There's no good out-of-the-box privacy-friendly phone, but you can install a friendly OS on some devices.

Besides the article-mentioned /e/OS, there's also CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS is seen as the top choice for tightest security, but also comes with the most downsides, being less compatibility with all your favorite apps, slower performance, lack of JIT compilation abilities (because it's unsafe), and, ironically, is completely limited to Google Pixel devices, which happen to have a black box "Titan" security chip that Google promised to open up but never did.

Why they think this unknown chip somehow makes the device more secure, I'll never know.
Ah, just out of warranty... too bad, really! But do not despair, you could probably fix it if you set your mind to it, or make one working one out of two broken ones, assuming you can find another broken one.

> YouTube with its long form videos, of published peer reviewed papers

Are we talking about the same youtube? Sure, most videos are 10/15 minutes long, because the algorithm favors them, but it's 15 minutes of video for 3 minutes of content at most. And videos about published, peer reviewed papers? These things are very rare. That's not even considering the fact that these published, peer reviewed papers may be about unreproducible experiments or stuff like that.
I agree in principle.

The real answer for why most do not do this is that IT-organisations are already under-dimensioned and over-burdened and it’s cheaper to maintain a small set of laptop models (which most likely are bought with some sort of support contract) than it is to assemble and support desktop computers.

It’s probably model by model. My brother inkjet was just as bad as a hp. Wouldnt print black if color was low, error codes from generic ink.

Using Louisiana from the article, 90% of the waste was from started vials that weren't finished before they expired from being initially punctured (starts a countdown for safety/effectiveness reasons). We could overnight those to airports in other countries and then, somehow, quickly transport them (while refrigerated) to remote areas. Yeah, that would totally show up with enough time to still be useful.

Or, hear me out, we could make sure other countries get doses straight from production sources instead of getting the just-about-to-expire doses left over from the US.
It's nicely done but unfortunately it would still be faster to type something in a search engine and check the result.

I think it could improved by adding a free search text box, and maybe by not having a second dropdown list. Instead of making the user select something (sometimes you might no even be sure what to select), display all the options directly - since it's just one line of text anyway it won't take much space.
It's called Munchausens syndrome. Just found an article by the UK NHS but it's just wanting pity or comfort. It's just a mental disorder, but I'm sure during adolescence, you could almost argue that it's a temporal mental disorder that dissipates as you age. It's very similar to latching on to an identity to make yourself special.

That's weird. Most people live in low income countries, if 6 billions doses have been administrated, that's about half the world with 2 doses.

There is no expectation of privacy in public in the Uk either, it’s perfectly legal to take photos/videos of strangers in public. However in this case, I think the microphones where picking up conversations from private gardens and the camera could see over the fence (which usually have a height limit and can’t easily be raised).

I think you’d also have issues if you had a camera pointed into someone’s garden in the US

I think understanding/explaining what "fear of God" means is kind of hard to explain in the postmodern world. It's partly recognizing that to know God is to fear God, but that also is not that great of an explanation. There's another verse about walking humbly with thy God. That may be a better more modern verse to pick I'd say.

I could not agree more. Most people, IMO, are workflow junkies! It doesn't matter how good/bad/ugly the tool is; if it works, it stays forever! And git is a perfect example of a tool that is complex, but survives because it became the gold-standard for FOSS.

Having said that, wouldn't you agree that same recipe-book approach is also true for traditional system configuration/administration?

The storage conditions are not unknown. There is documentation on every lot to guarantee that they were stored in the proper conditions and to evaluate how they should be stored going forwards.

There is also no reason to fly to these locations. There is already the logistic capacity to ship in the proper conditions between these locations and a few central hubs. It just has to be run in reverse. It hasn't been done for hundreds of locations because few countries are as big as the US, but it has been done on a smaller scale by less capable actors.

I'm not sure whether to feel bad about this. Because I too did that. My wife and I even got twice as much as low-income people were meant to get.

