It's amazing how far some people will go (selfishly) to "protect" their perceived "freedom" at the expense of society. There really is something rotten in our society and it's not anything to do with authoritarianism but empathy, good grief.
A judge is a lot more likely to twist the language in a legal contract than he is to outright appropriate property that's not even being legally transferred. The latter would be immediately reversed by an injunction in a higher court, and the lower judge would be remanded, possibly removed from office.

I can't find a single instance in American history of real property being outright appropriated by a court outside eminent domain.

Have you gotten your swine flu vaccine yet? Fauci says it's completely safe. If you trust the government you should rush out and get it for yourself and any children you know.

Also, the fda has a perfect track record for only approving safe treatments, so why worry?
It's also the urban centers from the rest of some states. For instance I live in MN, the city center is very blue and the rest of the state is not.
The main problem that I and many others have is not the policy of the month but how targets are shifting. When the measels vaccine was introduced it was clear that after one or two shots you were safe for many years if not for life. Seatbelts are not an irreversible medical procedure.

So my problem and the problem of many others is not focused on the policies in effect right now, but the direction in which the policies evolve.

If I had thought one or two years ago how the CCP was going to handle the pandemic, it would be pretty much the way the US, Germany and France handle it right now.
Maybe you both feel better for other reasons and exercise has nothing to do with it at all.

It's impossible to get people to stick to diet plans etc. in actual scientific studies. The number of variables in a regular lifestyle mean it's impossible to draw any conclusions from anecdotal evidence. Add to that the inability to remember what you felt like years ago and compare it objectively with what you feel like today, the placebo effect etc. etc.
I mean you're correct, in that since > 80% of Americans got all their required vaccines in childhood there was no need to mandate it for adults, but it's a very oblique sort of correctness.

And yes, if everyone who was unvaccinated went out today and got the vaccine, the COVID infection rate would drop precipitously.
I recently traveled and used JFK's free wifi. I went to a duty free shop to buy some chocolates and now all online ads ar showing me the same woman perfume ad.
It is completely possible to sell closed source applications even using QT. ( It is all about how you link your QT libraries )

I think the main reason is abundance of frontend devs and quick to start using Electron.
No, but Republic/Kingdom of England is way more confusing innit.
So, not an osha issue then.

Books by Anthony J. Dos Reis

Those are so much underrated books that thought me how to become a software engineer. I hightly recommend especially these books.

Assembly Language and Computer Architecture Using C++ and Java

Compiler Construction Using Java, JavaCC, and Yacc

I promise! You'll obtain tons of skills from his books. I'm very debted to this man. I enjoyed a lot reading his books and made me who I am today.
I wonder if big cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) have ways to deal with Intel ME or AMD PSP.
> It is important to note that classes in JavaScript still use the prototypal inheritance pattern under the hood. They simply provide syntactic sugar for the prototypal inheritance pattern.

With #private variables, this is unfortunately no longer true. You can’t do private variables as outlined in the spec with prototype inheritance. It’s a feature that would be very difficult indeed to polyfill.
Coming soon:

TV providers that charge based on how many people are in your living room.

Peeping Tom spy devices that tell you when your neighbour is in the bathroom (upgrade to Pro to increase the resolution and find out what they’re doing)

Anti-alibi logs that prove whether you were or weren’t alone at any given place or time.

Industry certification schemes promising to turn this feature off but totally leaving the door open to anyone with a warrant who wishes to turn it back on.
I though this shift of "healthcare" from meaning the actual doctors to the insurer that is paying for the treatment was pretty well established?

No, I'd go with (4) people would prefer not to have it, but companies know that they can monitize the data they collect[0] and thus are willing to offer a discount that's large enough to get people (who may or may not know about the data collection) to buy the smart™ version.

Thanks for this. I'm seriously burntout due to using a very niche ERP framework that leaves no room for personal growth, this is exactly what I needed.
Indeed. Baselining is important, even if an estimate.
One of my first computers was the Rockwell AIM-65, which was an expanded version of the KIM-1.

The AIM-65 got me started in Assembler language programming and hardware design with the 6502.

