> My understanding was that the forests from the East Coast to the Mississipi were almost park-like, unlike the dank, dark, scary forests the colonials were used to. Someone was tending them.

This is the kind of odd B.S. I often hear from people who don't know history, particularly European history, yet they feel so confident making stuff up.

Forests in Europe were tended since the middle ages. It was a profession. The same for England. Where do you think the timber came for to support the cathedral building boom of the 1000s? It came from well managed forests, not dark, dank places that no one tended. They were used for food/hunting grounds, for picking mushrooms and berries, hunting birds, and the forests were controlled, expanded or trimmed by royal decree that balanced the need for hunting grounds and food provision with the needs for wood. They were well mapped out, with hereditary positions of people who lived in the forests and keep them clean and well-ordered. This was the case for hundreds of years before any colonists set sail for the Americas, and was carried over by the colonists who had even more need for food and wood than their ancestors in Europe.

What claim made in the article do you think is incorrect?
Or, the information that he had at the time was that masks didn't work. And it turned out that that information was wrong and that when information that it was wrong became available, then we changed the guidance.

I mean seriously, this is how science works and how guidance based on science works. We go wit the best answer we have at the time and continue to search for better answers.
Not sure but all the companies I've joined tried to use these kinds of tools and none of them worked. Projects still gets delayed with mounting backlogs and increased pressure from business to ship. Maybe I'm just unlucky.

Not just their "expert" opinion, but whatever opinion is current this week. This is the same media machine that lied to us about masks, told us to be suspicious of a "Trump vaccine", and that covid was "just the flu". So logically the reasonable thing to do is censor everyone who disagrees, because then they'll be right.
As a starting point, there's a social network analysis (100+ page PDF) of the "Covid Network Complex". One could work outwards from some of those nodes, to track lobbying and media influence. https://www.disclose.tv/the-covid-network-an-analysis/

I was having palpitations the morning of my cardiologist visit. Had an ECG and found absolutely nothing wrong. That led us to believe I was suffering from anxiety as SARS-CoV-2 can cause your body to reduce tryptophan and thus create a serotonin imbalance.

This pricing man....

We have a small Prometheus running on t3.xlarge instance. Yes we don't have a redundancy or anything fancy, but it's fine, we can live without it.

It does 105k samples scrapes every 10 seconds. If I plug these numbers in I get... $1.5k a month before storage and query costs.

That instance costs us $150 a month? Redundancy is expensive but surely not 10x?

I'm sure folks will say "yes, but how much does it costs you to run it?". Well, that's the thing, it's practically free to run. Prometheus just works as long as you don't do silly things.
Why has society gotten so authoritarian lately? Arbitrary things shouldn't just be banned in free countries.

This is strange.

I frequently see stickers promoting implied indecent exposure and vandalism, eg the Calvin/Hobbes theme of a character urinating on Chevy/Ford/etc logos. I see, less often, the king of four letter words. It's been a while since I've seen the brazenly bulbous bovine booboos dangling beneath the rear bumper, typically of a truck, due to necessary clearance. I see conditional threats and calls for violence too.

I can't say that if I was an officer I wouldn't kind of want to arrest him, if only to see the color of his lips. I wouldn't. If the guy has a steady diet of hotdogs, his veracity is unassailable. If he's really a cannibal, so are some officers[1]. If he's simply crass, he's no minority.

My impression is that he's successfully self isolating, which may be good. Who wouldn't keep a distance from someone with such a bumper sticker? Let him have his ass and eat it too.

I agree it’s imprecise to say it is designed to boost disinformation (which I quoted from the parent); it is more precise to say it was designed to maximise revenue.

Which, due to the business model, is more or less incompatible with presenting the truth. Truth is often uncomfortable, full of caveats and subject to change; rarely does it make for a good story. If it turns out that presenting outright false information (including lying by omission, etc.) as established fact keeps eyeballs for longer and engages more people, then the algorithm would be doing just that.

