Even if it turns out that the data is clear in the long run: I had my third Pfizer today (along with influenza minutes later) and if this is the vaccine hangover I'm going to get twice a year, that's pretty exhausting too.

Still waaay better than covid or the flu, but damn. The world is never going to be the same.
WFH only changes things in a small number of professions (hard to wait tables remotely, and sometimes doctors need to see patients in person). A large amount of people in those professions don't want to WFH (thus why a lot of big tech companies are INCREASING their real estate footprint rather than reducing it right now. Google, HubSpot, Spotify. Some of these are very open to WFH, but a lot of folks don't want to).

It will make a difference, but it will be small. During that time, the rest of folks will still flok to cities.

As to financial literacy, books tend to make things much more complicated than they are, and will be too focused. For a beginner, there's a few things that matter.

First, the "flowchart". You can find a bunch of these online, but I like this one:

https://u.cubeupload.com/demonlesondledon/FIREFlowChart.png

This is so you don't fall in the trap of, let say, having a 5% investment while sitting on a 15% debt, or not use your employer 401k matching and invest the money somewhere worse.

Then there's basic investment strategies to get started. Bogglehead gets you pretty far there: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio

The next is understanding how the US market works. It averages 10% a year even if you include the great depression/recession and every other downturn. One day it could do like Japan and never recover/stay flat, but it has never happened in the US so far:

https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/historical-stock-market...

Even for the great depression, while you'll hear that it took 25 years to recover, but that's based on the Nasdaq, which is a very small sample of stocks. The market in aggregate recovered much faster.

Finally, you want to understand all the variables when comparing cost/return of home ownership vs renting. It's a LOT more complex than people make it sound. The NYT has a calculator that shows it, alongside a paywalled article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-cal...

Bonus: a lot of it just comes down to internalizing the average market return and its risk, and comparing it against all the gains and leverage you can make in other ways. For example, with current interest rates, you probably want to pay your mortgage -as slowly as possible-, which is counterintuitive to most people.
This just reads like a hit piece on someone who doesn’t think the “right things” (and they called him far right? Ok…) couched in a weird attempt to lay the excesses of Silicon Valley entirely at the feet of political conservatives, pretty strange.
Yes, that is how the crypto works from a technical perspective.

But the places that want to know your identity for casual surveillance will not settle for just a pseudonymous FIDO exchange. What will happen is there will be a handful of companies that you directly authenticate to with FIDO (eg Google), who require a bunch of personal information to create an account, that then vouch for your larger identity to third parties.

The problem is not technical - there are many ways to replace website auth passwords that would be better. The problem is the business desires all but guarantee newly developed methods will leak more of our personal information. Is a business more likely to do the work of implementing FIDO themselves, or to tie into Sign in with Bigcorp? Given what is already happening, that answer is clear.

Simple per-site passwords continue to exist due to the momentum of everyone understanding them, despite their drawbacks for the surveillance industry. Regardless of what other methods are offered, we should aim to preserve the existence of the password method as at least one of the choices, such that we can freely decide whether those other methods actually benefit us. The growing insistence on snake oil "2FA" is already bad enough.
I got an F-91W in April for those times when I am banging around and don't want to risk messing up my beloved Casio 6510BC. I set the time on the F-91W when I got it and it has only drifted off 21 seconds in that time. That is impressively accurate for a $20 CAD watch.

That's true. We're all dependent on plenty of services. But the difference between those and SaaS is that they're all commodity services. This means you have a steady selection of service providers, all providing equivalent service, and there's no risk with any individual provider disappearing - you can just switch over to a different one, and get the same thing.

An important aspect of most SaaS businesses is that they're not commodities. It's a core part of most SaaS business models - they're purposefully sticky. When you become dependent on one, and it shuts down, or gets acquired, or decides to discontinue the features you care about, there usually is no drop-in replacement. There may not be a replacement at all, for the combination of features you need. And whatever alternative you find, migrating all your data is usually difficult, and often not possible.
By the logic you are spouting the stone wheel is more important, than the invention of the internal combustion engine.

> If I'm not misremembering history, then their delay in action - due to the difficulty of getting news of the situation out of the area of destruction - led to the bombing of Nagasaki as well

It was a bit more complicated than that [0]. There was intense resistance to the Allies' demands for unconditional surrender. Japanese scientists confirmed on the 7th August (the day after the bombing) that Hiroshima had been atom bombed and Nagasaki was bombed on the 9th. The Japanese didn't actually surrender until the 15th August, following a failed coup d'état in which elements of the Army rebelled against the emerging surrender plans [1].