Many happy memories.
I haven't looked into the specific policy, but in the vast majority of cases policies like this have exceptions for e.g. people who can't get vaccinated due to medical conditions, but those exceptions do not get reported because they're exceptions and not relevant to most readers.

(Especially since such policies often have as an explicit goal to provide protection for people who can't get vaccinated.)
I appreciate the goals and tenets of observability, but I really wish these tools didn't absolutely insist upon being integrated into my software.

Give me a log format and parse my logs and then do what you will with those logs to provide observability. All my logs are already json, and they're already relying upon convention for quick and easy parsing elsewhere, so adjusting the format isn't a big lift.

The last thing I want in between the innards of my application is communication with some external system (even if it's a sidecar) - especially if there is any sort of networking involved. If that sidecar drops or slows down, so does my application, which is a variable I'd rather not have to consider, and isn't necessarily tracked by the tools themselves.
The liberty you think ever existed never did, look around. All the "freedom" advocates against the vax just pick and choose how they define freedom. There's no place in the world you can live as a sovereign citizen, so I'd suggest you get on board or buy a boat and live out on open water because that's the only place you'll be "free".

If you want an interesting read, check out the battle over seatbelt interlock devices. Optional seatbelts (with perhaps fines for non-use depending on the jurisdiction) was the compromise between none at all and cars not functioning without them being in use.

As something to install and run for yourself? Sounds cool in theory but awful for your neighbors, and what should be a no go generally. Think of areas where liberty and privacy are conditional, or indeed as a fundamental feature that any ISP could turn on by default in their mandatory router/modem boxes?
True. However the direct sunlight is so much more powerful than the reflections that it can (supposedly) literally blind you if you stare directly at it. The vast majority of the ambient light energy comes from that single spot in the sky. With a matte screen, the sun is either behind you, and the screen is catching and diffusing all that energy - or the sun is in front of you, and the screen hasn't a hope of competing.
What are the best ways to fix hip flexors? I've always had bad hip flexor activation even while running pretty fast for 800m.
Ada's use is certainly not limited to legacy codebases (see nvidia's recent foray into ada + Spark).

In particular, in the 'industrial provable' space, there's almost no competition I think. If you have to write the source code for an artificial heart, what are your options?
Why would social networks be classified as a common carrier? There are plenty of options out there, and the capital required to start one is pretty low compared to something like a internet service provider or a train network. Not to mention that common carriers are also able to enter into contracts of carriage with passengers / users.
YouTube has a tonne of great presentations on different subjects like these, otherwise you could try the Khan Academy.

You might even find some decent text books with exercises online but if you prefer to watch etc, YT is great.

However, if you want to be able to actually use and apply it to a decent standard, you are probably going to need something more formal by way of teaching.
Your pamphlet was published in June, at the start of the Delta-variant infection spike. On average, it takes eighteen days before someone infected with COVID-19 passes away from it.

Not only that but it entirely silent. At least with cameras or IR detectors you can kind of see where they are. If this becomes wide spread -- you'll have to ask yourself who's spying on you. Up late on a Saturday night at 12Am? You're uptight neighbours might want to know about that. On some kind of disability insurance? Good luck! Now they'll install this in your home (as a requirement) and know everything about your movements: the time you wake up, when you go out, when you have guests over...
It's worth noting that the consensus in the MathOverflow thread seems to have been that it was a complete waste of time to spend any further time on that paper and the proof. That's the opinion that they reached based on the general issues with the proof itself, and not any promotion committee decisions: specifically the fact that multiple mathematicians tried to read the paper in detail, in seminars, to understand it, and reported that they failed. That would certainly do it!

I don't have an opinion myself on whether it was a mistake to spend more time on it, but you can clearly see professional mathematicians deciding not to work on something "important" for the legitimate reason that they thought it was unsalvageable. If that's correct, then a promotion committee should penalize people for doing it anyway.
Was it the vaccine or just two independent events close in time. Because when you give anything, even water to 160M people and then record adverse events afterwards you're going to get a lot of them and some will die. The question is are they happening at a higher rate than normal and could they be attributed to the vaccine (is there a pattern.)

There are some patterns. Blood clots for one. Inflammation of the heart.