Sure, if you watch technical content and train the algorithm by watching videos from solid, trusted sources, you can (for now) get it to give you sound recommendations, but I doubt this is reliable or representative. Thus, I believe acting as if YouTube was designed to boost misinformation is not necessarily wrong, and may be more or less an approximation of the average case.

And the problem is not quite people. If people are expected to constantly counteract the efforts of a sophisticated machine that doesn’t have their interests in mind and can spend a million dollars just optimizing its GUI and algorithms, which are then deployed against each individual user (who comes alone, tired after work, low on willpower and with lowered defences from the safety of their home) to exploit the darkest in them in order to show them more ads, then the problem is not quite people—the problem is that we are dealing with an adversary.

Can this be mitigated by ensuring that historical/legacy events are all transformed to more modern equivalents? Similar in theory to https://stripe.com/blog/api-versioning ? Then you at least have a chain of testable transformations and a reduced cardinality for the actual interactions that reflects the cardinality of all the ways your business users actually use your product today.

Of course, this can be lossy, but is it any more lossy than the non-event-sourced CRUD system which is essentially transforming historical events into "overwrite these fields" events that can only be used for their original purpose?

To me, the reason not to use event sourcing is more that the tooling and developer experience is just really poor - and so decisions like the above, while valuable to think through directly, rapidly become overwhelming. Visualizations of system state are only as good as the code you bring yourself. I'm hopeful that people building tools on top of things like https://materialize.com will start to change this though!

I would bet that a lot of owners of newer iPhones don't even know how to turn them off. It used to just require holding down the sleep/power button and then swiping across the screen. On newer iPhones, you have to (in order): hold down one of the volume buttons, then hold down the sleep/power button, then swipe across the screen.

I honestly didn't know this until I just googled it. Apparently what I've been doing (vol+, vol-, sleep/power) is the 'hard reset'.
Event sourcing is decent when you ingest a lot of things that are mostly one way and immutable once they come into your system.

If you have bidirectional communication, you wind up contorting yourself into a pretzel to bury "state" into your event streams.
I wasn't talking about the particular use case in the OP, only rebutting the point that Pi's aren't useful where something more specialized would be.
The restrictions will be relaxed as we get 80% vaccinated - which we're very likely to do, this year.

Also the Australian method has given us less COVID deaths in the past two years than America had, yesterday. It is a pity that those 600k Americans that died won't be able to bask in America's superior environment of individual rights.
That sounds fun. I was hoping to get around to supporting Raspbian soon. Feel free to open an issue on Github if you get stuck or need help! I'm interested to hear how it goes.

Some tips to get you started:

1. Where it's built:

https://github.com/firezone/firezone/blob/master/.github/wor...

2. You'll likely need the following debian packages installed:

dpkg-dev ntp zlib1g-dev libssl-dev openssl bzip2 procps rsync ca-certificates build-essential git gnupg curl unzip locales net-tools systemd

3. I build Firezone inside Vagrant VMs using the `vagrant` user, so you'll probably want to adjust for your local user.

I doubt that the old MagSafe chargers are capable of outputting the variety of voltages necessary to be usefully compliant with USB-C charging. IIRC, the old MagSafe chargers put a fairly small voltage on their output pins, and when a load was detected they turned on the full voltage and power—but there was no real data communication between the computer and the brick (just between the computer and the connector at the end of the charging cable). USB-PD however is a complicated protocol.
That's a funny analogy to make. Didn't the Enlightenment involve the promotion of expert knowledge, a heightened value of empirical truth?

Transmission to others is still an issue in the un-vaccinated.

Your logic doesn't make sense. You absolutely can choose to not get the serious covid version that hospitalizes you: by getting the vaccine! By socially distancing, and not hanging out with people who don't take very basic precautions. Even your second sentence: "COVID may hurt me either way" doesn't reflect reality - it's MUCH MUCH MUCH more likely to hurt you if you are unvaccinated.

And while personal details may vary, we can estimate covid risks pretty well with the population base rate, sliced by a few basic dimensions (age, BMI, smoker status). We also have a pretty good idea of vaccine risks - almost none.