Interestin -

Paul has explained that no fork could be used by any organization that values diversity etc until it (copies?) the changes being made to tz?

" All this work would be need to be done before any such fork could be used by an organization that is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion."

That's major. Basically, the existing tzdb is no longer permitted to be used by any organization that values diversity.

I was trying to understand what was going on and this was it looks like the key motivator, and importantly Paul has explained that forks CANNOT be used by ANY project that has any claim to diversity / nondiscrimination / etc.
Now apply that to long term vaccine safety.

Ooh hitchens is fun when his logic goes against theistic religion. Not so enjoyed when it works against the modern religion of scientism.
It's an interesting question.

I've written a lot of "glue" in Python using asyncio, websockets, AQMP and similar things for my IoT system at home. The coding is fun and the performance seems excellent, but that's because the workload is low. If I was at the point where I needed more than one core worth of performance I wouldn't be so happy.

One case where I am a little frustrated with Python now is a "batch job" that processes and resizes images. There are numerous half-baked ways to farm out the work to separate processes. These would be "good enough" but they are still half baked, and the frameworks that give a little structure to the process have one thing in common: they don't run on Windows.

In a pure "glue" case there is also an Amdahl's law kind of situation: it's not crazy to have a 32-core or more system today and a single-threaded "glue" system that dispatches tasks will have a hard time keeping those cores busy if it is spending even 2% of the CPU effort that it takes to do the real work.

“Proper” gotos, like continuations, are hard to reason about and optimize.

Restricted versions each covering a major use case are easier to reason about, and to optimize.

Anyhow, pretty much every version of “goto” using the name implemented or proposed for Python or other structured languages is castrated: typically, it take only a static label and has restrictions on where it can jump based on structure (out of blocks but not into blocks, within the same function, is pretty typical.)

Proper goto can jump anywhere in the program, even dynamically computed at runtime, and if state isn't set up the way the code jumped to expects, too bad. Everything more restricted is just dickering about how much it should be castrated.
True (I think? Right ballpark anyway). But, how much of the population does that cover? Between China and India to start with, should be quite a lot. And then you have alliances, the US has nukes in Europe and submarines a bunch of places.

And that's just all the publicly known ones.

Cases are recorded in general. I don't know if there's a BigQuery LexisNexis or whatever, but I bet someone has access to a representative database and can grep for "we the jury declare the defendant not guilty" followed by "the judge was foiled and slunk back to its lair to concoct a new scheme".

From the link you shared:

"What they're saying: "Even if boosting were eventually shown to decrease the medium-term risk of serious disease, current vaccine supplies could save more lives if used in previously unvaccinated populations than if used as boosters in vaccinated populations," the scientists wrote."

In other words, it isn't even saying they aren't needed at all, but that it is better to have everyone fully vaccinated before we start on giving boosters - with the exception of some folks with compromised immune systems.

And to be fair, this is the sort of messaging that other places were handing out. It also isnt all that unusual that different parties give out different information, especially when some of those folks aren't medical professionals versed in such diseases or the intricacies of the immune system.

Your comment also makes me very happy to not be in the US right now. The government here (Norway) simply sent me an SMS when the vaccine was available, and prompted me to schedule both doses at that time. I imagine if we get to the point of booster shots, something similar will happen.

But I hope we get the world a dose or two of the vaccine first so that fewer people might die.
This is unsurprising but I'm glad that it is being researched "formally".

I think this level of automation in-between cruise-control and full self driving is incredibly dangerous and should be made illegal. It is well known that humans can't maintain focus on repetitive tasks for any significant length of time. Driving is already quite repetitive (and we see lots of accidents due to lack of focus) but the more automation you add the worse it gets. Especially when you add irresponsible marketing such as calling it "Autopilot" which strongly suggests that it can "Pilot" itself "Automatically".

My proposal would be to hold the manufacturer responsible for the behaviour of their products as soon as they pass a very basic form of automation (such as anything more than speed-maintenance cruise control). They shouldn't be allowed to claim that it is the driver that is responsible and need to pay damages both to property and life when accidents occur.
Exactly. It's like promising not to snoop phone conversations when all the valuable information is in the metadata, or like promising to avoid using swords in an era where people fight with guns.

