It is nice though that you can control your taxes via choice on a property tax, not much with an income tax.

But ultimately it seems like they get you one way or another, through sales, Income, and or property tax.

Well, it is actually not higher.

Definitely not when you take the speed of Delta into account. For example Scotland (as the rest of the UK) did not vaccinate 12-15 year old children. When the school year started, about 10% of this population got infected in 5 weeks. So during first 5 weeks you had 1:10 change of getting COVID-19. About 27:100000 of them got hospitalized when in comparison CDC assumption was 38:100000 in 4 months.

So they are wrong as were UK officials. UK started vaccinating 12 year old and older since 20th September.

In addition. If you are going to develop myocarditis after vaccine induced immune reaction, changes are that it will happened to you when you get the infection. People are getting it after flu shot but it is given only once so it is not really comparable.

In most cases, it's probably faster, not to mention simpler, to draw round caps/joins as square caps/miters and mask out the round part in the fragment shader (mess with alpha, or use discard if you don't care about early Z). The current approach creates a lot of sliver triangles, which will result in unnecessary vertex and fragment shader invocations. As an added bonus, you can easily implement some amount of antialiasing for the round caps/joins.

I agree calling their display tech QLED is pretty shady, and clearly just intended to confuse people. But I'm glad their high end display tech is not OLED yet, because nobody seems to have solved burn in satisfactorily yet (if you play a lot of games or use them with a PC).
The part I have never seen elaborated on in the "Tether is a Ponzi" claims is at what point will people using Tether make money? Tethers are IOUs to facilitate moving USD between financial institutions (mainly between exchanges, and mostly used by the exchanges themselves).

You can spend $1 USD to get 1 Tether that is "redeemable" (by trade, not through the Tether company) for exactly $1 USD. A Ponzi requires some kind of promised payout, no?
> “The Nobel Prize folks could have done something with this year’s award to directly aid global health efforts during a 100-year pandemic. And they chose not to. This is utter dereliction. It is an indefensible decision that will cost lives,” Alexey Merz, a cell biologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, wrote on Twitter on 5 October.

Why does everything has to be about gestures nowadays? And when some people do the "wrong" thing (as opinionated by someone on Twitter) it's always utter catastrophe.

I suppose I should be replying to the tweet instead of posting about it here..
Digital vigilantism averted for now.
How do you even know the risk is "very very very small"? Pfizer ran an abbreviated trial with just ~1200 kids in the trial arm. The group was so small they couldn't even reach a conclusion as to whether it was effective against symptomatic COVID. The idea that it will even help prevent your kids from transmitting it is pure assumption on your part (or, perhaps more accurately, a leap of faith).

I lived in CA my whole life, including the last 10 years in the Bay Area, before moving to Austin a year ago. I can’t for the life of me understand what you’re talking about.

I-35 is bad, that’s about it. The freeways around the rest of Austin are still moving even around rush hour. None of those hold a candle to the Bay Bridge on a Friday afternoon, not even remotely close to as bad.
Why would you start a project on a platform then build that product on a foundation of one of that platforms weaknesses instead of one of its strengths? This anecdote is not good evidence against the platform.
homesteads are capped at 10% increase in valuation.
City budgets are capped at 3.5% without a vote.

The largest share of property taxes is actually school districts which run roughly 50% of the property tax in austin. The city is 25% and the other 25% is the county, health district, and community college.

Tax rates float. If the valuations double, but the taxing entity budgets stay the same, then the tax rate will drop in half.

Rising valuations dont have much to do with the increase in taxes over time.
It's Austin.
I feel like you only need to read the comments below the article to remember why the media has no idea how to report on this. Apparently it is hard to teach people that vaccination could save their life, and that it gives vastly better outcomes than waiting to get COVID “naturally”. And yet we have vast amounts of data to show that.

Besides, why does it feel that many people have an end goal of ‘best antibodies without the benefit of a vaccine’ rather than, say, ‘actually enjoying a disease-free life’?