We may not know vaccine side effects long term, but we also don't know the effects of long term covid. We do know that short term, the disease is way worse than the vaccine, and the more people that have it, the more chance it gets worse.

Look, I'm all for people making their own choice when it comes to the vaccine. Similarly, I think it's fair that society have a say about when unvaccinated people are allowed to participate in society.
A statement I once heard, attributed to Christopher Strachey: “Merely because you can push a pea up a mountain with your nose doesn't mean you should.”

Biggest mask study so far:

https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/09/surgical-mask...

Cloth masks don't work at all, and surgical masks only reduce infections by 11%. N95s are probably a lot more effective but this study didn't measure those.
I agree. The reasons for the situation in Alberta are

1) Delta variant being more dangerous that the previous ones, causing a higher number of infections ending up in hospitals and ICUs. I shudder at the though of what would have happened if we got a delta wave before vaccination. We are lucky we got it after vaccinating 70% of the population. India and Iran (and I am sure some other countries) got their delta wave before being able to vaccinate a large enough percentage of people and the result was a human tragedy.

2) During the previous waves, when the number of infections went up, the government imposed harder restrictions to avoid this very eventuality. During this wave, government thought the vaccines meant hospitalization and ICU would be fully disconnected from case numbers, so did not impose restrictions until it was too late and the ICUs were already on the verge of bursting. Restrictions such as mask mandates and capacity limits which were present in previous waves were not imposed until two weeks ago for this wave.
In both VS and VSCode, semantic analysis is handled by specific language extensions (some of which might ship in the box, as C# is in VS and TypeScript is in VSCode). So it's impossible to answer this question without knowing which language you're using.

Event sourcing could be a great architecture for general purpose applications - if we had good frameworks and specialized event stores built for this purpose.

Some features that would be needed:

* Automatic , schema based event and aggregate versioning

* A combined event and aggregate data store with ACID guarantees, schema validation and indexes

* event migrations (so you don't have to carry around old event versions forever)

* Event stream migrations that allow re-writing streams for purging data, gdpr cleanup, etc

* Copy on write based stream clones that can be used for testing with production data

As it stands, such a solution is nowhere to be seen. So you have to cobble together a working system with lots of custom work , which often ends in a complete mess.
For what it's worth, the studies are open. Science is a fairly transparent process. If someone is interested in educating themselves & understanding these discussions, there really is no barrier.

Here's an 8-hour press release by the FDA [1]. If you want to understand the logic behind the decision-making, it is absolutely available. It's just boring to watch, I suppose.

I actually know of someone who was hit by a high driver. Hurt pretty bad. One of the problems is there is not a way to prove pot impairment, so reporting doesn’t really exist (no breathalyzer for pot).

Maybe they think they’re driving slow but I haven’t seen any change in speed. Is it worse than texting and driving? probably not, but I suspect it isn’t great either. Pot today is very potent.
Eh, two-way binding is still alive and well it’s just implemented explicitly on top of one-way bindings. It seems most developers find this easier to reason about but the relationship is still there.

Like if all you’re doing is using the event to take the value from the UI and shove it into the model with setState and re-render then you made a two-way binding.

Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could tell React to just do this for you and save you the boilerplate? Boom you invented ng-model.

The bottom line is it doesnt matter in 95% of cases for the average SAAS company whether you choose to build with Node or Python or Kotlin or Ruby. They all work and modern clouds make it pretty easy to scale them. So it comes down to personal tastes. Some people will never want to use Node, and some feel the same about Ruby.

The idea is that the masks filter particulates at the source, and then again at the destination. See https://www.livescience.com/face-mask-visualization-droplets... for a visualization. Reasonable. Wearing masks when having symptoms is elementary courtesy, and self quarantining is even better. Unfortunately we've embraced the 'asymptomatic spreader' idea a bit too much and now we regard anyone that doesn't take the most extreme measures at all times as a de facto murderer, because there might be a tiny chance they are infectious. Not healthy.
