Moreso, I sincerely believe the fear exacerbated by the ridiculous measures and the social isolation especially of the vulnerable and sick (no visits etc.) caused a substantial proportion of the deaths. We are not isolated organisms.

Not true, surely many of them are throwing money away on "blockchain technology", which cuts into their massive profits!
Pretty sure at this point any disagreement automatically means you're a right-wing anti-vaccine protester who it is now socially acceptable to wish death upon and cough on hoping they get COVID-19. At least that is the impression I get from r/Portland and r/VancouverWA where these new left-wing terrorist communities are being bred.
lol somebody down voted me. i guess i’m not allowed to publicly laugh at a joke? or maybe some just really hates anything about blockchain? seems like they should also be laughing at how this makes fun of it
I agree. When people act with disbelief at the results of an algo they've made, they're either sincere, in which case they don't actually understand the thing they have built (which would suggest a lack of competence, which many are terrified to admit); or, they're lying, and attempting to absolve themselves of any responsibility for those outcomes.

As soon it comes in contact with a human, you don't get to wipe your hands of the outcome if you dislike it. You have to own the successes and the failures.

These are the same places that write hit pieces on big tech for "abusing" users - ie, Apple's payment platform which DOES let you easily cancel ALL subscriptions that you sign up through them and reminds you to do so if you delete apps etc.
Thanks for the input Troy. Although I can see the reasons for it, transfer restrictions seems to me a little like the company has too much control over its shares - but like you said, they aren't "privately-traded securities". If I owned a restaurant with a buddy and wanted out, I imagine I wouldn't be able to just sell it on to somebody else without my buddy's consent.

There is also a shortage of tanker delivery drivers which means that it is impossible to increase the number of deliveries which leads to outages which are then amplified via social media and news outlets (anything that gets clicks/engagements wins the race for Top Post/Ad Views/Headlines).

The biggest problem imo is that any time just about any government official in any country in any continent anywhere on the planet says trust us there is no need to panic people cast their minds back to the previous times they have heard that and (rather naturally) go 'Yeah, right!' and so think to themselves 'better safe than sorry'.

The UK gov has done a U-Turn and said that they will grant 5000 temporary work visas to EU HGV drivers .... that expire on Christmas Eve. Quelle surprise the take up rate has been rather low.
This has downvotes currently for some reason, but it's true and I do the same thing for subscriptions whenever possible. There's one-click unsubscribe for any service purchased through Apple, it's really nice.
There isn't a universal answer to this - every company will be set up differently. Ask whomever runs the stock plan at your company. Not only do they have the knowledge to give you answers, they probably also know which internal folk might want to buy, if it is allowed.
Firefox has a browser.send_pings setting to control this, not sending any pings when it is set to false. This is explicitly a valid browser implementation of the ping attribute:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#hyperlink-...

> 2. Optionally, return. (For example, the user agent might wish to ignore any or all ping URLs in accordance with the user's expressed preferences.)

The problem isn't that Firefox doesn't support the ping attribute, the problem is that Google fails to respect user requests not to track.

Yes, but if we're talking about some hypothetical tool that requires a valid AST, there might be a situation where I don't have a valid AST and want to save the code. Similarly, I had a job where we used pre-commit hooks that ran a linting script. I had to override the hook to commit which was slightly annoying at times.
I'm not 100% sure why you're downvoted, but I don't think we disagree with anything. As I said on my previous post, I was just making up the numbers, and so if it costs $6/gallon-o-gas for CO2 extraction, then my previous point is even more accurate (though I might not have said it very clearly).
To add a little color and for clarity:

Some google links (notably shopping links for products) don't just point at a google-owned redirect (presumably for ad tracking/payment calculation?), they also change the link target on click (?!?evil!?!). There are redirect-removal addons which re-write the original URL correctly, but the on-click handlers mangle the target of the link if the event is not blocked.
The brilliant thing about Scrum marketing is it's pitched and talked about as infallible. If it didn't work, it's because you didn't do it right. If Scrum worked for you, you must've done it right.

