You're not wrong. Possibly the biggest issue would be how can you quickly launch one of these without triggering WW3.

Another issue I'm thinking is that I don't know the state of the art of meteor/bolide trajectory estimation (it's apparently very poor), so you'd probably need to fire a bunch of these (or a very large one) along an (uncertain) path hoping for it to affect the impactor.

So this is just more of the same problem: how do you fire a barrage of nuclear missiles over a region to stop an impactor in such a way that you're not mistaken for a madman starting nuclear war?
The Problems with “Cloud-Prem”
I don’t know whether it did, but Wikipedia thinks it was used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanggongchang_Explosion:

“The epicenter was a major production center of gunpowder

[…]

a military storage facility that "dispatches 3000 catties (about 1.8 metric tons) of gunpowder every five days"”

This was 400 years ago, about 800 years after the invention of gunpowder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder#China) and about 600 after the first primitive guns (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun#History)

I mean we went back to normal after Spanish Flu and Hong Kong flu didn't we? Spanish flu killed 50 million (edit). Hong Kong killed 1 - 4 million.

> Technology advances, fortunately.

If you have the current technology you will get Covid. It's not if, it's when. Eventually we will have good vaccines (in a decade or two?) and maybe people won't get it. By that point it will have mutated into being a cold for most people.

> This sort of fatalism is not a really useful approach for reasoning about the risk, in my view.

Covid is a serious thing and I'm sad for the people that died from it, before vaccines and the unvaccinated. If someone is carrying even a little extra weight I would plead with them to get the vaccine. Let's just be honest though, the risk is just really really low for anyone in decent health. With the vaccine it's 0.
Not sure if it still exists, but when I had a kindle, I had a virtual printers you'd print documents to, and it would automatically appear on the kindle. Very good experience.

I think you could use zero page as the data stack. Treat X is your frame pointer, and the zero page "address" is then the offset into the frame. Most instructions have a zp,X addressing mode. (This scheme works well with (zp,X) too.) LDY zp,X and STY zp,X are available, and the useful read instructions have abs,Y forms. So you can do lookups into global tables with an 8-bit local variable index without having to save X.

You'd need a little region for making use of (zp),Y, probably callee-saved, putting previous values on the return stack with PHA.
The vast majority of people grew up in, and/or are comfortable with, environments with little to no actual privacy - and actually don’t care. To your example - a large, visible, and not-going-away segment of the population sees nothing wrong with the statement you’re alluding to, and strongly believes it as it also lines up with their cultural context.

It isn’t me, and apparently isn’t you - but it is a lot of people, and as the internet has seen wider adoption, that gets more visible.
> Likewise, don't choose server-side rendering just because it's buzzy and sounds powerful. Server-side rendering does basically the same job as client-side rendering: generating HTML.

Well not quite. With client side rendering you now have manage state in the browser as well as build API end points for each screen you want to create.

It's a more complicated architecture.
>Having the vaccine and COVID-19 exposure would prevent a strong case of COVID-19 and give long lasting natural immunity.

No one's ever going to inject a live virus into themselves. Inoculation is effective but we've moved past the need for that with modern vaccines. The current thinking is that we will end up getting a "mRNA cocktail" of different variants, and that that will provide the broad spectrum immune response you're talking about.

A large portion of my family is Muslim. Many people very close to me are. Your experience does not represent every experience there is. Again, I specifically called attention to how I'm discussing the common majority of Islamic followers. You're discussing a subset which deviates from the average by a large margin. You're also discussing this in a nation known for being a hotbed of extremism. The Taliban were formed in Pakistan, so it's no surprise that there's extremists there.

What Does the New AUKUS Alliance Mean for Southeast Asia?
I'll bet vaccine boosters get the same "but they said masks didn't work"/"they said we didn't need masks" treatment. I would have hoped that we'd learned that lesson but it looks like we are doomed to repeat that all over again. I'm never of fan of lying/misleading the general public because it breads so much mistrust and allows mis/disinformation to spread so much easier later.

If it's not clear, I'm talking about how "we don't need to wear masks" != "masks don't work" as much as it was "we need all the masks for medical staff right now and there is a shortage". Similarly, the messaging should not be "we don't need boosters" because we we inevitably DO need people to take a booster it will be met with resistance due to "changing facts", instead the messaging should be "boosters help but it's better to get more people vaccinated with 1-2 shots before we focus on boosters".
Haven't read it, but Gunter Grass wrote a novel, Headbirths: Or, the Germans Are Dying Off.

It's not. The drawings were a bit more cartoony with "big heads and small bodies". The book also had a lot of Logo, which we couldn't really use because our computer back then only had a BASIC interpreter.