But both of those are also caused by covid at several orders of magnitude higher rates. Not a good reason to avoid the vaccines. Covid is here to stay, most of us will get it. The only question is do you want to be vaccinated when it happens? Any logical person who honestly did the research should answer this with a clear yes by now. We have so much data. Yes we don't know what we don't know, but that's also true for Covid.

Nearly 3/4 of out adults are overweight, thats mostly shitty choices. You say "disorder" like it is something these people got through no fault of their own but that is not often the case. Shitty choices probably we should stigmatize becuase accepting this many fat people have gotten us a public health crisis.
Not lead, but same idea [1] It takes a few coats and proper grounding.

There's always been two Americas, but there's been a balkanization in recent years. Until a handful of years ago, I had never heard of a president that didn't at least pay lip service to the idea of unity, of serving all Americans and not just those that voted for him. Sure, division has long been a tactics to get elected, but I don't think I've seen it praised as an actual goal before by a leading political figure from a major party.
Having swam (sometimes not voluntarily) in water temperature from 6deg C upwards, No, 16 deg is hypothermia territory.

20deg C is where you started to be able to swim for extended amount of time (i.e. 1 hr). But the water still feels very cold if it's not a sunny day. Wearing swim shirt is usually recommended.

27-28deg C is the temperature of majority of the pools.

30 deg C is about the temperature of water where you can not move and still feel warm.
Why not just enclose your room in a faraday cage? Maybe you won’t have WiFi but at least other people’s networks can’t deep into your space
I think more it’s an indirect side effect. Healthcare is so expensive that people no longer go to a family doctor but avoid the doctor and get their information/advice from their social circle and the Internet or alternative medicine.
At least Intel ME is actually in the PCH, so it's theoretically possible to bring up an Intel CPU without it by developing a replacement chip but from what I understand the PSP is integrated into AMD CPUs so there would be no way to develop a replacement. Both have had a lot of vulnerabilities though and there's been some success in partially disabling ME, nothing that I know of on PSP though. There have been plenty of vulnerabilities in both, so I wouldn't say it's hopeless even if ME did get chip integrated.

I'm not sure why you think the government has anything to do with it though. I don't know what motivated them but I would suspect DRM lobbies first.
He sold the US a bunch of land for dirt cheap, and forced the British to retreat in the war of 1812. Left a pretty positive impression on many, especially those in places like New Orleans.
I also see a familiar pattern with sentiments like yours. There is little to no concern for people whose livelihoods or psychological health were harmed by health policies that prioritize the vulnerable minority over everyone else, including children. Health policy diktats aimed at saving every life will inevitably harm many in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Will the cumulative harms ever be counted? Not likely as it would destabilize the comfortable narrative many of us rely on to justify our prejudices.
There are many exemptions that apply. Religious exemptions are one example.
I would guess that the company believes it can extract ($50+cost of the gimmickry) from the people who buy the gimmicky product.

> (for example one of the spectacle is about the christians persecutions in Rome, where the christians are the good guide, and the romans are the bad guys).

This a political or controversial view? News to me.
It's still the case in most (all?) of the US. However, it's generally pretty well accepted that the documentation requirements are lax and that parents can opt out for a variety of reasons.

When I was in school (both K-12 and college), my schools just accepted a paper document (trivially forgeable) that stated what vaccines I had received and when.
This is only half the story really. The hardest part by far is setting up the monitoring to gather historical data, otherwise this article could be shortened to "measure it over a month and take the 90 percentile". Setting the limits is pretty easy, working them out is harder.
As others have mentioned here you pass it along vaccinated or not.

You can also have the vulnerable population take precautions, not the young population. To be frank what kind of sick society pushes the young population to take on risk (novel vaccine incomplete clinical trials, rare heart inflammation issues documented, spike protein membrane break off issue, etc) to protect the elderly population? This is the first time societies have ever called for risking the youth for the elderly and it's not morally right.
Look, let's look at the human side here. I understand your fear of the vaccine and possibly rage at people encouraging, exhorting, or even possibly looking down on you for your desire for safety. PM me if you want a safe person to speak with. Whether or not you want to reach out, know that I encourage you to be vaccinated and that the data supports that it is quite safe. The medical tradeoff of myocarditis (the largest observed side effect) is 16 COVID deaths prevented for every case (minor or major).[0]

> If you have this little information about how societies work, maybe it would be a good idea to do some reading before making bold pronouncements about how hypothetical systems are better. Cities have various approaches and degrees of success so there are plenty of real world examples you can compare with details rather than treating it like a dorm room hypothetical.