> I hadn't thought of writing a tail-recursive dumbsort, though I'm not sure this is really simpler (untested):

I meant something more like this:

void
dumbsort(int *p, size_t n)
{
int tmp;
for (size_t i = 1; i < n; i++) {
if (p[i] < p[i-1]) {
tmp = p[i];
p[i] = p[i-1];
p[i-1] = tmp;
return dumbsort(p, n);
}

The same as the original except it doesn't need to manipulate the loop variable.

In the assembly version, you replace wiping eax with a jump.

Arguably taxes are higher for newcomers. Yes rates are lower but purchase price is insane. But Native Sons of the Golden West pay pennies on the dollar in property tax. Old businesses to. It's a $30B per year tax cut to successful real estate investors. That's 3x the size of the NSF and several billion more than NASA.

This is the root of all California's problems. Underfunded schools, endless sprawl, state parks closing, crumbling infrastructure and rampant housing speculation. It's all because of Prop 13.
When someone explains something to me, and I go blank, what I have gotten in the habit of doing is to just produce what I think they want without worrying much at all if I have it correct, and then ask them to point at the first thing wrong with it.

Typically, with a report, I just say "give me one example, one row, that isn't right".

Once I have the boundary of my understanding pinpointed, it's fairly easy to infer a lot of complex details about what they want that are hard for them to articulate and for me to understand when described.

This may not be ideal, but it's more practical for me to build my own mental model with help than try to translate someone else's.

Source material, I dunno. It tends not to be up to date or relevant and I don't know where to focus.
Yes of course, I know that. I’m not even saying the investment in fusion is a bad idea. I’m just pointing out that actually our investment in it is enormous and very risky.

Very true. That's why I said social and economic policy doesn't _necessarily_ equate. There's a connection, but not 1:1.

Like all states, Texas wastes more than enough money for it be a consistent position to simultaneously support better health care while resisting higher taxes.
I'd imagine they don't always get to train on actual equipment. Sometimes there's classroom training where powerpoint could easily be used.
This is our experience too. We have 5 software engineers maintaining 3 mobile apps, 1 desktop app, 1 SDK product, and 1 web-app (Blazor) all with a shared C#/.NET code base that is bringing about $6M annually if you include the associated hardware product revenue. I’m not aware of many other tech stacks out there that can “natively” integrate with hardware/sensors and get that level of code sharing maintained by such a small team.
Performance per watt is a pretty decent measure (and I would argue really the only measure that matters - assuming it's possible to get it "fast enough", and with the exception of IoT type stuff where you probably only care about getting power consumption as low as possible because pretty much any amount of processing power is enough).

You still need to somewhat segment into low/medium/high power chips when comparing them though as it's generally not possible to just take a very high perf/watt low power part and scale up the same design with the same level of efficiency.
If I were a republican in tx I would be thinking about how to gerrymander this new population of blue voters.
And then, once finding the target, an explosive charge blows up in the drone to fire a single high speed projectile straight to the target, punching a hole clean through the forehead for a quick and humane death.

I wished this was a sarcastic comment but it wasn't. It's so sad we're years into this and people still have no sense of scale. Is it hubris? I'm not sure, but it's overwhelmingly sad.
We’ve given vaccines to tens of millions of 12-17 year olds.
I don’t know where in CA you were… But here in Oakland I have the option for 10G fiber (albeit the landlord only wired my actual apartment for 1G ethernet, but the fiber is like 50 feet from my door). Utilities are extremely low… Far lower than I had to deal with winter and summers in the US South. And at least so far, this year air quality hasn’t yet entered in to the toxic level.
Hey, I used to live in Texas, I care for that state a lot.

There was no shame or boast intended, and I struggle to see where it could be perceived in my comments.

I live in the Bay Area now, in no small part due to how that fine state is run.
Google and YouTube Ads: Addressing Climate Change Denial
Well, for all those hundreds of millions it will indeed be existential (and I have read that a 4C Earth could only be able to host ~1 billion people, so the deaths could be a lot more than "millions to hundreds of millions".) In any case, arguing about the technicalities of the word "existential" at this point denotes such a complete lack of empathy that it's not even worth it.
It should be ahead of Intel 4 ("4nm"). Samsung 5nm density is approximately 127M gates/mmsq on paper. Samsung 4nm will scale to around 0.75x area according to their China conference earlier this year, to a transistor density of around 168M gates/mmsq. They had another conference the other day detailing 3nm, which will scale down another 25%, to around 224M gates/mmsq.

