I bought my first car before I even had a driver's license... It cost $250 and needed a rebuilt engine. (IL)
A short list of things that save me time:

Databases:

use AuroraDB on AWS. Pros: no server maintenance, no backups, no maintenance at all really. Automatic snapshopts set to 30 days. I back it up once a week to an S3 bucket for longer term storage. That S3 bucket is "aws s3 sync" to a local drive on a debian machine that has a tape drive in it. I do the tape backups just after the weekly DB backup.

Code deployment: For static assets I use GitHub actions. For the containerised servers I haven't migrated to GitHub actions yet (.NET Core app running in an Ubuntu container) but since the system is usually deployed with the AWS docker tools that should be easy to automate. Lambda functions just use the AWS dotnet command line tools.

This is all much easier when you use a debian machine as your main dev/integration box. You can use WSL2 as a reasonable substitute. The command line AWS and dotnet tools are much nicer in a unix shell as you can do things like use a Makefile or a shell script to capture the more complicated actions. PowerShell is an abomination.

No, they aren't.

CA has announced that it will have a school student vaccine mandate, once vaccines for children are fully approved, and not earlier than next school year in any case.
I want to add to your comment, that the problem with Walgreens security in SF is well known, far before the issues with the changes in the law took front and center. I actually had a conversation with a friend about how bad their security was back in 2007. The issue is purely one of store layout and design. They could easily fix that and solve most of the problem.
> They could have had an infomercial showing people the most effective cloth mask designs they could sew at home.

In fact, eventually they did something like this. The Surgeon General of the United States produced a video showing how one could make a quick-and-dirty mask with a t-shirt and rubber bands... dated April 4 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI1GxNjAjlw
I said several time in this discussion that waste heat sources are typically ~600C with flow rates of ~80-100kg/s. Do the math and that's about 100MW of energy in a stack. Off the shelf Organic Rankine Cycle engines can convert heat energy at that temperature at about 20% efficiency.

Of course that varies by ambient temperature and pressure, but not significantly for the purposes of this discussion. A good rule of thumb is that for a given delta-T, current OTC tech can get you about half of Carnot efficiency at the optimal spot on the cost-efficiency curve.

I wouldn't know how to fix a laptop if you offered me a yacht to do it. What I asked about was not waste heat to power tech, but fusion power economics, which I know nothing about.

You don't seem nice.
The need to achieve immune escape can also pressure the virus to evolve antigenically which can promote transmissibility through escape, while impairing ACE2 binding or endocytosis compared to currently circulating variants.

So if the ancestral strain + variants all cannot spread epidemically any more due to the build up of immunity in the population, then a strain which achieves immune escape and an R0 of > 1.0 would be favored even though the virus might be much less "fit" and less virulent in a totally naive population.

Clearly though the major adaptation is going to be on the human side with most of the population eventually acquiring T-cells, which will greatly decrease the virulence going forwards.
Burning natural gas creates heat, which is used to drive turbines and generate power. I see no reason why the heat to electricity side of a fusion power plant would be any more expensive, assuming we manage to bootstrap economy of scale.
Which is what makes what happened with Marek's disease so interesting.
The SF police, nor any significant amount of police nationwide, have been "defunded"

Also, no law was put on the books that entails the negligence SF PD is acting with. They're just acting like dicks because they have more rights than just about all of society (military members and politicians included) and qualified immunity.

Turns out giving a group qualified immunity will turn them into gigantic power hungry douchebags.
Even as a former ESL instructor, I'm rather disdainful of statements such as these, as if language is some "well defined codified construct" as opposed to being a fluid means of communication that continually evolves to meet cultural needs.

It's like the word peruse, it traditionally meant "to look over something in great detail", yet you'll find the majority of people use it to mean "to look over some thing in a cursory fashion." So for all intents and purposes, that is the new de facto definition of the word.

Nope, this is fake news. You should learn more about your DA Chesa Boudin. He rarely brings cases to trial, fired a bunch of prosecutors and 30 others have left, and removed cash bail which puts repeat offenders right back on the street after arrest.
I don't know that they're trying to get away with anything. From reading some of the linked blog posts and issues, it sounds like some people involved in the management of the DNF effectively consider all projects beneath the DNF umbrella to be theirs to administer and change as they see fit.

And it sounds like the maintainers, rightfully, are wary about continuing with the DNF particularly because they haven't been consulted in years.
their launch is not just around the corner -- unless you count a barely-functional developer device as launching, and a suitable replacement for the Remarkable 2.

I don't know why this other person is claiming that altering your driving based on what's happening on the road is a bad thing. Not adapting to the conditions is how many crashes happen in the first place.

All that other stuff in this thread about safer road design is really about removing the need to think about how to drive. So instead of making it so drivers need to give cyclists room, safe road design would just give them that room. But in the absence of those safer designs, people just need to drive more safely.

