I'd just be careful with that. To be clear: I'm a huge fan of vaccine mandates. I'm less sure about charging people with crimes related to public health.

For reference: HIV/AIDS caused 4.7 deaths per 100K people with the virus in 2017.

Covid has caused 216.36 deaths per 100K of the total population in the US

Should anyone who breaks quarantine after testing positive be charged with a felony? Eh. Having a felony on your record is extremely serious.

Should someone be able to sue the person who infected them for all healthcare costs related to HIV going forward on the other hand? Absolutely.
I'm sorry -- I can see you are deeply affected by this for some reason. So I apologize. The problem is with me obviously. I had some questions about about the POV of the article and none of those questions reflect negatively on you. It's true I don't know who you are-- but that is not important. I hope we can make your opinion and experience feel respected and whatever I said about this topic was really just me bantering on a personal level. Let's just accept our differences and move on to have a great day :)
This is so damn frustrating:

Certain group of politicians: "Government never works and should be minimized!"

Same group of politicians: Completely kneecaps management and/or funding that would be needed to actually ensure government program works.

Also same group of politicians: "See, government programs never work!"
yep. Covers a bunch of other stuff too but it does cover that risk.
Meh. Other people here have pointed out it sends email to the people in the GitHub Enterprise. So, they probably missed a place to add auditing.

To that point, I've had GitHub people tell me they never imagined the feature I used to get out of GitHub Enterprise to be used that way. I got lots of emails (since I owned the target organization) but maybe the GitHub Enterprise did not?

On the surface this might seem like it would increase risky behavior by infected individuals, but there's a rational reason for this law. It was advocated by epidemiologists for good reason: when someone could be criminally liable for said exposure, they'll absolutely stonewall public health officials who are trying to contact trace exposures. Adding criminal liability to the mix simply doesn't result in the desired outcome of stopping the spread of the disease.

Good to read I am not the only one. Been depressed for a few months now and HOTS (especially ARAM, which is really fast-paced) helps me on the bad days to put my mind on ease.

>> During December 14, 2020–August 14, 2021, full vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines was 80% effective in preventing RT-PCR–confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection

You conveniently omitted the end of the sentence you quoted. The full sentence is "During December 14, 2020–August 14, 2021, full vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines was 80% effective in preventing RT-PCR–confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection among frontline workers." Frontline health workers are at elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19, so it's reasonable that more of them would contract the virus, even with an effective vaccine.

Did you intentionally misrepresent the results of the study by leaving this part out or was this just a careless omission?
People all know lambdas are expressions only, it's not a biggie really. In all honesty you rarely inline complex lambdas with all you mentioned, it would become hard to read or debug.

It’s not highly illogical. The law aligns with the modern experience of HIV treatment which is that it can be managed such that there is negligible risk of transmission. Furthermore, intentionally transmitting HIV is still illegal. Finally, HIV had been treated unlike other dangerous, communicable diseases which can’t be cured with respect to criminal penalty. The law brings it to parity (misdemeanor, not felony).
Didn't know about this case, thanks.

Interesting though why my comment is downvoted. For maybe accusing someone in using alt right language or for knowing about the existence of such language and what its abbreviations mean? People, I'm not even american, I don't fight in this war!
The way to show I am in error with you (or the parent) agreeing with the radical Bailey of critical social justice, such as the DEI initiatives true position in its Bailey, would be to say "I do not believe that people are defined by group identity" and "I think redistributing resources and position based upon group identity is wrong". Neither of you have done that.

Do you (or the parent) believe that "people are not defined by group identity" and that "redistributing resources and position based upon group identity is wrong"?

A way to show that I am in error about the whistleblower proposing Critical Social Justice activism would be to show that the links I provided showing the whistleblower calling for censoring "hate speech", her call for a ministry of truth, her association with CSJ, and the suspicious political ties of her whistleblowing being wrong. These are not moderate positions.
Nature has a never-ending supply of dangerous bugs to vaccinate against.

One of the big benefits of the mRNA technology behind the covid 19 vaccine was the ability to rapidly develop, produce, and deploy it.

Plus, people will lose confidence if the damn thing doesn't work. The optimal business strategy here is to demonstrate how effective this technology is, so that they continue to get contracts/grants to develop future vaccines.
I just want to point out for any poor soul who may find themselves on the other end of a request to implement an FTP feature and who may not know this:

FTP is plain text file transfer protocol, there's not really any good reason to use it anymore IMHO

FTPS is an extension to FTP to support SSL/TLS

SFTP is "Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol" (e.g. over SSH)

We had a project once where the customer asked us to use "SFTP" to manage some critical files. This was handled in-app, we added the functionality, did our testing and moved on.

Later when we did integration testing with their system we discovered that what the customer actually meant was to ask us for "FTPS" and we had to rip out the SFTP library with FTPS stuff.

Something similar _almost_ happened a couple of years later in another project (due to miscommunication by someone doing requirements gathering) and this time we caught it early.

I wonder if there are any actual free speech services out there: Would any of them tolerate being swamped (as in 90%+ of the content) with insults hurled at their owners and operators?

My guess would be that there's already a limit to their tolerance. And from there, it's really a matter of seeing what kind of content they _do_ tolerate.

A site full of extreme* right wing stuff: That site is an extreme right wing site. If it is indeed "free speech" (which isn't demonstrated yet), that's merely coincidental, but it's not its defining property.

* To adopt hunterb123's preferred phrasing, because for them extremism apparently only begins when people start to draft assassination plans, not just daydreaming about it. I don't care about that particular semantic game, so I'll be as compatible as possible on this thread.

They can. The US mandate allows unvaccinated workers to either get vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.

> Is this for real?

Yes. Bitcoins are not fungible. If they've been tainted by criminal transactions, they might as well be worthless.