Intel 4 was estimated to be up to 200M gates/mmsq. I don't think we have exact numbers since Intel only released numbers for their previous 10nm plan, which were heavily revised for Tigerlake iirc. I think Intel 3 is a variant of Intel 4 so 3GAA will presumably be similar to Intel 3.

edit: slides of the 3nm conference yesterday

Take breaks. Take off days. Check air quality.
Do you honestly view this as a partisan effort? There’s definitely a bipartisan interest in reining in “Big Tech,” though the rationales differ.

When a corporation begins to infringe on a government’s ability to manage its citizens you can be sure that there will be a concerted effort to limit those efforts.
This was the realization I came to when I booted up a NixOS VM to start building my configuration. I recently borked my Arch install and had to start from scratch. It took me about 4 hours to get my system back where I left it — all I brought with me were my dotfiles.

I just cannot imagine I would spend less than 4 hours figuring out NixOS and its DSL. Even if I setup a fresh OS twice a year I just don’t see it being worth my effort — beyond learning a cool new OS.

Arch works well for me and I like the package ecosystem / rolling releases.

Sorry but at this point it is hard to believe you are posting in good faith and not trolling. Even back in the Windows only days the runtime was free and there was free dev tools (VS C# Express). Mono was free too, and open source. I know no paying runtime and I've been using the language and tools as a daily driver for a decade.

It's been possible to build micro-services in ASP.net Core running on Linux (and in Docker containers) for the last 3 years very easily.
What a nightmare. How could we let it get to this point? People that have no direct interest in our well being are informing our worldview.
You seem to have very balanced view and thanks for the wisdom. I've always been a contrarian. So, when one party takes too much power including Big Tech and complete assault on freedom of speech, I shall vote for anything but them.

Just like Republican party that has lost its original core with anti-science and anti-truth crusade, the Democrats have injected identity politics and woke culture. Absolutely garbage, both sides.

Electrum, one of the most popular desktop Bitcoin wallets, has a server component which can use your Bitcoin public keys on a web server to process transactions. It generates a verified request for payment in BTC using your existing SSL keys. Bitcoin still is the most ubiquitous for payments, even from Ethereum (e.g. via renBTC) but the transaction fees are still prohibitive for smaller sums less than $20 unless you involve Lightning network which may become much less turnkey.

No homestead exemption. Roughly 3.1% tax rate. Northwest corner of Austin, in the 78717 zip code. Leander ISD if I recall correctly.

California taxes were affected by CA deduction, CA personal exemption, and 401k (which I didn't max out, and even without it I think the original claim still stands although just barely)
Moderna vaccine is not authorized for 12-17 olds in US. Has never been, so no need to restrict it.
In a previous life, I and a biz partner ran a web company on about 5 servers. We cabled the serial ports together in a daisy chain, used serial port consoles, and had software running on every system to access the ports. This way, if a system died, you just had to ssh into the system connected to it and you had access to the failed system's console. These were Supermicro servers, so the pre-boot screens and all that were also available. It came in very handy and saved us lots of trips to Hurricane Electric.
I think it's different from cash in the sense that Bitcoin requires you to have an working phone with an internet connection. That might not seem like much, but if you're some guy selling bananas by the side of the road mobile data may be a tough tradeoff with other expenses. More than 20% of El Salvador's population lives on less than $5.50 a day.

Trump's corona vaccines were just approved in the US in mid-August, 2021. (If you got vaccinated before then, thanks for being my personal guinea pig!)

Why would a Nobel get awarded to an unproven treatment?

We know about early side-effects, and every vaccine has been stopped temporarily. OSHA has been forbidden by the Biden administration from reporting employer reports of problems.