Thanks for the suggetion though :)
To ask the obvious: once a user shares their data, isn't the genie out of the bottle?

Seems like there is nothing to stop a service from perpetually storing all data that is shared with them once. In the long term, this would negate any benefit enjoyed by users since users who share their data no longer have "full control" over it (to use the verbiage found on the site's Users page).
It's not complicated, if you only care about implementing HTTP/1.0 and selected easy/high-value parts of HTTP/1.1. If you want to comprehensively implement an HTTP/1.1 client, it's much harder. Doubly so for HTTP/2.
Or non-religion is a precursor to the kind of moral weakness that stunts a natural desire to reproduce? Maybe those who believe they are bringing souls into the world, rather than bags of meat and water, tend to have a more positive outlook on having children? Maybe those with no religion let the media's doomsday climate change scenarios become their version of Revelation?
That's a great catch @xdanger and you're right, my comment wasn't accurate. Honestly I rewrote the response a few times and this part wasn't cleaned up which is totally on me.

The overall concept that I was intending to highlight is that you can benefit from both row & columnar store in TimescaleDB. Chunks that are not yet compressed (row store data) can be modified (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) as usual and it's transactional - so you're assured it's been completed.

As of TimescaleDB 2.3, compressed chunks (columnar) do allow INSERTS but UPDATES/DELETES on compressed chunks are not yet supported natively. You _can_ decompress any chunk and modify the data (again, transactionally) as needed and recompress.

Yes; we now have a gigantic effort every single year to get out in front of the annual flu, identify the dominant strain via global viral surveillance, and produce and distribute and administer billions of vaccine doses in a few short months, each and every year.

It's a huge system that involves thousands of people.

I really like e-readers and e-books, mainly for the reasons commenters pointed out (much lighter than physical books, configurable font size, etc..).

But there are big downsides too. Mainly the market discourages ownership on the one hand and encourages piracy on the other hand. The result is that DRM protections are everywhere and some authors like Jonathan Lewin were burned up by e-book piracy and reverted to only physical copies. Also for some reason e-readers perform badly with technical writing (many references) and math formulas. It's not a technical barrier, it's just that the software is not optimized for these use cases.

Also showing off huge book shelves is impossible with an all-digital model. Some people care about that.

No. Risk / benefit is not favorable. There is no scenario outside of biological warfare where you would want to intentionally spread a deadly respiratory virus.
Pets are part of our lives. They live, eat and sleep with us and we share many of our precious moments with our cats and dogs. They’re always there for us, they’re our best friends, they’re our companions and we want to give them the best that we can. When it comes down to it, pets are more than just that though, they’re family and all have a piece of our hearts.

But how many times have you worried when you saw your pet acting in a way that was not normal for them? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just pick up the phone anytime or text a professional to learn what could be going on with your pet?

We get it! We’ve been there and that’s why we have created KeepPet. We don’t want anyone to feel helpless when they see their loving pet in despair. With this service you can put that worry to rest and have a trusted veterinarian on the phone in a heartbeat. No need to wait for an appointment or lose sleep as an expert is just one call or text away.

KeepPet gives you the peace of mind that you have always wanted when it comes to giving your pet what they need, when they need it.
Why not just let a text area do its job? Why do you need a special "text editor"?

Like it or not, we've no choice but to live through this massive planet-wide experiment in real time.

Short term we'll see lots of bursts of news, and new exciting findings, but it's only in the long term maybe even years from now that we'll know which science is truly the "settled" science.

As a layperson I am trying to sit back and watch the experts figuring it all out, because on the surface it is frustrating how hard it is to extract truth and facts instantaneously.

But, it is what it is...

Many people will think it must be like masks: once the "experts" get their boosters, then they'll tell everyone else it's a good idea to get it. They just want to be sure there's enough for them, first.

I have some travel coming up in October. I plan to get the Moderna booster even though I'm not in an eligible group.
IPv4 household situation:

one external IPv4 public address at your router/firewall, 2^16 invisible addresses NATted behind it - streaming service embeds a UUID in your client and reports it every time you make a request.

IPv6 household situation:

2^64 external addresses at your router/firewall, 1 to N of them remain static so you can get ACK packets from the outside, up to 2^64 -1 of them are randomly reassigned every so often at the mercy of your client OS's privext implementation. Streaming service embeds a UUID in your client and reports it every time you make a request.
It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac surely? How much more portable do you need?
That is a possibility, but if you like to do things the easy way there is a full-size PCIe slot on the Xavier AGX dev kit.

I fully think this is great, and we have an iPhone 6S in the house that’s still going strong!

However, it’s not exactly the latest and greatest!

There is a very long list of features not supported on the older phones!

So whilst the 6S to X may support iOS 15, it’s little more than a version number and PR realise for those phones!

