> Civ1 likely was the same, but was a much worse game.

I disagree. It is incredible game that did a lot of things right from the first try. It also had extremely nice VGA graphics: i still remember softly animated blue rivers and waves rolling onto green shores with hills and mountains.

And it was the only 'fresh' game, that could surprise you. Like you play on chieftain, have three cities on a nice island, and you are proud to have discovered sail before 1492, preparing for a voyage of discovery.

Next, an ironclad arrives leading frigate with musketeers that destroy your pathetic civilization.

All other games after the first were inevitably formulaic for me. Of course, players who have started on 5th might feel different.
Vaccinated people are way less likely to get infected.

And I don’t think there’s any evidence that vaccinated people have higher viral loads with less symptoms - that would be extremely surprising if true. I understand that vaccinated people can have high viral loads in breakout cases, but presumably in those cases they’re symptomatic - I don’t recall seeing any analysis of this.

Please feel free to prove me wrong.

Every method of your API must serve some business purpose. "With" methods and setters generated or written "just in case" often do not have one or they are being used only in tests, which would be insufficient justification for having them. Does your code really need to change individual components of the color? If it is not a graphic editor, probably not and those methods will be redundant.
Yup, fair point, I thought we were talking about libraries replacing errors to obscure the original, which absolutely happens. Lots of libraries (e.g aws-sdk) do use typed errors, so wrapping them correctly for smaller libraries that compose them is important.
Totally agree. To that point, I was trying to do this on my own and it's nearly impossible. As a corollary, Pioneer Fund has something like 26 founders & staff + various software tools to review each batch.

And then, yes, if you think of $10k from the other side, as CEO I don't want 100 people in my cap table that I need to signatures from for every corporate action.
I calculated the monthly payment inflation adjusted using 30-year interest rate and it looks lower than 2008.

Chart: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=GMT0

Formula used: https://www.wallstreetmojo.com/mortgage-formula/

Fred formula:

a = Median Sales Price of Houses Sold for the United States (MSPUS)

b = Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average (CPIAUCSL)

c = 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Average in the United States (MORTGAGE30US)

a/b * (c/100/12) * (1+c/100/12)^(30 * 12) / ( (1+c/100/12)^(30 * 12) - 1)

PS: Similar could be said for everything (e.g. stocks). Buying an overvalued asset using debt might be cheaper than before.

Good stuff. There's also a new Visual Studio 2022 release out today, it has dramatically improved integration with the new .NET 6 hot reload feature.

Between hot reload and the improvements to make C# simpler and less verbose, I'm really excited for this release.
I'm mainly puzzled why they want to introduce additional syntax specific for it, when higher order function are perfectly possible in the current language already and integrate well with the F#-style pipe.

> The level of a minimum wage should certainly take productivity into account.

calculating the productivity of a job is non-trivial. A factory can't operate without assembly line. Does that mean the workers are responsible for all of the productivity? What about the engineers that designed the product? How much productivity goes to them?

“ Teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems from the vaccine than be hospitalised from Covid-19.”

This is comparing rates of myocarditis vs rates of hospitalization, which is two different things.

We would need to see rates of myocarditis due to vaccination vs rates of myocarditis due to natural infection.
No, the parent post is talking about the distance to the main land...
We could easily build more high density. There are a lot of young people who are interested in high quality high density housing - but it's just not available. Not everyone wants or needs a SFH. We don't build up in this country almost at all and that would solve a lot of the pressure. (It would also allow for people to use other means of transport that they actually prefer - many young people don't want to drive!)

There are a ton of people who are interested in living in densely populated big cities but the issue is that there isn't enough high rises or tall residential buildings to offset the demand.

There's definitely policy that could be done but it'd destroy the existing value for homeowners and landlords. That's why it doesn't get passed - obviously.

Look, i don't care about back-and forth arguments, it 's better that i had listed the relevant evidence, and people can make up their minds on case-by-case, because it is possible that blind recommendations for vaccinations may end up being harmful. The phrase "universal vaccination" doesnt mean mandatory, it means that the benefit is so small that they don't recommend it to everyone, but only to kids in higher risk. The evidence seems to agree with them, despite governments' push for more vaccinations for their own reasons, which might be ineffective in the end. (There are countries that are pushing hard to vaccinate schoolchildren)

Well, that is my point. I don't think there should have ever been regulations on what you could and couldn't do. Like I mentioned, scared people can stay home and others can go out and take precautions and manage their own risk. Saying the pandemic can only end when everyone gets their shots is basically denying science especially given articles like the one posted by OP. Remember, they could end the pandemic right now if they wanted to. The pandemic designation is a human-made one.
>it's a concept (dog whistle) that is used strictly for generating rage and calling other individuals to arms so that the crowd picks up torches and pitchforks and follows your lede in attacking an individual's opinion with as little prompting or individual thought as possible.

