I agree, and I’m a long time HODLer, but most men friends of mine can’t handle the emotional roller coaster of just holding (I’m a guy as well). What’s interesting is that my female friends are perfectly capable of doing it…..they invested less money, but their patience easily makes up for investing less money originally.
No, this should not be investigated. Can we have this flagged please? Or what are we here, anti-science? Are neo-Nazis running this site now?
Am I the only one who thinks that this marketing strategy is brilliant? I mean, it really is the most discussed car right now, and people are the ones who promote this car, so the company doesn't even need to do anything. I'm pretty sure that it's just an exception because I doubt that any product can repeat this, so usual entrepreneurs still have o spend a fortune on promoting their products. Some of them use outsourcing services like Awesomic, and I think it's a better decision for small companies.

so. how do these things happen? juniper had/has "commit confirm" for ages. or that would not help for certain things?
You are absolutely correct. I have recently been in workplaces where, almost without exception, managers (mostly non-tech) at or above a certain level deliberately held loud phone conversations, or 1-on-1 conversations, while slowly walking laps around the roughly O-shaped open office layouts. They know it pisses people off. It is, almost literally, a pissing contest.
Why the pricing is changed? The old preemptible VM is around 75% off, but now it is a flexible rate (60% ~ 90%).

Wonder if anyone would keep track of this new pricing over the time to see what's the actual discount like.
I mean that we don't have enough storage capacity to cover the current loads with renewables only, the situation is the same in most countries. For example, in Italy we have ~7.4GW of stored installed power: 97% alone is from a few very large pumped hydroelectric plants, 3% from chemical batteries (more than 45000 distributed systems). The base electric load is 38GW and peaks between ~56GW and ~60GW, these are between 5 and 10 times what the storage systems can now supply. I don't see the numbers changing significantly in the near future, unless there will be major technological breakthroughs and massive investements into these solutions.

Realistically, greatly reducing energy consumption is not possible without drastic changes to our lifestyle, which many will surely oppose. This is also in contrast to the current trend of electrifying everything as much as possible: from transport to heating and manufacture. We can try to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and engines, wasting less, but it's not going to reverse the trend of growing energy demand.

> What are subscriber links

>A subscriber link is a mechanism by which LWN subscribers may grant free access to specific LWN articles to others. It takes the form of a special link which bypasses the subscription gate for that article.

> Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link?

> Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and blog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared.

It's a distinction of degree; is crossing the road gambling? Or is it an extreme sport given that it's a physical activity with a risk of death? No, that just renders the categories useless.

One of the sibling comments talks about adrenalin; perhaps (and this is only half joking) it's like the "sexual content" censorship boundary in that it's only bad if people enjoy it.
This seems to be a manifestation of the growing "anti work" movement. I'm wondering if we, in the face of growing inequality, will have a worker's uprising in the somewhat near future, such as a renewed form of communism. Throughout history the power/wealth distribution seems to ebb and flow and perhaps it's time for a correction.

Is there a specific concern with official UK medical data reported in the article?

The purpose of studying deaths and other injuries after a medical intervention is to improve screening of those at risk of injury, thereby avoiding injury.

How many times has "think of the children" been used to justify technology policy? It's literally the topic here.

We can prevent deaths by performing basic data science, to identify questions for further study.

The proposal doesn't state it needs to be kept in whois database. It states that it must be kept "in a dedicated database" and be available to "lawful and duly justified requests for access".

Obviously this isn't going to fix anything because those who so wish will just provide false information

ICANN already state that a domain name registrant is obliged to "provide accurate information for publication in directories such as WHOIS, and promptly update this to reflect any changes." This proposal is formalizing that in law.

Im not sure if i agree with that or not, but lets not pretend this is the end of "whois privacy", as many comments (and the author of this article) seem to be suggesting.
I have some experience with outsiderisms. I am an outsider almost my whole life, being a person with a disability.