There are better coins out there that do not have this problem. Monero, for example.

> Do merchants really rely on some opaque third-party service to determine which accounts are able to pay?

Not if they use Monero where transaction details are simply not made public. Even if they managed to blacklist some Monero addresses, it wouldn't matter since you can just make more addresses.

> Is this third-party able to essentially blacklist aka unbank accounts at their will, without a legal appeal process?

Yeah. The US treasury will place some address into a database and everyone holding bitcoins that passed through that address will instantly be made poorer.

https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.txt

Monero is apparently able to subvert these sanctions. The link above also shows the US treasury failing to sanction a Monero address.

It can't. Bitcoin is a failure. The fact it's still number one in the market is proof of how irrational it is.
Even though there is controversy around his ideas, I have an armchair theory about why this study yielded plausibly successful results, and it's that Maslow's "peak experiences [0] provides a framework for it.

The armchair premise is that we naturally orient our identity and sense of self according to memorable experiences, and as a consequence, our most intense experiences (good or bad) tend to become a constant reference point for who are believe we are.

High and low watermarks in our life become defining to an identity, which our ego then adopts and does its job to defend it (the self) from all threats. You can "become," the trauma, and your sense of self, via the mechanism of ego, protects the integrity of that identity against all potential threats to it - even though the experience isn't you. Video games in this study enabled a kind of re-basing of identity from the experimental trauma by providing an equivalent or greater intense experience which memory and identity can rebind to. It's also possibly why psychedelics are thought to "cure" depression, because by using an intense experience to rebase your identity on memories other than the negative ones, you in-effect redirect your ego to protect the right thing about your true self instead of it reinforcing the negative experience that had substituted itself into your identity because it was so intense.

Utter armchair mind hacking, but it's testable. We can treat the ego as a kind of clutch mechanism where you can disengage it to switch gears, and re-engage it to apply the will of self. Intensity disengages it.

If you rethink depression as a kind of mental autoimmune disorder where the defense mechanism for your sense of self (ego) turns its aggression inward, a super intense experience can unbind the ego from that identity long enough for your true self to re-establish its primacy. Suicidal ideation in that framework is a craving for that level of replacement intensity, and not necessarily death itself, just something intense enough to release your ego long enough to switch gears.

Jumping out of a plane, graduating university, having a kid, winning an award, are all examples of positive peak experiences people remember as reference points to locate their sense of self.

What I'm suggesting is the implied underlying mechanism behind the study could be applied more generally to developing more controlled peak experiences that "blow your mind," in a way that dislodges the ego defence long enough that you can overpower a traumatic memory with a current more intense one, so when your ego re-establishes itself, it is protecting the integrity of the new experience as a rebased identity.

Crankery, probably, but if you do find a way to blow your mind and it improves your outlook, video games are fun, but I think we need to find more things that really blow minds.

> it would be the US Weapon Industry that were causing the wars.

Is that out of the realm of possibility? The neocons might be the ones dragging the US into needless conflicts in the name of spreading the religion of "democracy," but I don't see why the weapons industry would be against these misadventures.

> Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.

> Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.

> This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence--economic, political, even spiritual---is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

> In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

I decided to build Uproot after purchasing a Mikrotik router and faced the daunting task of transferring many static leases (i.e., DHCP Reservations) over to the new router from my old DD-Wrt router.

Uproot supports the following formats:

* DD-WRT
* Mikrotik RouterOS
* OPNSense
* OpenWrt
* pfSense
* json
* csv

Binaries are provided for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The github readme linked in the title provides detailed instructions on usage, as well as importing and exporting to various formats.

Comments and suggestions welcome! Thank you!
It will, just like in Ireland. That's the beauty of this deal. It's blackmail basically. If the US does not pass it, other countries will tax the difference even on US profits (company just needs to have presence in the EU). US would be shooting itself in the foot, especially being the one to propose it originally. Also, I am pretty US is already above 15% corporate tax rate.

I started in the 80s and my first few cars were from 70s or early 80s. Back then most engines lasted around 100000km and cars rusted pretty badly after 10 years. That has improved enormously since then. Engine management has also become more reliable. Carburetors needed constant maintenance once they got older, so did the ignition systems back then.
How feasible is it to store raw content in the Git content-addressable-store (CAS)? Git blobs are Zlib compressed.

To my knowledge, they don't even have binocular vision. For several angles there is only one camera. Even where there are multiple cameras, they are clustered together and so of limited use for binocular vision. It seems there are multiple cameras to improve range and FoV rather than depth perception.

So it's like a small animal with one eye closed.
You either approach it from the social perspective, or the utilitarian perspective. From the social perspective, the goal is building a community. To build a community, people need to be held accountable for antisocial behavior. The technology is secondary.

Most of the times leftist communities split off from mainstream platforms, it is because the platforms either enable rampant antisocial behavior, limit the community's autonomy in deciding how to deal with it, or its just plain censorship.

The libertarians see it as a utilitarian problem. Banning any content or behavior is beyond the pale, and they try to build out their technology to ensure this "marketplace of ideas" prevails. They consider themselves rugged individualists, so the goal of building a community is an afterthought.
Amazon's Airflow offering sucks really hard. As in many services, they made an awful job at designing a good UX and hiding the product's complexity from their users.

Astronomer is cool, but expensive and they won't accept monthly billing. Also, it's even more expensive if you need DAGS to access things within a VPC.

The reason is we (quite reasonably) don't want to sign up to something and then have the goalposts shifted in a few years such that the minimum rate is increased again.

I never said that. I, for one, am not a free speech absolutist, and I think those that pretend they are, are children of the Facebook era of online discourse. I am iterating once again, that Reddit has clear rules and those rules have largely been executed without political bias. If your favorite subreddit got banned, they were very likely violating those rules.
