Given that there has been at least one disastrous vaccination campaign, leading to super-hot variants with 100% death rate in unvaccinated poultry (thankfully poultry!), I would advise toning down the language a bit. Nobody has a crystal ball. We are running a vaccination campaign for a novel virus based on a novel technology and we'll only know the final outcome in a decade or two.

Why does this matter? Perhaps it's not wise to mRNA vaccinate against every infectious disease under the Sun until the dust settles on the covid campaign. Hold that Nobel Prize for a while.
This warrants a long response, that I would love writing one day but don’t have the time.

But I’ll leave a short one here to respect your comment.

I believe social media empowers people, it makes my life better, it gives many people a voice where before it only belonged to a few. Those few also incited wars and genocides, and bred rage and mistrust (From NY Times supporting Iraq war to your local news stations to Fox/CNN concentrating on stories that outrage or warm your heart and get you back) from before Facebook existed and do so to this day. All of those nasty effects of social media existed before, they just moved to the most efficient media form.

I support people’s right to communicate and own their opinions, and I accept that giving a voice to everyone will always results in problems small and large. But Facebook does spend a lot of resources trying to make social media better. I’m an insider and swayed, but I think Facebook spends much more resources than TV channels and newspapers trying to address such issues.

The rest is a proper response really depends on a lot of arguments clumped against Facebook, and addressing them depends on the person:
- Is the criticism against all social media?
- Is it against ranking feed items?
- Is it against monetizing through ads?
- More rarely, is it against censoring, or because of data policies, or supposed negligence, or more.
There’s such so many issues against Facebook, yet almost everyone keeps using the products, and the only countries that ban Facebook are not ones that come of as inspiring to me when you consider their reasons.
What makes you say that?

I think a more fair complaint is the content is very mediocre. Don't get me wrong, it's free, so it's hard to complain. But if you attempt to learn a language, Duo has two big flaws.

First, the content is regularly not quite right. Taking Spanish to English as an example, at the higher levels where you translate phrases, it regularly insists on English translations that no native speaker would say. This does not lend confidence to the other translations.

Second, and more importantly: when you get things wrong, it almost never explains why. Why do you use a certain mood in a place, or why is a word that should be a synonym (but maybe not? who knows?) not correct to use in the given sentence? Is it actually incorrect, or is it a shortcoming in the phrase bank? Etc.

What you really need to know is eg you mistakes in the third conditional, or you're misusing certain prepositions and what the rules are. Duolingo really only offers learning by example.

Still, it's free. And you can probably use it to get to A2 or even B1 proficiency.
Sure, there's a higher risk profile but also the payoff can be absolutely staggering.

Moreover the risks aren't evenly distributed: crypto isn't a homogenous space.

The risk isn't for everyone, but those that are intimately familiar with the space and practice reasonable risk management can do pretty well.

There's a reason why almost all tradfi trading firms have either already entered the space or are considering it.
Apart from the fact that the data are not up-to-date with the newly emerged variants. The high correlation with unvaccinated and death may also be caused by third factors. The main one is that getting vaccinated is not a random event. It says something about the people in addition to the willingness to get vaccnated, especially in current divided atomosphere. The unvaccinated may do much more dangerous things like make contacts with more people, and not applying other measures that could lower the risk of contract COVID such as wearing a mask.
I’m a (former) Bolt owner and you are vastly overestimating the available range. The Bolt is lucky to crack 180 in regular freeway driving at 75-80MPH. In the winter in freezing temps the range dips as low as 140. The loss of range from the new charging limitations make the car practically unusable for anything but city driving.

This article really hits the mark. I had to spend 2 months writing an auth system for my current project, which had to deliver both ACL permissions (am I allowed to call this API) as well as data filtering (am I allowed to work on the data I'm requesting), and even then barely scratched the data filtering part (albeit "good enough" for now to get the team moving on other parts).
"Seeking out" in which sense? As in, "who are the people that I seek to condemn?" Or, "who are the people that I seek out to speak with?" Or some other sense?

I'm not asking this to be obtuse; I'm genuinely interested in engaging on this topic, so I want to be sure I'm not speaking past your meaning.

"Who are the people I seek to condemn?" The information workers that find employment with massive, human-rights-violating corporations. I condemn these people for their willingness to dedicate such talent and intelligence towards actively making the world a more user-hostile place.

"Who are the people I seek to speak with?" Generally, everyone and anyone, including you or any of your acquaintances that happen to be reading this thread.

With respect, I think this speaks to a difference in our ethical values. I 100% believe that Facebook employees are fundamentally compromised by their employment. Don't get me twisted: I'm not accusing them of being Nazis, nor any such equivalence; these specific condemnations are very prevalent in our modern discourse. I'm not saying anything like this.

I'm also not saying that such people are necessarily unpleasant, or that their company might not be enjoyable. However, at the end of the day, they are making the world worse for me, the people I associate with, and (in my opinion) the people of the world at large. For these reasons, owing to my ideological commitments, I remain firm in my position.

Facebook employees are ethically compromised.

Yeah it really depends on the asset class. A buddy of mine runs a small LS equity fund and it's been hard for him to grow his aum, even though he's been producing at least 5% alpha annualized for over 5 years.