I always had to find my place in groups where I was the outsider. If I felt like people like you seemt o imply all the time, I would have ended up in total social isolation. And no, I never felt like me being different was a reason to not interact with these groups. Quite to the contrary. If you are an outsider, you learn quite early that this sort of thinking is masochistic. And I find it extremely problematic that these days, certain people seem to feed this false belief of not belonging. So no, I cant agree with your simple analysis, and no, I cant see the sentence I replied to as innocent either.
That’s not what I implied. And also not true, vaccinated people can also get treated if they have a breakthrough infection.

It's been interesting to see bitcoin and blockchain migrate from tech infrastructure to the mainstream. I had a chat to an electrician recently who lost an apprentice because they wanted to go 'all in' on trading crypto. Electricians and other tradespeople are in short supply here in the UK and he just couldn't understand why someone would forgo a solid career for something so flakey. He felt he'd lost this apprentice to a cult. Just one anecdote but it's interesting how similar the furor of crypto is to that of religious dogma, with many people claiming prophetic foresight, and going all in on the dogma both to self-rationalize their risk-taking and for FOMO. There is, as well, a lot of economical turbulence in peoples' lives at the moment, meaning they're more likely to turn to gambling and risk-taking.
Continental EU (if you still consider UK European) university is often free. Costs pile up in associated requirements (e.g. housing, textbooks, whatever) but you don't have to take out student loans is the point. So GP's point stands.

Brexit aside, I think most people think of Western/Northern continental EU when talking about Europe than UK.

> why the insurance industry isn’t usually called gambling

I feel that both the Lloyds names (https://www.theguardian.com/money/2000/nov/04/business.perso...) and the famous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management were engaged in a gambling-like strategy - positive expected return with possible downside vastly exceeding initial investment - even if it doesn't "feel like" gambling. But there isn't really a good phrase for that. Finance people sometimes say "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller".

Very good point! That'll be an interesting decision for Scots... whether to punish England for hundreds of years of BS, even if it means still a hard border and trade barriers with England. Or maybe just logically they'd think, the UK (really, English people within the UK) caused a bunch of trouble in the EU, why would England rejoining as an individual country be any different. As an English person I really fear for the future, there are forces at work including widespread severe delusions, that could lead to civil unrest, even civil war.
> He felt he'd lost this apprentice to a cult.

I think he was right. My criterion for whether someone's in a cult is that eerie feeling talking to them, where they get angry at any challenge, they can never quite seem to explain why they're as invested (metaphorically and literally) as they are, and so forth. It's that sense that they themselves don't know why they do it, and there's a lot of emotional pathology that goes into shutting off from the outside world and protecting their obsession from reality. That absolutely typifies Bitcoin/crypto obsessives I've met.
Why (or indeed why not) it would be counted as the same attack is exactly the point of the case I described.
It sure would make some things more convenient.

My daughter arrived 10 weeks premature and with her being only 16 months old now since birth, whenever we’re asked her age it’s normally for people to compare her progress developmentally and we have to do a quick calculation in our heads.

It made me realise that date of birth is not especially significant compared to date of conception.

The link you posted is just raw excess deaths. Whether they had COVID or not is unknown, so the "with COVID" vs" "from COVID" argument is irrelevant here.

While I agree with you that a significant part of those deaths are in fact from COVID, there's other explanations other than "lockdown stress" that could cause increased excess deaths - people avoiding medical treatment due to fear of catching COVID in healthcare settings, hospitals being overloaded in the first place and surgeries being delayed, or poorer health outcomes due to financial impact, which in extreme cases could cause food insecurity or homelessness.
MongoDB is a classic example of the innovator's dilemma. In its first incarnation it had no ACID transactions, no joins, no Geo-Spatial indexes, no inverted indexes, no SQL query language etc.

What it did have (which no relational database had at the time) was JSON as a coin of the realm and a distributed database model. Run the clock forward and MongoDB now competes on equal footing with relational databases for all those features but it still has the key competitive advantages of JSON as a native format and a distributed architecture.

Does anyone else see those excessive "crypto dudes" around in their social circle? They seem to eat, breath and excrete Bitcoins day in, day out.

I can't understand why otherwise intelligent people are sucked into some cult-like gambling, wasting their lives away and talking about the upcoming disruption of the financial system in much the same way as QAnon idiot talk about the "Great awakening".

