scared.
USCGs can't stay out at sea forever. They have to dock eventually, even nuclear powered carriers. At minimal the oilers and replenishment fleet that sustains them will be vulnerable to port strikes with conventionally tipped ICBMs and shortened kill chain. USN can tactically sink every PLAN ship due to exquisit capabilities in an opening salvo, but operationally PRC can produce/harden enough land based rocketry forces to destroy/degrade enough of USN capita assets that any victory would be pyrrhic. We're in the era of 30CEP ICBMs. Fortress America isn't inpregnable anymore.

"An error on a Taylor ice cream machine could look something like this: "ERROR: XSndhUIF LHPR>45F 1HR LPROD too VISC," according to WSJ. Taylor rebutted and said any codes that appear on its machines can be easily found in the machine’s manual."

Hm, what does this remind me of?

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
Why do people always highlight needles so much? The biggest concern with needles would be proper sterilization and no-reuse, but other than that, what are some other concerns that would motivate us to do away with needles? We are bags of fluid and veins, so needles seem like the best solution to poke and inject?

I wasn't trying to imply that this is hurting corporate as a whole, but questioning why take this particular hit in the first place.

I'm also questioning if the status quo really is more profitable than actually selling the product. Is it really profitable to do this at all? Because the competition doesn't seem to be doing it.
It's as if developers have this internal conversation:

"Hmm, I need a way to store user- and system-provided data persistently to disk. They need to be looked-up by name, and maybe searchable. Some kind of 'system' for storing 'files'. Hmmmm... If only the computer had something like this... Oh, I know! I'll put them in a sqlite database!"

This is part of a strategy to eliminate the openness of the web, right now your client still has full view and control of the code running on it in the browser to a certain degree.

Companies do not want this, this makes it possible to reverse engineer their process, to view what they are doing, and basically takes away control.

They want a future where your browser is instead a portal to the web where various companies just deliver black boxes of bytes to your machine and you don't have visibility into the code that is running, the actions they are performing or what is going on. In such a world they control the platform the content and the delivery mechanism.

Openness is contrary to the goals of these large companies because that causes them to lose control.

> The delta variant seems both more harmful AND more transmissible (and developed in an area that didn't have vaccines yet last fall).

I left it out of the initial explanation for the sake of brevity, but there's several outcomes from a leaky vaccine. Two of them are: increased lethality, and adaptation to vaccines, requiring new vaccines to be developed.

So yeah, the delta variant makes it look like we might be dealing with a leaky vaccine scenario.
In Montreal, there is a flashing neon sign on top of a former flour factory [1]. This sign originally read:

FARINE
FIVE ROSES
FLOUR

The first line is French for “flour”, the second line is the brand name, and third line is, well, “flour” in English.

When Bill 101 passed, they had to remove “flour” from the sign as it was an English word. However, they were allowed to keep “Five Roses”, as opposed to “Cinq Roses”, since it’a a brand name, so now it simply reads:

FARINE
FIVE ROSES

The owners have apparently tried to take the sign down, since the brand has since been sold to their competitors, but capitulated to public outcry. Apparently, it’s quite expensive to maintain, but I can see why locals don’t want it to go. It adds a lot of character to the skyline.

Are you saying that my not expecting a kindergarten teacher to be educated in binary math is condescending?

I got your point that 10 in binary is not actually base 10 10, but 2 in base 10. It was just not worth commenting as it was a discussion about a 5 year old conversation not the semantics of math.

That's how Cloudflare works. Traffic goes user --> Cloudflare --> your server, with an X-Forwarded-For header.

The same happens with most load balancers. In Apache, you have to set up mod_rpaf or mod_remoteip. In Nginx, you have to configure ngx_http_realip_module.

It typically means there is a message bus that receives events and it distributes them to various listeners, generically which are free to do what they want with them. I agree with the general premise of that, but yes, not all software or applications need such a super generic construct.
You have to look at the reasons why this behavior is occuring: Viruses get less harmful if it improves transmission. E.g. if you are more active and have a higher rate of contacts, even if infected and sick with a certain strain, that strain has an advantage. With Covid, most of the transmission occurs before symptoms appear, meaning that the severity of the following illness is irrelevant to transmission. In that case, the virus has no advantage from being less harmful.

Also, simpler changes are preferred over more complex ones. Delta probably just has a mutation that allows it to reproduce faster after an infection, meaning that both infectiousness as well as severity of illness go up at the same time. Mutations that increase infectiousness but lower severity are usually more complex, so less likely to occur, especially if not selected for.

It's also known as shifting the Overton window.