I've seen a lot of derelict properties in my time. It would appear nothing was being done.

What various approaches are you thinking here? I think it is more likely that you aren't paying attention to derelict properties and rats than that I've missed something. If a homeowner doesn't want to maintain their home then there isn't a whole lot that gets done about it.

> they all have many examples of rules which most libertarians oppose (e.g. the Swiss gun control laws)

Switzerland does have one of the highest guns/capita in the world though. Nowhere is ideologically pure, it isn't like you can point to an example of any state that is only driven by one ideology. China has capitalists, the US has socialists, the Europeans have literal Nazis, etc etc. Everyone has a mix of policies based on who is pushing what agenda. There is evidence that if the liberty-authority dial is pushed towards liberty then there are some shining examples of success.

But that is all beside the point I wanted to make - libertarianism just doesn't assume that everyone is making great rational decisions. That isn't how groups of people work. Libertarianism is just noting that the evidence government makes things better on average is questionable. Governments are routinely behind the worst massacres - which is certainly cause for a raised eyebrow and asking some questions. And given the regularity with which the financial system collapses it really isn't obvious the government is helping there either. Then regulation is either making us do things that would happen anyway, or blocking quick responses when the situation is changing radically (eg, the lockdowns were official enforcement of stuff I was largely going to be doing anyway).

> specific real policies rather than hypothetical which are too vague to evaluate.

Korea got the first coronavirus tests, and reliable ones, because they let private enterprise develop them. The US tried a government-led response and badly fumbled the first few months. The regulator was the source of the problems. More libertarian policies in the medical field would have prevented that.
The more time passes, the more I'm convinced that the right strategy would have been to make the vaccines initially cost $35,000 a dose, so that the outcry would have been that the Illuminati was making it impossible for the common man to get access to these life-saving drugs. Then, after months of argumentation, people could have had the victory of having the vaccines "liberated" and offered for free, such that getting the vaccine would be sticking it to the elites.
Spot on. My hunch is you're correct.

My radical proposal is to record interviews, for later playback and study.

Ages ago, I ran for office. Very similar hazing ritual.

The recorded endorsement interviews were generally terrific. Only one of the unrecorded interviews was constructive; I wish it had been recorded.

The majority of unrecorded interviews were shit shows. Which then seeded more drama. I quickly learned to make my own recordings. Kinda like having dash cams.
Please share evidence for this claim.
Would you, if one was required to not get polio? What argument are you even making?
It's really not that hard-to-read or to-write. I have instructed dozens of young developers on that with almost no-supervision and no-issue. It's really pretty straightforward.

Also, I can replicate my validations at many levels down the stack: from the client to API-GW to the database model. All with a single definition.
This would require some sort of open-api type spec but for CLIs. I like this idea. Good luck to anyone taking it up.
Odd or Even Excercise 2
For a frontend dev, it makes sense to use Electron for personal projects of this variety. You don’t need to learn another language, or even another set of tools, you just build the whole thing in-browser and get a shareable UI to boot.

Personally, I’m partial to the command line and to a lesser extent, TUIs, but I certainly understand building with whatever is most convenient and/or fun to the dev…especially on a personal project!
If you want to summarize it in one sentence: yes, they were. In a nutshell, the argument is that the world wars were so destructive because the economic calculus changed, but people required the horrors of the wars to realize that the change had happened.
Computer Networking books specifically for software engineers
Hey,
Im working as a cloud platform engineer for a SV startup which has cloud controlled router/extender pods so the domain is very networking heavy. I'm a self taught developer and I'm really struggling with all the networking concepts. I already read Computer-Networking : A top down Approach , but I'm still confused. Do you know any good books about computer networking specifically for software engineers ?