We will never know without an antibody testing. It can be under acceptable levels after having been vaccinated, too.

We have done such studies before with regarding to the hepatitis B vaccine. Most nursing students had no immunity against it after having received two doses of the vaccine.

I think antibody levels should be tied to the mandates. For what it is worth, I am against such mandates.
Every commit references every file. If you change the content of an old commit you would only affect people who check out the old commit. So this is utterly pointless and not what someone would do.

Instead what you would do is attempt to make a file-object that has a certain SHA1 hash identifying it, and a colliding file-object that has the same SHA1 hash. Then you are free to give people who clone the repository different file contents depending on when/who/how someone requests it (if the file content is hosted on github, how to change the file object identified by a given SHA1 hash is an additional hurdle since it's assumed to be immutable and indefinitely cacheable; if you control the host yourself you can just change it whenever you like).

There's more to immunity than antibodies.
To be fair, with policies like mandating masking outside, or banning outdoor activities long after it was known there virtually no outdoor transmission, or forcing vaccinations on people who had covid already, or deafening silence on any health improving measures people can take (did we really need studies showing exercise improves covid outcomes? well we have them now, after 2 years passed), or no mitigation of aerosol transmission (we have dentists installing HEPA filters, and nothing in hospitals), it is really easy to play right into the hands of conspiracy theorists...
Keep these mysterious friction reducers the fuck away from my food.

I had no idea about this previously but your comment is causing more concern to me than the GP's.
...what are you even talking about with "you can't prove a negative?"

The link I provided "is an electronic vaccination record drawn from the data stored in the California immunization registry."

It doesn't accept user submissions; it only accepts data from recognized health organizations. The website allows you to put in your name and birthdate and get a QR code that can be scanned and will take you back to the website, showing dates you were vaccinated. It requires someone confirming that the QR code is directing them to the correct website, and confirm name and birthdate, but that's far more available to actually check than a PCR test.

Meaning no need to rely on easily faked vaccination cards; you instead ask for a QR code, scan it, and confirm it took you to the government site, with a name and birthdate that matches some government issued picture ID. Still 'beatable', if you have good fake ID for a person who has been vaccinated, but just as good in 'security' as relying on a PCR test (since it's still ultimately pulling from a publicly readable, only privately writeable DB), and probably a better assertion than "PCR test", since it can work for everyone, and tells you the date of vaccination (whereas date of antibodies being detected doesn't tell you anything about whether they still have natural immunity now).
It doesn't take any money or time. Google's break of SHA-1 was fully reusable. So long as committing a PDF to the repo counts, there's a script that will trivially concat two PDFs in such a way as that they each render to their original (different) contents, but both have the same SHA-1 hash. Put in a repo and `git add foo.pdf` and you're done.
In case you weren't aware, the origin of the term FUD is from Slashdot and stands for "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt", usually in opposition to facts and indicating an agenda by the commenter. Sounds like an attack on my character rather than the argument itself, which is indeed Ad Hominem. And there was nothing indicating unfounded fear, uncertainty, or doubt in my comments. When probed for sources, I provided them, reputable ones at that.

When I say "beware saying that outloud", it's a pointer to the nature of discussion on covid, which should be obvious to anyone paying attention - and that is that if you counter a prevailing or official narrative, you will be belittled and brushed aside, often without any conclusive data to back it up. The irony is thick.

> suddenly everyone who has a cough thinks they don't need to get vaccinated.

But we can do testing.

For the record:

> Earlier estimates that 80% of infections are asymptomatic were too high and have since been revised down to between 17% and 20% of people with infections.[1]

> It’s also unclear to what extent people with no symptoms transmit SARS-CoV-2. The only test for live virus is viral culture. PCR and lateral flow tests do not distinguish live virus. No test of infection or infectiousness is currently available for routine use.678 As things stand, a person who tests positive with any kind of test may or may not have an active infection with live virus, and may or may not be infectious.[1]

I mentioned sleep, exercise, and a healthy diet and IMO they're all connected. Nowhere did I mention anything about weight. But since we're on the topic now, I disagree with BMI alone as the single indicator of health. Canada seems to be moving in that direction as well. I try to eat healthy myself, but restaurants borderline conspire against that because healthy dishes just don't sell as well as those California Cream Sauce Specials with limitless bread.

Yeah, I do still think Coinbase is the most convenient fiat gateway for US crypto exchanges (not considering their issues with support).

FWIW though, after one wire transfer on Gemini they will let you ACH transfer back and forth with the account you wired from. It works pretty well. (However, watch out for fees by using their Gemini ActiveTrader interface, similar to using Coinbase Pro vs Coinbase).

You can also use Plaid to link a bank account on Binance US, but it seemed buggy when I tried it. However, if that worked it would also allow ACH deposits and withdrawals.