It's a way to inch toward the unthinkable by obtaining concessions. You propose the unthinkable and after extreme push-back, the concession seems completely reasonable. However, if the concession would have been proposed alone instead of the unthinkable, it would have been rejected. It's an absolute deceptive manipulation technique.

Another example of manipulative Overton window shift at play: You may also recall deep state puppet Kathy Griffin showing Trump's severed head as the deep state testing the waters of a possible coup or assassination. The more you expose the public to the unthinkable, the more it becomes acceptable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-in-the-face_technique
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-in-the-door_technique

The door-in-the-face (DITF) technique is a compliance method commonly studied in social psychology.[1][2] The persuader attempts to convince the respondent to comply by making a large request that the respondent will most likely turn down, much like a metaphorical slamming of a door in the persuader's face. The respondent is then more likely to agree to a second, more reasonable request, than if that same request is made in isolation.[1][2] The DITF technique can be contrasted with the foot-in-the-door (FITD) technique, in which a persuader begins with a small request and gradually increases the demands of each request.[2][3] Both the FITD and DITF techniques increase the likelihood a respondent will agree to the second request.[2][3]

Foot-in-the-door (FITD) technique is a compliance tactic that aims at getting a person to agree to a large request by having them agree to a modest request first.[1][2][3]

This technique works by creating a connection between the person asking for a request and the person that is being asked. If a smaller request is granted, then the person who is agreeing feels like they are obligated to keep agreeing to larger requests to stay consistent with the original decision of agreeing. This technique is used in many ways and is a well-researched tactic for getting people to comply with requests. The saying is a reference to a door to door salesman who keeps the door from shutting with his foot, giving the customer no choice but to listen to the sales pitch.
I mostly agree. The problem is mostly with populations that have a large number of un-vaccinated people. If we could separate those unvaccinated people from the vaccinated people then the vaccinated people could go back to normal and I agree the impact is probably small (not quite sure about "mild disease you get once in a while" but something we could live with). However when you have a 50/50 mix of people who have mild disease you get in a while and people who get a serious disease that leads to hospitalizations and death at a relatively high rate you now have a problem. And it's a problem for the vaccinated 50% who would not be able to get into the hospital when they have a medical emergency, or can't get their scheduled medial procedure done, or bearing the costs associated with those other 50%, or even just having a higher likelihood of getting sick with something they obviously prefer not to get (mild or not).

So the governments are optimizing for this (forcing us to do X) ... not for the individual but for public health and public (general) concerns. Just like they're forcing us (and fining us, darn!) not to drive through red lights, or exceed the speed limit. Are they always doing a great job? nope, but hey we voted for those guys (at least in functioning democracies)...

So here we are.

A lot of piracy posts today.

I think this is a fairly good take - for people with zero audience/reach piracy is a boon, for people with massive audience/reach piracy is a nuisance.

Either way, I think there are certain points where businesses have to protect their assets. If they didn't people would lose the sense of morality that they should pay for products the "legitimate" way if possible. And that sense of morality that most people have is the main thing that makes piracy not that big of a deal.
At least for the children too young to be vaccinated, the Delta variant might as well be a completely different virus.

Previous versions of Covid were unlikely to infect children below puberty at all.

>More kids were hospitalized with Covid-19 this month than any other time this past year -- proving how seriously the Delta variant can hit any age group.

Between August 20 and 26, an average of 330 children were admitted to hospitals every day with Covid-19, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"This virus that we're dealing with now is a game changer," said Dr. Mark Kline, physician-in-chief of Children's Hospital New Orleans.

"It's just so easily transmitted from person-to-person." As of August 9, he said, "half of the children that we've admitted have been under the age of 2."

Needle injection is a skilled act. Jet injectors requires significantly less skill and training. This is useful for some models of mass vaccinations.

Edit: Also just speculating, for this specific vaccine is looks like jet injection is actually preferred. The requirement to place the injection under the skin versus into the muscle seems like it has a tighter tolerances that would be more difficult to achieve with needle injection.
Certainly I think the first priority of any homelessness agenda should be to keep people from falling into it and treat existing issues before they ruin someone's life and sidestep many of those problems in the first place.

But I am deeply skeptical of arguments that, having gone that far down an unsuccessful path, you now should gain extra rights and freedoms that override the wishes of the rest of the people in the city you're in. Though I could see this be on a scale - for instance, I think Seattle owes less to people who move to Seattle without housing than they do to people who had housing in Seattle who got priced out.

Saying you don't like a logo isn't a useful piece of information because for 99% of people that's not going to be a reason to use or not use a piece of software.

I think this goes to the importance of promoting on talent, not years of experience.

Good developers look at what they've done, and critically analyze what is good; what can be improved; and what needs to be replaced. It's these people that you want to promote and provide with enough autonomy to do what needs to be done.