I looked at why, and: The law should apply equally to everyone, so "my" tax break is available to everyone (who buys or renovates a house or flat), and the party that was in government only considered the happy case. "What unintended consequences might this have if someone runs it on other input?" is a question they didn't ask.

I've seen other cases since (that I didn't look carefully into) that seem similar... A lot of bad tax law may be due to happy-path thinking.

> Idk, I just watched the house financial services meetings with JPOW and he kept saying "no for sure we pretty much all agree inflation will be transitory".

Your quote states quite clearly that inflation was indeed expected.

At most, the claim was that the impact on inflation would not be permanent, which is a blatant truism. Nevertheless, that is not OP's claim.

You're late to that particular party. This has been a trend that started somewhere in the mid-90's and it's getting worse every day.

Every manufacturer the world over is right now wondering how they can turn their one-time sales into a recurring revenue stream.

Case in point: the Bosch e-bikes now offer a 'Bosch account' to supposedly access premium features on the bikes which in a sane world would be included in the purchase price and which really do not require an online account or service to begin with.
SPAs can be linked via url fragments 'www.mysite.io/#/fragment1/subfragment/id'

So, it is not a technical limitation of SPA.
That's not how electricity markets work such as the CAISO market.

Generators bid in their short run marginal cost for energy and the cost to provide certain reserve services and the unit commitment and economic dispatch algorithms choose which resources to turn on and what level they run at based on some cost minimization function.

Before markets, the incumbent utility would run all their nukes and coal as base load. Now with regional markets you have lots of utilities and private entities competing. Once massive amounts of cheap renewables (armed with subsidies to boot) entered the supply mix, it pushed out the most expensive generation to where instead of running ~24/7, they began running far less. Go look at any nuke plants capacity factor (percentage of the year running) in the US by year (you can Google it). You'll see a rather sharp drop. It can only go so low before the plant has to be retired as the cost to run it is greater than the break even point. CAISO operators obviously don't want that, but absent some kind of side payment from the state (unpopular with economists), it's the inevitable outcome.

I just wanted to make the distinction that the entity running the market and making sure the grid doesn't blackout usually doesn't make any decisions regarding what the rate payers at the retail level pay for. Even if they know a plant is required for reliability, it's a difficult process to figure out how to accommodate the plant outside the market. It could be argued that these markets in the US need to figure out how to better quantify the risk from losing these nukes and reflect that as part of the price (as well as other technologies). So far that hasn't occurred. Some areas have long-term capacity markets (example: PJM), but California does not (I don't think). Even then, the capacity markets have had many issues.

> Personally I think this comment will contribute to treatment hesitation

You're right; I want to make sure to say that people should never, ever just decide to "live with" whatever ails them. There's solutions, and 99% of the time the price is worth paying. Exhaust your options but never "settle" for "this is just how my life will always be", whatever works, works. I have psychiatrists in my family so I know for a fact that psychotropics can turn someone's whole life around, durably, and do a 360° on their quality of life; and sometimes have their lives literally saved. I don't want anyone reading this to think I'm on the "antipsychiatry" side of things.

I was approaching this from a "medical technology" PoV, hoping that there would be more effective, permanent treatments by now, but I hope if there are any patients or future patients reading this, that they don't write this off if nothing else worked. Don't necessarily trust every doctor (if they give you treatments that don't work or don't listen properly to your symptoms) but do listen to your doctor once you find a good one, which there are a lot of.

I was using the "playing around" language out of the frustration that everyone who does have chronic illness that doctors have been unable to address (even with experimental treatments), knows. But it's very important people don't throw out the baby with the bathwater, and even more important to do whatever it takes to become unencumbered by whatever problem they have.

I can't edit my comment above anymore, but I just want to say, if you have a chronic condition, you seriously can't imagine how much better your life will be once you get it under control. Trust the process, you can find solutions no matter how hopeless it feels.

