The FDA application for boosters claims that efficacy against transmission for delta for persons vaccinated when the vaccine became generally available is now 42%. That isn't enough to drop Reff below 1 even with 100% vaccination-- in fact, it leaves delta with an Reff higher than the original L strain had absent vaccination.
This is not true. In the UK there is currently no requirement to show ID when voting.

I think the GP’s statement was predicated on the owner not having an underground gas tank for storing the fuel. If you can charge your EV at the grocery store, McDonald’s, and at home, why would you ever go to a gas station that’s been converted to a charging station?

It is also possible that two of you were arguing about different things despite seemingly talking about the same one. For example, you could be arguing that preventing people poisoning by lead is good, where the other person were arguing that people should bear more responsibility instead of pushing it on the third-party.

I.e. I don't think the person you were arguing with was thinking "yeah, breathing lead is a good idea, let's fill the air with lead!". Perhaps I am too naive...
Seems they're ignoring the weight of the fuel/batteries.
That is a lazy and dangerous thought. First, this is not the governments first rodeo - they know how to do trials involving sensitive data. Second, if what you say is valid, that the state the right to hold anyone they don't like indefinitely without trial, on any basis they choose, then what you've described is in direct conflict with the Constitution of the United States. The opportunities for abuse are without bound. The result is inhumane in the extreme. It is "only" a handful of men held for 20 years without trial, right? That's awful enough, I would say, but consider that your excuse could be used to justify the executive branch holding any number of people for any reason, and without any oversight. Consider what someone without scruples could do with that power.

Don’t worry everyone. The unilateral powers created by our government during covid is a one time thing.

Surely covid will one day “go away”, and with it the surveillance state will dismantle their powers and stop trying to control what their citizens think and do!
It’s not really as black&white as that.

Vaccinated people are more prone to be asymptomatic when infected, which means they are less likely to notice the infection, thus less likely to isolate and go into quarantine.

This is made even worse by the fact how a whole bunch of countries have stopped testing vaccinated people, they are just assumed healthy and not contagious by default.

Now throw in vaccinated people demanding to be exempt from pandemic measures, like not having to wear masks anymore and being allowed into crowded venues, and vaccinated people have the biggest potential to become the new super spreaders.

> And boy ever is the USA's right wing oppressive, but the oppression is in private

No, its not; its just that when its been public, its been broadly supported, because the center of US political power is ideologically on the Right, or at least has been for most of modern history.

So right-wing, whether economic (anti-socialist/anti-communist) or cultural (like PMRC’s push against naughty music, or the spate of internet censorship laws of the 1990s) tends to be supported not look partisan, because ot has support across both parties (the exact divide changes with partisan realignments, but for the more recent instances the Republican Party and the dominant centrist faction of Democrats tend to be in support.)
"Physics-based" Deep Learning seems like a misnomer. From the abstract "Deep Learning Applications for Physics" sounds more apt.

Your experience about the availability of paying work in tech may mislead you about the availability of paying work in the arts, of which, relatively speaking, there is very (very!) little.

That said, there are many ways a tech background is useful in the arts, and some of the most interesting work I have done in tech has been with arts-oriented organizations. Of course quite a number of arts folk subsidize their passion through day jobs in tech.

I would recommend viewing it not as a transition, per se, but an adding on. Good luck.

Superchargers only currently work with Tesla’s due to technical constraints (although Tesla is changing that now that there are significant numbers of non-Tesla EVs with a big enough battery and 100kW charging ability).

However Tesla destination chargers which are lower speed and three have been available for both Tesla cars and non-Tesla EVs.
One thing I noticed in Norway too was on street parking meters that also had electric charging cables. Tap your card, pay for parking and the minor electricity cost just gets added to the parking charge.
Vaccinated people are less symptomatic because they have a lower viral load. Their infectivity window is lower. In the corresponding time frames, they have similar symptoms
Same in the US. Both Biden (later confirmed by his press secretary) and Fauci previously stated they would not mandate vaccines.

> Apple scans your information in your own device (and its operating system is even closed source and cannot be verified).