In your linked article it explicitly states that the booster shots aren't "needed" because they would do more good as initial doses in unvaccinated people, not that it also wouldn't help already vaccinated people.
Because "notifications" have been such a ground breaking feature for end users. /s

Agreed. I'm kind of surprised to see this post so high up on the front page here.
That sounds like a faulty digitizer.
To be a contrarian, wouldn't the best booster be a low dose of actual COVID-19 a few months after being vaccinated? This would give the individual natural immunity to more antigen sites than just the spike protean. Having the vaccine and COVID-19 exposure would prevent a strong case of COVID-19 and give long lasting natural immunity.
Interesting. What other economic impacts has Covid had? You can't kill 650,000 people without some impacts. That's the population of Portland, OR, the 25th most populace city in the USA.

I don't eat sardines so I can't offer any suggestions there. I do know that it can take some time to transition. my best recommendation when starting is to not count calories the first week. Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're not. The full transition is 21-30 days usually. But after you transition, its great.

The best thing about an ereader for me is, I can read it lying down on my side. I wear glasses, so if I'm reading a real book I need to have them on, and lying on my side crunches the frame up.

I find the "one and done" way in which the J&J shot was marketed and approved was really disingenuous. It seems more like J&J knew they had a slightly riskier vaccine and wanted to cover themselves from the additional liability of a second shot, while also speeding up the approval process.
I wonder if it's a bad interaction between one of this person's extensions and Tumblr. Presumably if this were a problem for everyone, new blot posts would have cratered and Tumblr's SRE would have been notified and any recent releases would have been rolled back. So I would assume this issue affects only a small fraction of users. Could be wrong but I guess we will see.
The world will go back to normal when we accept that everyone will get Covid and there's no need to hide from it. People have some kind of mild mental illness from Covid and they haven't even gotten it.

Everything New With Safari in iOS 15
Here in NYC, we already see Amazon (via Whole Foods) abusing the bike lanes. They have a fleet of electric bikes with several large bins towed behind in a trailer. The trailer takes up the whole bike lane (preventing any passing). They've turned massive swaths of the sidewalk outside their Bowery store into a staging area, and the bikes make frequent trips over places like the nearby Williamsburg Bridge, where other cyclists are trying to travel; I consider myself fortunate that I only need to bike in that area occasionally.

Of course, these bike lanes are also home to a growing moped infestation, and law enforcement doesn't care about that, either, and they don't do much about the (privately operated) school buses that routinely park in the Vernon Boulevard bike lanes near the Department of Education facility at 44th Rd, either, so, I guess there's just an open invitation to abuse the commons.
That's what they said about chicken pox when I was a child.

Technology advances, fortunately.

There is no going back to normal if everyone gets covid: it is a deadly disease that has killed close to five millions of people.

This sort of fatalism is not a really useful approach for reasoning about the risk, in my view.
One of the weaknesses of agency-driven products is the lack of market understanding and ongoing connection. It's frequently a sweep up of anecdotes from their developers, clients, and perhaps some other research. Sometimes it's a vanity project for someone who ultimately knows that they won't turn the agency into a product company and they ultimately move once the product gets attention. You have to wait them out by being selective in how you burn your resources while developing a "brand" that's different from an agency.

Be genuinely interested in solving the problems that your users have. Devtools have always been attractive as products to developers, but they are notoriously difficult to be successful with. You need to find all of the workflows that your users have and optimize them effectively. Sometimes the things that are needed are dull and boring, but if they visibly take someone's time then there is long-term value. Be careful about supporting esoteric approaches that will disappear, but also be aware that this can help with locking in some customers at the right point.

Agencies tend to be bad at support. They are optimized for making new things and moving on. You have an opportunity to provide a strong support experience which is coupled with intelligence gathering on developer needs.

I just browsed around a bit and was left annoyed by the lack of styling. I clicked on a link that I knew was supposed to bring me to another Gemini site and yet I couldn't tell that's what happened. Until I compared the domains, I thought I may have still been on the same Gemini site.

On the web, even sites that use templates tend to have customizations that make them distinct (even if it's just a logo change in the header). As long as no one is intentionally trying to trick me, I can tell without thinking about it when I've clicked a link that's brought me to a new website.

25 kph is about 15 mph, which is not particularly fast in a bike lane here in the US. It is a lane, not a path; basically a painted shoulder theoretically closed to vehicles. However, most cyclists seem to be riding for sport, few people ride at a sedate pace because you're on the bike to burn calories and improve your fitness, not to get somewhere in normal clothes without becoming sweaty.

It feels too dangerous to be a couple feet from all our big SUVs and pickup trucks at 100 kph/55 mph unless you're also going an appreciable fraction of that speed.