‘Managing Data Is a Nightmare Keeping data in-sync across microservices can be challenging.’
Leaving aside the debate over whether micro services vs monolith is appropriate for your org, this shows me you are thinking about the problem wrong. You shouldn’t have to keep data ‘in sync’ because your domains should be defined in such a way that it doesn’t have to be. In a loosely coupled, event driven system each domain only needs to know information relevant to the business functionality it manages - and in event sourced model even within the domain you have eventual consistency.

In a micro services environment the concept of the ‘global system”
state and how the system behaves end-to-end shouldn’t even be something it’s that useful to have to think about and you should start thinking in more local terms about the business functionality you care about.
As a previous goldsmith, I'd say it's the materials used (gold/platinum over silver) and the time one puts into a piece. Gold is easier to work with than silver as you don't have to worry about fire-scale and it's more malleable, so if you're able to produce a piece in silver, or stainless steel for that matter, then making the same piece in gold just comes down to investing more in your materials (~$1,8000 vs $30 an oz for gold vs. silver) for each piece. After that the time, embellishments are just more time invested with the piece.
Depends on your field. If you have a CS related degree getting a tenure track position at a university in the US is not hard (if you're good), there are always openings. At my institution, we run a search every semester for multiple candidates, and can't attract enough good ones because they all get snatched up by big fat tech salaries.

American society in a nutshell. Need to drive 20 min to reach civilization so instead you end up buying inkjet printers that are likely end up in the trash every year due to their low quality production and because the corporation is scamming you with overpriced cartridges.
Somehow or another, the US has to be the bad guy. If they don't donate vaccines, they're letting other countries fend for themselves. If they donate vaccines, they should have let other countries pay for them.

There's plenty of legitimate criticism for the US government; I'm not sure why people feel the need to invent more.
> No it hasn’t. Most US public debt is held domestically (while I’m not sure on the specifics, I think it’s about 80%).

You aren't contradicting anything I said here. Most debt is domestic, but what matters is the external debt and it will dry up, and when it does USA will no longer be able to import way more than it exports. And imports/exports affects everything else in the economy, so altering massively as is bound to happen would have huge consequences.

I caved earlier this year and got an M1 MacBook Air, $1000 (for the 16gb of ram model) and it’s significantly faster than my (2 year old but much more expensive) thinkpad, it doesn’t have a touchscreen but meets every other requirement you have, and you can now put Linux on it and it works pretty great, and will only improve as marcan and team keep up their great work
It's not like it's one pharmacy throwing out millions in one place. They've all been distributed through a tree of supply chain. A million here, give 2,000 each to distributors to deliver, etc.

You essentially have to "undo" that chain faster than the product will go bad to a place it will be utilized in time.

Otherwise you'd have to travel to the majority of pharmacies all around the US and some how get that all to the airport.

And trucks/delivery drivers are very very expensive at scale.

Form should come after function. But often times form actually contributes to function. (In the sense of making the "right" thing intuitive to do)

Function is IMO always paramount.
Everyone fucks up. But Intel fucks up big.
You are right. I remember in particular when the company I was with sold the Panasonic home printer. For a student is was great, but ALL the parts were made of the type of plastic that could not take heat in the long run.

The user manual clearly said no more than 100 pages at a time and less than a 1000 a day, no problem for a student.

Yet time after time someone would come in and want one for office work. We would point them to the better printers that have hard metal parts in all the key areas and would print all day nonstop if needed. Yet time after time they insisted on the cheap home Panasonic printer.

Then a few months later they would show up screaming and yelling that we sold them a piece of junk. Shame that the printer kept track of how many pages it printed. And the manual clearly stated the limits. We never saw the court cases they threaten us with. :)
> need to know how many pages you are going to print. If the amount is greater than the one provided for in your inkjet starter pack

aka print volumes and cartridge yields, as I said.

In any case, if you're not calculating TCO, then you're not calculating TCO. Brand loyalty is just brand loyalty, even when tech savvy people do it. There are economical and uneconomical printers from nearly any brand depending on use-case.
Replace "paid for" with "bought" and the connotation changes entirely.