Open source may be better in certain ways, but a statement that closed source cannot be verified as to what it’s doing is narrow and incomplete. Android’s key parts are also closed source (there’s a lot more in “Android” than AOSP).
It’s possible in rural America to have no-services at interstate exits, or to only have one gas station. I’m thinking about Montana, Wyoming, and southern Utah. McDonalds is not a guarantee at any single rest stop.
This is not exclusive to IPv6, I've seen it on v4 as well. If you've got short DNS TTLs and can return 2-4 records out of a larger pool, that can help, but if your TTLs are longer, you have to consider the handful of recusrive DNS servers that serve a large number of users... You want to give them more records to balance that traffic better.

OTOH, current IRC usage numbers are pretty low, a beefy single server should work, except for the disruption potential of single servers. Latency can be a bit of an issue too, depending on where your users are; not great if users are in south asia and the only server is in east coast US.

A morality tale.
I went from a career as a full-time musician to a tech worker. When I say "career", I mean that I literally got by with the minimum of everything. It was fine in my 20s, but quickly became unsustainable in my 30s. This is why so many comments in this thread are focused on money. The typical path for artists is to start young and broke, or young with wealthy parents. Then it just becomes a story of financial attrition. A few people become financially successful and continue as musicians, but most eventually find a "real" job as they get older.

This is the depressing truth: as you get older you want and need more financial stability. So if you do want to make the switch, you should do it now. Be willing to be broke for the next 5-10 years as you chase your dream, then, worst case scenario, switch back to tech.

Here in Alaska, people commonly plug in their normal cars in the winter so they will start after a cold night (these are heating units that are spliced into the engine's hoses to circulate and warm the engine coolant). Just about every private parking spot has an electrical outlet for each parking space, even at quite downscale apartment buildings. It's usually controlled by a switch inside the unit. You can flip it on when you wake up so the car is warmed up enough to start by the time you leave for work.

I remember many years ago that having one of these outlets was a bullet point for apartment listings, but nowadays it's just expected.

So the market worked in that case.

EV charging stations are going to be more expensive than a basic 20 amp outlet (a quick web search indicates $700 to $2,000, not including installation), but not all that expensive, compared to the other capital expenses involved in being a landlord.
The idea that all the Indian run businesses in the US do shady stuff is beyond fiction.

If this random HN guy knows this, you can bet the IRS and a variety of state agencies would also know this and target them very effectively.

The reality is that in a business where gross profit margins are around 2% at best, you don’t need to go to tax evasion to understand why they would choose to encourage a payment method that does not incur a 2.6% + 30c cost on every transaction.
Yes, but a Medicare Advantage plan through a traditional "insurance" company. I think it got him better drug coverage and a few fringe benefits. I wasn't involved in choosing the plan, I just stayed the course because it was mostly working out.

I don't believe that it affected his care. There were a fixed number of hospitals, inpatient rehabs, and visiting nurse associations, and they all took his plan. And I can't possibly see their behavior being different for a different payer - the incompetence was intrinsic to their deliberate bureaucracies. The only way to rise above would have been to find providers that didn't take "insurance" at all, such that the actual customer was the patient rather than another bureaucracy.

The Medicare rules were limiting by fixing the amount of rehab sessions he got per week. The length of his care would have been limited too (discharge rules), but I advocated to extend him within the system. But any bureaucracy is going to be similar, and thus the only way to fix that would be neutering the whole "insurance" cartel and forcing the industry into radical price transparency. Which is basically the line I was straddling with the private pay helpers.

What Medicare really helped with is making his copays sane and giving me solid footing to push back on billing fraud. For instance, one equipment supplier sent me a bill for 50% more than it should have been, and then shamelessly stood by their story on the phone ("you owe us this amount, so you need to pay"). I presume they successfully defraud many people that way.
BO is currently legally unable to compete in this contract.

GOES is a series of ~$½B weather satellites. For large, expensive sats like this, NASA has and established process of purchasing launch services, and to compete for them you have to prove and certify the safety of your rocket before you can apply. IIRC this launch requires LSP category 2 "medium risk" certification, which requires having successful past launches. Since BO has never launched anything to orbit, they cannot compete.