So, if you do exactly as Scrum prescribes and do not find success, in what way aren't you "on your own"?

Same shenanigans with Netgear router customer service. They have a "you are _" in line customer service that sounds like it's glitched out to get you to quit. I stayed on the line.

After 2 hours (I just put it on speaker and kept coding) suddenly it went from 90 minutes to someone is speaking to me.
The ping attribute is blocked by uBlock Origin. It's called hyperlink auditing in the dashboard.
> He doesn't let me cancel...

This is the part that baffles me. There's no "let me cancel". You are giving notice of cancellation by telephone as required. Clearly the agent understands why you are calling. Therefore you have given notice. Therefore the service is cancelled. Any further attempt to charge your card is fraud.

Of course it doesn't work this way in the US, since the cost of fighting this point there is more than the cost of your subscription. Therefore this kind of abuse is permitted there.

The popularity of the Book of Records probably doesn't have much relation to sales or awareness of the Guinness drinks. Guinness Extra considerably predates the 1850s: Guinness has been a big manufacturing operation and a big brand for a long time. (However Guinness Draught, being a keg beer, is naturally from the 1950s, though it's the successor of Guinness' cask beer.) Several other European beer brands have histories going back to at least the late C19: Heineken, Carlsberg, Paulaner, ... Several of the famous Italian amaros like Fernet-Branca and Campari are solidly second half of C19; so is Angostura. Chartreuse is considerably older. Several Scottish whisky distilleries have quite long histories of continuous production, though of course the current international fame of Scottish single malts is relatively recent. Bacardi was distributed outside Cuba since at least the 1930s.

That's what I did with 24 Hour Fitness. I had to cancel in person, which is ridiculous, but the guy told me that because of the way their system works, they will charge me for the next month too. When the charges showed up a month later, I use chargeback to refund the money and that was the end of it. Their system supposedly being slow to process isn't a reason for me to be charged another month; one shouldn't be rewarded for incompetence. I was ready to fight them on it because nowhere in the agreement did they mention charging me another month after cancelation but they let the chargeback stay -- probably because they know it's baseless and was hoping people won't bother fighting them.
This is true, but I think there are ways we can mitigate this. A voucher system could help fix some of these issues and allow some kids in crappy inner city schools to get out and go to a better one.

Interesting, my experience differs from yours. I got the recommendation of "Mind Illuminated" here on HN, a super valuable book for people into meditation IMHO, maybe the best?
It is really bonkers to me that we don't design systems to be introspectable and replay-able. If you have a system relies on sampling from a random distribution to make decisions then you really ought to make the whole system deterministic and provide it with a single logged entropy source so when something goes south you can replay exactly what happened.

I do understand, and I am outraged. The stastical modellers have given science, and particularly the public perception of science, a terrible blow, as well as the actual outcomes of blindly swallowing their predictions.

Geez, and I was surprised to see 400Gbps QDR optics hitting the mainstream. Even if we double the data rate every few of years (as we have been, 10Gbps, 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 100Gbps, 200Gbps, 400Gbps, 800Gbps, I expect it will continue), we are at least 10 full cycles off from realizing those kinds of speeds, or 30-40 years?

Edit: since they are multiplexing, it almost seems like this is DWDM, on 4 optics, and combined into a single datastream. That means is probably more attainable sooner. Seems similar to just adding more cores (or lanes like in current QDR optics).
It's great that Netflix has this functionality, but it's frustrating that Netflix has it built out, but only deploys it where legally compelled to. It shows how these companies are not very consumer friendly.