I'm interested in finding out what happens to women's reproduction systems after corona and vaccines. There are published papers confirming there's an impact, but not enough time has passed to quantify it.
While Xamarin has some pain points it definitely satisfies a market need for “native” cross platform development. My company uses it quite a bit.
With .NET MAUI on the horizon as the evolution of Xamarin it has a future. Although I do wonder if the Blazor (mobile bindings) might end up having the brighter future. Kind of seems like the back up plan to appeal more to the HTML/CSS web devs who don’t want to adopt/learn the XAML UI markup.
And how are you going to find these rare events when you do not use the vaccine?
If they used some special microsoft insider access to github to move these projects... that's gonna really harm trust in github. They really oughta make it clear that they did NOT do this, or make it clear how it can never happen again.
Possibly. It could prove that a dev knows what they’re doing. It might even eliminate the need for Leetcode style interview questions.
If your users expect a reasonable level of UX quality, you're likely better off giving a middleman his ounce of flesh.

You have the correct idea.

0.14 was the scientifically determined level of impairment. 0.08 is the number MADD paid for.
You misunderstood. I wasn’t saying money market funds are invulnerable. Failure of the Reserve Primary Fund caused the worst of the Great Financial Crisis.

I was saying 100% backing is the standard they’re regulated too and they published their backing in a very detailed way that anyone can check.

Tether doesn’t do this. They refuse to disclose their counterparties and they defined their own accounting standards where junk debt is valued at redemption value rather than market value
The main issue, at least for me, is that I simply cannot focus for 8 hours in a single day. If I was to work 2 hours a day for four days, I would likely get more done than if I "worked" 8 hours one day.

It's a fun experience to install MVS 3.8j (apparently 40 years old by now), using the Hyperion fork, to get a taste of how utterly different mainframe computing was (and still is).

If you've never dealt with mainframes, which is extremely likely after all, you will be massively taken aback about how different everything is. A lot of the most fundamental terms you are used to, like "file" or "directory", simply don't exist. Some have equivalents with other names, but even if they do they're often so different that you barely recognize them at all... It's like finding a computer on an alien planet.

Interestingly, the later "midrange" AS/400 (or maybe also its predecessor System/36 which I don't know about) is also completely different from mainstream computing, but in something that I'd describe as the opposite way of how MVS is different.

While MVS lets you feel the bare metal at every turn (making such simple things as using the closest thing to a file, a "dataset", sometimes rather bizarre), AS/400 does the opposite and abstracts everything away. Going as far as having a 128bit unified address space, which addresses both RAM and hard disk storage and everything in between...
ToastUI editor. Easy to embed, supports Markdown and WYSIWYG.
I'm going to disagree with your timescale, mainly in the use of 'web' rather than 'internet'. The 'internet', which set the foundation for the 'web' started its existence in the 70's, and the 'web' wasn't really invented until the late 80's / early 90's.

Memory of time passing seemingly gets very compressed the further back you go.

Additionally, Bitcoin is an attempt at disrupting elements of the financial world (and cryptocurrencies as-a-whole are going after ALL of finance, not just elements of it). This is _the most powerful and well-funded aspect of modern civilisation_, so there's going to be severe resistance (to put it mildly) to any threat.

It's also difficult to understand the concepts that are foundational to cryptocurrencies, and the average persons eyes glaze over (personal terminology my wife uses when I try to explain technologically difficult things that she really has no interest in) at the slightest dip into its technicalities.

Better examples may be smart phones, but mobiles have been around since the mid-80's at least (that suitcase-sized portable phone in Lethal Weapon), and laptops are of a similar vintage (my argument being that smart phones are a combination of these two existing technologies).

Smart phones also have that immediate-dopamine-hit working for their adoption rate whilst Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are a 'longer game' (arguably you could say those already on the 'inside' for crypto get the dopamine hit of profit or potential riches - rightly or wrongly, healthily or otherwise).

Think of cryptocurrency as building a brand new Central Banking and Wall Street infrastructure. 13 years is still breast-feeding against that behemoth.