The entity likely to contest this award is ULA, because they are the one other American company who would have been capable of launching this payload. Note that doing so would not be in any way notable -- high-value government contracts are almost contested by default, just because why wouldn't you when it costs so little to do and there is $150M on the line.

I don't think you live in the UK - because none of those things are true.

You can go into just about any library and read a book without showing a library card.

I've never had to show ID for a hotel stay.

My driving licence stays at home. If I want to hire a car, I generate a one-time code.

I can pick up a parcel by showing some non-ID like a bank card, utility bill, etc.
Intellectual property reform could be a solution. It sounds like they might have gone with ethanol if they weren't motivated by patents so that they could prevent free market competition. We see the same thing with pharmaceuticals and in many other industries. I'm not particularly convinced that intellectual property laws are anywhere close to a net positive for consumers or society at large.

You need to understand that success in the arts looks very different from success in STEM. In our field success is all about how much money you can make, there is a side focus on also feeling fulfilled, but rarely do you hear people talk about how fulfilling their work as a function of itself.

In the arts on the other hand success is defined by how happy you are with the work you’ve accomplished regardless of a dollar value attached to it by others. All the successful artists/creatives I know aren’t making STEM salaries but are happy with the work they’re doing and thus feel successful.
Pointless mandates (masks), where the vast majority of the burden falls on the lower classes, while the laptop class pretends to be hard at work while comfortable at home, tend to breed resentment and suspicion of legitimate public health policy and intervention.
Snowflake has been mentioned here, there is another way to achieve this although I've never seen it used in practice. Imagine, in the DBMS the identifier column would be sequential, but whenever the rows are queried, the identifiers are ran through AES. The server would have a single AES key that is used throughout it's lifetime. To the user the identifiers would seemingly be random, but on the server side they are sequential and thus highly compressible. In addition, when querying the rows and putting a condition on the identifier column, AES decryption would have to be used. For example "select user_id, first_name from user where user_id = 6744073709551615;" would decrypt 6744073709551615 into the sequential number, like 103 (if it's the number 103' inserted row), and then use 103 to query the table. There would certainly be a performance overhead when returning large result sets where lots of identifiers need to be encrypted. On the other hand, modern cpus have specific AES instructions which are really fast, and in addition, when the identifiers are compressed to something like 1.5 bits on average, you can fit a lot more in the cpu cache which may offset some or even all of the performance loss.

If you have only a single master DBMS server, then 64-bit integers should be sufficient when using this strategy. Otherwise, if you are using multi-master in a distributed environment, you could achieve lock/communication-free identifier generation by instead using a 128 bit integer and for example include the server identifier inside those 128 bits, similarly to snowflake, before encrypting it and exposing it to the user.

Side note, since the identifiers are sequential there is anther benefit in that, like snowflake, when you order by (created_date, user_id), it wouldn't incur any performance cost over just ordering by user_id.

If anyone knows anyone who uses this or why it would be a bad idea I would love to know.

On the original OKlab Euclidean will do. Perceptually-uniform color spaces are designed for that (at least for close colors).

On these slightly squished and stretched ones… I think converting back to OKlab is the better idea. You can just turn the polar stuff into Cartesian directly too, but it will be distorted.

Thank you for your reply. My question was because I got a ticket for having an open container in the back seat of the car while I was stranded on the side of the road.

They did the breathalyzer several times on me, zero each time. I didn't have a drop to drink. I didn't cause an accident. I was not driving recklessly. In fact, I was stopped on the shoulder.

If I have to pay almost five hundred dollars in fines and court fees even though I didn't do anything other than drive a friend's car home, I don't see why people who refuse to take the vaccine for no reason shouldn't have to pay even if we don't have any proven incidence they spread the disease.

Point is, our legal system is very inconsistent and you can't scare me with the slippery slope like today covid vaccine and tomorrow I am in legal trouble for a second serving of fries.

This is great work. I love how the result is a representation of maximally saturated colors that correctly depict perceptual lightness of what those maximum saturations are. You can get a little palette out of that which contains 'all colors' but which makes intuitive sense in a way that traditional representations don't.

It's like fitting maximum saturation into a palette that's more linear. From canary yellow you don't HAVE a lot of room to go to pure white: there's very little difference. And it translates to very little linear space between the points. So nice.