It's also frustrating that they aren't legally compelled to in my jurisdiction :)

That's why i like the idea of a "climate dividend". Everyone will pay a carbon tax, which then finances the climate dividend, which is evenly paid out to the population. So if you emit below average amounts of carbon, you will actually be better off financially.
Seastar Framework seems to be the star behind all this. Anyone using that for other purposes?
Anecdotally, I've experienced the exact opposite. The company I work with had been doing waterfall development for 15+ years. We switched to agile using the Scrum framework. It wasn't smooth sailing the entire way, there were teams early on that struggled with adopting Scrum. Most often it was due to the team attempting to solve every retro issue by updating "the process", which only addressed symptoms instead of fixing underlying communication problems within the team. The other major hurdle was getting product to accept that a roadmap isn't a set of commitments but is instead a list of prioritized "wants". Now, we're 3 years out from the switch and most of those pain points have been removed. It's lead to massive improvements in quality, predictability, and overall happiness across the company.
What if someone pushes them infront of your car, did you still kill them? Is it still fair to say you "literally killed them"? What if they decided to kill themselves, and intentionally jumped in front of your car? Samething? Both sound more misleading than true. Technically true granted, but i don't think the bar for reasonable is should be "technically true, but misleading"

What about planters nuts? Is it reasonable say they are "literally killing" children/teens/people as well?
TV ads have certainly gotten louder, from what I remember, but are otherwise the same to me.
The COVID virus is 20 nanometers in diameter at its smallest.

Carbon Dioxide is one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Its diameter is 0.33 nanometers.

If a mask increases carbon dioxide intake, then it can stop the COVID virus. If masks are not effective against something as small as the COVID virus, then it wouldn't increase carbon dioxide intake.
It may not be obvious, but some of the folks most negatively affected by social media are the older set.
Interesting. Sqlite moves some data off-page (out of the btree node) if the row is bigger than a certain threshold (the beginning of it is still stored in-page). I wonder if this could be hooked to compress the overflow data.

I would pay for good web search
We all have noticed google search's performance has degraded (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26460092). Maybe if their incentives were aligned towards providing good search (what they had in 2012) instead of selling ads, we could get great search. Could be a subscription service like Netflix.

Seriously, I'm willing to pay for this. Ad-free of course. What do you guys think?
So.... I have run into this. You can require custom limit policies -- the caveat is that you as a company need to sign something that states that you take full responsibility for the allotment of the service based on you effectively controlling the quota.

This is done only through your rep, and with them talking to some internal teams....

Have a good relationship with your rep, and I have never gotten a "no" from Amazon....

Again, this is done through actually talking to them.

For example, I was spinning up thousands of instances for some things... and had to take full control of my limits with the agreement that I would pay for that which I spun regardless....

ALTHOUGH, once we had a dev accidentally check in secrets to github, on the 201st repo, which as our paid plan was 200 repos, it automatically mad #201 public - and within an hour we had hundreds of instances lit up in literally every AZ on the globe to mine for some german op....

It took us several hours to kill and close all that... but in the end, AWS just let go of the six-figure bill that would have ensued....

Your project is dope... I just want people to know that limits are soft-set.

The only limits that are hard set are the actual number of nodes available for anything in a given AZ/Region -- but their capacity is way beyond what it was a few years ago, so I don't see that as an issue any more.

However, again, your tool is dope.

For us people blessed with ADHD, ad blockers have become just as essential as ramps are for wheelchair users. I'm dead serious, getting anything done on the web with ads is a complete disaster.

Their continued existence and unhindered operation should be legally protected.

Edit: For people who might not be aware, ADHD could be seen as an executive function disorder.

It's impossible on a biochemical or neurological level for me to ignore irrelevancies such as ads. Best case I get distracted (that thing I was doing... yeah not gonna happen today), worst case even make a purchase (also known as the ADHD tax, life's not cheap for us invalids).

The medication is alright, but requires supplementation by things such as strict time schedules, alarms and reminders for all the things, and... ad blockers.
"Fortran" and "solid" are not two words that go together in my mind ;-)

But the OP didn't ask if the code was good (or "solid"), they asked if it would make any sense to a non-physicist programmer. And the answer to that question, I'm guessing, is most likely not. But I would be very happy if I turned out to be wrong about that.

Otherwise I love ClearURLs.