It is not used strictly for that, indeed would be ineffective for that purpose were it not also a useful word. It means "warning, this seemingly innocent reference/argument/line of argument has historically been used by people with questionable motives, and warrants extra scrutiny".
Perhaps, but then I would expect people in a post-scarcity society to be fine with the idea that life is not fair - that it's not possible for everyone to have equal access to everything at the same time. I'd expect them to not care that much, having a comfortable life all needs taken care of.

I'd also expect post-scarcity people to not even stress the "too cheap to meter" boundaries that hard - when comparing with people of today, it's worth remembering that most consumption of non-essentials is driven by artificial needs created by advertising, and advertising is predicated on scarcity. Post-scarcity people wouldn't be brainwashed to consume so much.
> Former program operatives previously told Reuters they believed they were following the law because superiors promised them the U.S. government had approved the work.

Absolute horseshit. This is 100% a loophole to give them some flimsy plausible deniability. If the NSA approves they should have confirmed with the actual NSA.

Looks like the whistleblower wasn't charged, which is good, though you still have to be a pretty shitty person to go work on targeting journalists and dissidents in the first place. I suspect she didn't have moral qualms as much as she realized how much trouble she'd get in unless she came clean.

I'm interested to learn how exactly any of this is legal. Isn't it illegal for Americans to hack anyone, regardless of where you live? Like could I really go to Russia and openly hack Ukraine as an American and not get charged when I come back to the US?

The Masking of the Servant Class
Vaccinated individuals can also carry it. It does not stop spread or contraction. These Vaccines are just supposed to reduce the extreme Symptoms
The latter seems likely to me. I don’t understand how anyone thinks the blame for mutations lies solely or even mostly with the unvaccinated. Vaccines, distributed in a pandemic, are likely to cause immense selective pressure, and that is one of the reasons that the WHO originally planned on non-vaccine herd immunity when they wrote their respiratory pandemic game-plan prior to 2020.

I’m fully vaccinated, not anti-vax, and not an expert. This is just my understanding based on what I’ve read.
1968 appears to be when the correlation between minimum wage growth and productivity growth stopped. You could use any year between the late 40s and early 70s (it's hard to be precise with the chart in the article) and you would get a similar result.
Disagree that it's about the relative pennies they make on cables. I think they were caught off guard by the enormous negative public reaction to Apple switching from 30-pin to Lightning.

They knew they had to abandon the 30-pin prior to 2010, and the Lightning spec didn't materialize magically, years of design went into it.

USB 3.1 and the associated USB-C wasn't even on Apple's radar when they started designing Lightning.

I'm completely convinced that Apple would've liked to move to wireless charging before entertaining the idea that the port on the iPhone should switch to USB-C. Unfortunately wireless charging tech hasn't been up to their standards, and we've seen Apple back itself into similar corners with other computers/devices, where they miscalculated future performance.

The fact of the matter is that families tend to have more than one iPhone, with cables that are shared, and iPhones get passed around as they age. I can't imagine how many articles will be written by the tech media and how many angry commenters on Facebook will be crying about perceived forced obsolecense if Apple were to switch USB-C.

The money they make on Lightning cables simply does not matter.
Some folks who have spoken a 2nd language for years, report they still sometimes translate in their head. The flat remark is not helpful.

Well of course this is oversimplifying. But culture as a concept is an oversimplification. It is talking about broad traits of behaviors that can be find in a certain population. For instance, the thai people in general has less transophobia than most countries in the world. It’s just a fact.

Now you can’t deny that it exists some places in Japan where people can rent friends hourly and that some people get really attached to robots or sex dolls.

"Data Lakehouse" is sadly term ruined by AWS.

It used to mean "data lake extended to support data warehouse use cases".

So something like HDFS or S3 with Delta (from DBX) or Apache Iceberg storage formats, utilizing Spark or Presto/Trino or something for compute. One unified platform built on scalable big data technologies, that can do transactions, SQL MERGE, smart partitioning and other bells and whistles.