I haven't used FTX US, but it looks like they also have Plaid integration that should support ACH deposits and withdrawals.

Wire transfers do seem to be the best option for deposits and withdrawals on Kraken. Some other options, including ACH, are available via their Buy Crypto widget (but it has higher fees, and apparently you can't withdrawal later via ACH).

Anyway, if you want another fiat gateway that supports ACH deposits and withdrawals, and you're fine doing one wire to authorize a bank account, maybe check out Gemini.

I know people like to force things into patterns, and this seems like one of those cases.

The information revolution started with the invention of paper in China, combined with movable type, and the screw press. Gutenberg is one key figure in this story, but not the only one, as it is still ongoing.

The rapid spread and democratization of publishing resulted in books such as Gregorius Agricola's "De Re Metallica", one of the first practical handbooks on the mining, refining, and crafting of metals.

This along with the freedom of inquiry that resulted from the fracturing of the Holy Roman Empire, and the financial innovations from the Dutch and others, led to a new entrepreneurial spirit.

The threads from this point are diverse, and can be woven into an almost infinite number of tapestries, of course Jacquard's idea to weave using data stored on a chain of linked cards would go on to be another theme.

Those cards became the basis of Hollerith cards, and the true industrialized information explosion of the 1890s.

... and you see how it keeps going, and going... it's all one revolution, the information revolution ... and we're nowhere near done yet.
That is indeed a fairly routine treatment for people with primary immunodeficiency. One of the ways they are diagnosed is inability to develop antibodies after a vaccine challenge.

Those people receive an infusion of human antibodies purified from donated blood (human immunoglobulins) every few weeks. It's been in use for several decades.

I haven’t thought of net send in years. Circa 2000 I worked at Cisco and added some javascript to my profile in the corporate directory that sent me a net send message with the hostname of the computer that viewed my profile. At that time the hostname usually included the employees username, so I had a nice heads up that somebody was looking me up.

I should have left it at that, but Ingot cheeky and also did a net send back to the origin saying something like “thanks for your interest in onionisafruit”. That got escalated and I was threatened with disciplinary action. It didn’t occur to IT that they shouldn’t allow arbitrary script tags in user profiles. The best response was just to threaten the people who were creative with what they were given.
This doesn't really address the problems OP brought up... like centralized authority, rebuilding for rebuilding's sake, and priorities interrupted because of sporadically imposed deadlines from other teams... OP mentions a timeline for fixing another critical issue was delayed because of an immediate requirement for upgrading a dependency. I can see how that could be frustrating, especially if not communicated with due-notice ahead of sprint/agile planning.

Just because OP is payed well doesn't mean they can't point out frustrations borne out of what they view as inefficient process.
A thorough debunking of this protocol from The Lancet: https://sci-hub.se/downloads/2020-04-23/63/10.1016@S1474-442...

A few quotes:

> Despite the certainty inferred by the book’s subtitle, there is no published study that tests or proves the hypothesis that the Bredesen protocol can prevent and reverse cognitive decline.

> Readers are informed that participants with subjective cognitive impairment or mild cognitive impairment are included in the studies; however, both conditions can have causes unrelated to neurodegenerative processes. These studies are therefore not targeting a common underlying neuropathological process of Alzheimer’s disease, as the papers suggest.

> Readers might not be aware that the three case series evaluating the Bredesen protocol appear in journals considered by some to be predatory open access journals. [...] The journal Aging, where the first two articles were published, appears on the Beall’s list of potential, possible, or probable predatory open access journals [...]

> it is notable that the Bredesen protocol has been made commercially available; however, the authors do not disclose any conflicts of interest in their scientific reports.

I wish they said what the timescales they were projecting over are; without that, the images aren't really useful except to convince people that didn't need convincing in the first place. Even a moderately skeptical person is likely to be turned off by non-specific alarmism. ("This building will be underwater in the future" is less helpful than "this building will be underwater if not protected due to X feet of sea level rise projected by 20YZ".)

However, sea level rise may well be a serious problem even in the relatively near term. Climate.gov projects 1 meter of sea rise by about 2050 in the worst case and about 2100 in a moderate-emissions scenario. I don't know how many of those buildings are in low-lying areas that would be affected by 1 meter of rise, but I figure most of those buildings are going to still be around. Climate.gov doesn't project further than 2100, but it's pretty clear from the graph that the long-term trends out to 2200 and 2300 and so on are probably not good.

Current carbon capture tech charges about $500/ton (but this number is bound to get lower) of CO2, given the CO2 produced per KWh of Natural gas is 0.41kg/KWh, that adds about $0.20 per KWh to your electricity bill. Where I’m from, our mostly natural gas electric company charges $0.10/kwh. So adding $0.20 does indeed do more than double it (for now).