It also doesn't disprove the idea that he wanted it to host sex parties in NZ for people that are exactly 6 feet 3 inches tall and have green eyes.

Reminds me of an article recently about how the nominal inflation 'target' was actually treated and executed in a way that made it a ceiling because the Fed and all the monetary policy wonk tweaks always missed low and if it did briefly exceed the target it was considered a reason to start tweaking things.
Preventing children from using E2EE is not a "net positive" just as preventing adults from using E2EE is also not a "net positive". Privacy is a human right, not a right that should be made exclusive to adults. Just because children are restricted from other activities does not make it justified to restrict their rights further.

End-to-end encryption helps prevent messages from being intercepted by intermediaries, such as companies and governments. For example, an advocate (for human rights, environment, or any other cause) who is under 18 may wish to coordinate a protest or some other activity while minimizing exposure to surveillance from potential adversaries. Or in a more ordinary example, children may want to communicate with others without being profiled by advertisers or government agencies through the content of their messages. Secure communications are as valuable to children as they are to adults.
I spent more than half my career in digital consulting for mid-size (500-5000 people) that did full service product development (strategy, design, tech, marketing). Eventually working my way up to director level that meant doing sales and writing contracts.

We did some crazy stuff. Delivered some gigantic ambitious projects with pure chutzpah. Dove into tech we didn't know anything about. Go sell a project to an airline, read everything about the airline business, then walk in like experts. It felt like fraud at times but we pulled it off so well you just start to feel invincible. It was a meat grinder but also thrilling. The kind of stuff I feel privileged to have been part of but never want to do again.

Cydia exists outside of Apple's control. The inability to run Flash on iOS was never a technical issue, it was a policy issue.
100% of the analysts that I read, and, if I'm not mistaken, close to 100% of the mill owners recognized that this was a temporary blip, and that lumber would fall back into the $500sh range (There is a natural floor - that's the price at which BC mills no longer make money and start shutting down/curtailing capacity.)

None of the mills started expanding or engaging in capital programs to try and take advantage of the increased prices.

I'll have to review my shell terminology; however, I'll assume you're correct here, and in that case I'll eat crow on both points. I appreciate the nit-pick! It's good information, and an obvious blind-spot that I should improve upon.

The "bog-standard" I'm referring to is my ability in various Linux distros to easily find and mount network-shared directories. I assumed this was some power of bash, but if not then I'll reflect on that and find whichever utility enables the ease of my workflow.
Fair enough. What changed is that since then a Cold War ended with a clear winner and a clear loser. Opposing blocks now know there are alternate ways of winning besides hot war. Think about that during the next systemic racism training at your workplace, or as your kids don't leave your house until they are 35 because they have no path to ever afford the mortgage on a house of their own.

But typically it will throw an exception _after_ the interesting code happened. For instance it might throw a NullPointerException, but you want to know what set it to null in the first place. With breakpoints you have to suspend on exception, and then add additional breakpoints earlier in the code, and then rerun the code. With rewind you can just step backwards.

Well that is the more verbose and less helpful way of saying the same thing: can't do long stare for the same reason this recognizable thing couldn't - rotation.

Everything has skyrocketed. Specifically when you are in the middle of a construction project you need to get all of your materials to a worksite at a specific time, there’s very little schedule flexibility. This means they are outbidding people that do have schedule flexibility.

The housing market has cooled and you can get some good deals now, but in 60months we’ll back in a growth market. There simply isn’t enough supply to keep up with demand. People keep having kids, cities keep limiting housing density, suburbs can only sprawl so far.

How does a baby express being upset? They can smile on purpose at 2 months: https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/ue5463. So the lack of a smile is a detectable sign. After just a few weeks, they have a range of reactions short of crying. They change their facial expressions based on what they're feeling. They make grunting noises to express minor discomfort. You can even tell when they're bored.

About a year ago wee started design on a large project for one of our clients . Think in terms of something like a full size passenger aircraft motion simulator...so, something 100 feet long and 21 feet wide. Well, needless to say, lots of metal makes-up the entire structure.

We had to design this thing twice due to fluctuations in metal pricing. The original design was all aluminum. Then came all steel, because aluminum became far more expensive than steel. Then a hybrid and now steel only. There are other factors, such as the relative cost of TIG vs. MIG welding, yet, when your material costs increase nearly four-fold you can't ignore it.

By the time we finished a reduced scope prototype materials pricing and availability was just insane. This has affected other components, like fasteners.

At this time, any quote we provide for product development --be it electronics, mechanical or both-- includes language to say that we cannot hold pricing on anything for more than one week. It's got to be that crazy. If you are not very careful you can easily end-up being very busy while losing money.

In this article, we will explain how an execution plan is optimized.
Common practice in construction industry is to overcommit to too many projects, then raise prices until the most cost-conscious customers drop out. Now you’re only left with the customers willing to pay the highest prices.

It’s not really about lumber prices. It’s about finding the highest construction prices that the market will bear. Can’t find the limit until you push so hard that some customers start dropping out.

I just recently recovered from a breakthrough case (double jab Moderna) and the fear was absolutely the worst part. You scrutinize every breath. Check your oxygen constantly.

The fear is way, way worse than the virus.