Then AWS decided to unveil "AWS LakeHouse" which meant you have both S3 and Redshift and use both at the same time - lake and warehouse next to each other.

This is not what lakehouse meant until then It is also terrible design - having data in two places means you now have to implement access control, logging, auditing, data access and so on twice. You also have to sync data between the two storages, keep track of what is where and keep track of what is the single source of truth

Truly idiotic design / marketing that could only have come from AWS. But since any larger company has army of "enterprise architects" who went from "nobody was ever fired for recommending IBM" to "nobody was ever fired for recommending Oracle" to "nobody was ever fired for recommending AWS" who will just internally enforce whatever bullshit vendors pushes on them ... it is almost what "lakehouse" means nowadays.

AWS truly is the Oracle of 2020s. Fuck them.

The normal 8's display is smaller, but the 13 mini is still smaller overall (5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 vs 5.18 x 2.53 x 0.30)
Some notes:

>Pros:

>- An extremely small number of people who would get side effects now wouldn’t

What is an 'extremely small' number? The CDC[0] states that [Headache..., Fever, Nausea] are "common." Sadly 'common' is not defined, but with >100,000,000 folks with natural immunity it's hard to imagine a definition of 'common' that squares with any reasonable definition of 'extremely small'.

>Cons:

>- Logistics: you now need to perform a blood test on every single person in the country,

For a large chunk of the population you have past positive test results. For the rest, you just need to offer the option of taking a blood test. Furthermore, the majority of the US is already vaccinated. So in just a few steps you go from "every single person" to, if you allow me to guesstimate, somewhere in the single digit percentages.

Also a missing pro:

You have a government whose vaccine policies are grounded in proper science and medical ethics, reducing the number of vaccine hesitant individuals.

Yeah, I pointed this out in my comment - I wish I could say that I think this would have all gone a lot more smoothly if authorities were just honest about things from the start, but I think a lot of the outrage about, say, Fauci lying about masks to try and conserve PPE supplies early on only provided ammo for people who were already going to disregard COVID.

At this point I’m not even sure it matters. The states with the lowest vaccination rates are never going to have vaccine passports anyways. Mentally and culturally the pandemic is over for most people, vaccinated or not.
Many of us view that claim with skepticism and prefer that the analysis of this data be left to experts who understand how misleading data can be.
> Salaries go up with demand for skills.

Said while business owners are screaming about a labor shortage.
Yep, this 100%. I worked on Facebook iOS app perf/reliability/efficiency for a couple of years. The company is structurally and politically incapable of making a lean app (thousands of engineers have their performance reviews tied to launching new features, not deleting old ones). So they rely on a relatively small number of engineers making heroic technical fixes in order to make it possible for the app to even boot. Similar situation on Android.

The status quo is clearly dysfunctional but I would be surprised if the company ever figures out how to fix it.
> While the Department of the Treasury prints actual dollars, “printing money” is also a term that is sometimes used to describe a means of monetary policy, which is conducted by the Federal Reserve. Monetary policy involves controlling the supply of money and the cost of borrowing. The Federal Reserve uses monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates on the behalf of the Congress. The federal government uses fiscal policy, or the control of taxation and government spending, to promote economic activity.

I can't help but think this is confusing as heck to most Americans.

I'm not sure all of the quoted statements are true. Private banks create a good chunk of the new money that goes into circulation by issuing loans. The Federal government (through the Treasury) creates still more by issuing bonds to cover deficit spending.

The Fed can influence the rate of money creation by setting short term rates. But the Fed can't force banks to loan money, so its power is limited. Especially so with short term rates pegged at zero for most of the last 13 years or so.

Although some view the Fed's QE as a form of "money printing," it's not. It's an asset swap in which the Federal reserve buys a Treasury from a bank, issuing a reserve asset as a credit to the bank. Reserve assets thereby become "trapped" inside the banking system. They are not cash and can only be used under very restricted conditions (not unlike a laundry token) at least according to some sources.

I suppose it shouldn't disappoint me, but it does and thus I'm much less likely to bother.
Nobody needs to caricature the insane beliefs surrounding COVID (or flat earth), people holding them are doing a good enough job of that themselves.

I do have a few favorites. "COVID tests give you COVID, so I won't go get tested" is certainly up there. I can't say I give two figs about your opinion on the Earth's topology, but this one is a public health problem, that's crippling hospitals around the country.