Apple get free PR and credit for keeping old phones alive, when in reality the features are stripped out and not supported on older devices!

What do iOS version numbers even mean at this point!
This is definitely one of the downsides- but also possible that Google for example gets bored of one of its products and shuts it down, or acquires a product just to shut it down.

Personally I think one of the upsides is that the semi-solo team might actually decide that the successful product is "done" and move on or go into maintenance mode. IMO products like Spotify and Slack could have reached that point a while ago- sure they could still work on uptime, data compression, etc. But there is only so much you can tack onto a music player or a chatroom. They keep shipping more redesigns and new features that don't make users any better off but need to keep people busy.
It's discussed in the article, including also the story of Jericho - whose fall happened around the same time frame, and could be explained by blast wave destroying city wall (archeological evidence shows damage concentrated on one side) with thermal radiation starting fire that devastated the rest of the city.

Interestingly enough, the explosion is hypothesized to cause hypersalinity in the area, which caused its abandonment for around 600 years (as it made it impossible to grow crops).
Left turns out of a busy street work better if you have a turn to yourself, instead of waiting for traffic to break. There are some arrangements of stop lights that can make that better or much, much worse for one-lane traffic (I have one of each near me).

Going by articles like this - https://www.productled.org/foundations/what-is-product-led-g... - PLG indicates that purchase and adoption patterns in B2B SaaS have changed in a way such that salespeople are less important than they used to be.

I'm not convinced. In B2B the user of a product in a company is rarely the purchaser of the same product. Has that relationship pattern changed significantly? That article at least doesn't talk about that.
This is normal. Not all science is as clean and unambiguous as 1+1=2. There's often judgment and interpretation in science. And that's even before science starts getting turned into policy.

It's not our job to be virologists, it's not our job even to be scientists. It is our job to conceptually understand science well enough to know that disagreement between scientists does not imply that one of them is wrong, or that their "expertise" is suspect, or that they're motivated by culture wars.

Because your index.php did not need to dehydrate and hydrate.

Back in the days the apps were unresponsive, clumsy and user unfriendly.

You really can't compare web apps with old websites or even forum software like phpbb.

EDIT: The down vote of the PHP developer which still wants to write phpBB forum websites :)

Good luck with that. I'm waiting for the article that complains about frontend development ;)
That's all concerning the content though. If you don't want HTML and Javascript and video streaming and EPUBs on the web, you don't have to use them. None of that concerns HTTP itself, which is developed by IETF.

You could fairly easily make your own web browser that uses HTTP and only reads (gem)text files and ignore the rest of the web.

Or just use Lynx.

Pushing your own standard seems to only add to the complexity of it all. Now if you want to make browser that can read all the text pages, you have implement HTTPS and Gemini.

I’d say backend architecture is also changing. React is older than Kubernetes.

I do get your point though that UI dev probably sees more variation since you need to adapt to the form factor of the user’s device, which changes significantly every few years.

Yeah that's a real problem, or several. Not even sure which would be the hardest to solve...

Am I wrong to wonder if a nuke would even do it either? I mean it's a ~solid rock that's capaple of surviving a pretty good beating from the atmosphere. What's a nuke going to do exactly? Are we hoping for redirection, or destruction or?
Yeah, soon! I need to redo some of the DAG-based workflow logic to rip out our internal scheduler (we have two: internal and nomad via firecracker/gvisor).

Once that's done and I've refactored some stuff I'm planning on opening up the core runner. Our FoundationDB persistence we're working on may likely remain closed - we will provide an interface which allows you to persist stuff and a psql adapter :)

That'll likely happen early next year.

The second link doesn't say booster shots won't be needed down the road, they say they aren't needed now. Both articles are consistent with booster shots being needed down the road. The question is really about timing when the booster shots need to be given.

Places like Israel that immunised large swathes of population very early are already seeing signs of waning effectiveness and are planning to give booster shots in the near term. In the UK we're also in the same boat. Early vaccination has transformed life here, with low death rates despite high transmission. The protection the vaccine gives is providing us with massive benefits. It looks like boosters for older people going into winter make sense.

In the US that's not as clear. Vaccination has become a bitterly contested right vs left issue, in a way that it just isn't in Europe. Our Conservative government in Britain has been at the front line of pushing through a massively successful vaccination campaign, with broad cross party support for the strategy overall. There's plenty of political credit to go around. The contrast with the US couldn't be more stark.

I think the Biden booster plan looks ill advised, but at least he's not talking his voters into getting them or their loved ones killed or crippled by this thing. I'm sitting here, a fully vaccinated British conservative, watching interviews with dying patients in US hospitals saying they didn't get vaccinated because they are conservatives, wondering how things could have gone so horribly wrong.