During my lifetime, some cultish obsessions made the round, but seems to me that "always on" social media has poured a lot of gas on the fire.
That's true tho, isn't it? Heroin also helped millions of people against pain without getting everyone addicted before we found better opiods for daily use. There are also people using heroin as party drug without high risk of addiction (even thought that may not be a lot)

By diplomatic pressure for example, or by withholding the development aid and technology necessary. Or by assassinating the nuclear scientists and later bombing the shit out of the facilities.

All of which has happened. In my opinion, the risk of nuclear power in its current form can't be computed, even within a robust regulatory environment. Without a robust regulatory environment, or even instable regimes and regions, I don't think there is even a question to the answer of: No, please don't.
Meteors that are seen in the morning are mostly cometary material that do not produce meteorites. For material from the asteroid belt there is a sampling bias: material hitting at the evening side of the Earth has a lower relative velocity and therefore a larger probability to survive the impact with the atmosphere.

Yeah, I think I'm just saying if you use a broad enough definition for gambling then everything in the world is gambling through a certain lens (i.e. Apple are gambling that a nuclear device doesn't get detonated in Cupertino).
> Ethnic studies sounds like a valuable thing to add to baseline education

As far as I can tell, it’s just a thinly disguised effort to socialize brown kids into identity politics. It’s an experiment that risks derailing the economic convergence that’s we’re seeing with Latinos and could cut the legs out from under Asian upward mobility.

I was seething when I got an email from my school saying they’d be teaching my (brown) kids to develop their “identity” around “skin color” but hey what can you do. The liberals get what the liberals want.
I'm not making a statement that the lockdowns should not all have happened.
That is what you're inferring from what I've said.

I'm just stating as to whether they had the intended effect or not. In both cases they did not have the exactly intended effect because people mis-handled the situation.

The first lockdown can be justified from numerous perspectives. Economically, Healthcare, Socially the first lockdown at least in the UK allowed for the government to get control back on a difficult situation which we ended up spending at least £1T and bringing in the army for so any reason why we failed to get control falls on deaf ears given how much clearly has/had to be spent on this.

The statement that more people needed to catch varient-OmegaEpsilon over variant-X to reach immunity is just daft and an argument for the sake of it.

I say rocket science because there are no higher-order derivations required to explain the behaviours in this case the modelling is much, much simpler and just requires understanding what's going on. (I've worked with both sets of simulation systems, the code for rocket science is often much better and more complex but viral modelling is typically done very, very, very badly still in 2021)

The big clue here is LOCKDOWN1 != LOCKDOWN2 there are different reasons why they may have happened, how successful they were or should/could have been and that they both failed in different ways.

Making a statement that LOCKDOWN1 == LOCKDOWN2 is making a statement that every day of the year is exactly like Chirstmas. If you're not following this then you've misunderstood what I'm saying and I would advise you re-read some epidemiological texts, some texts on numerical modelling and some texts on statistical analysis.
The UK is not a good yardstick to judge healthy weight by. High levels of overweight here among all races (also, a lot of UK TV drama portrays the UK as a lot whiter than it actually is - our major cities & more modern towns are as ethnically diverse as the US equivalent). However, there's less extreme obesity here - likely as portion sizes tend to be smaller (soda cups larger than 20oz are a rarity, for example).
This is one of the truest things I've read in this thread. Many people would feel differently if it were easy to visualise and see how much money is siphoned off from Main St to Wall St. Dumb money flows up to smart money. I've seen it from all angles while working in fintech.

I can count the number of people I've met who genuinely beat the smart money, with no formal training, on the fingers of one foot. (The one guy who would maybe fit into that category was a physicist who was formerly a professor at Harvard, so still hardly the kind of person you were talking about.)
> Commits aren't patches.

Indeed. I'd add that this is, in my, experience one of the biggest sources of misunderstanding for people new to git. It isn't helped by the fact that a lot of git introductions (well-meaningly) emphasize diffs between commits.

Darcs (http://darcs.net/) is an example of a truly patch-centric DVCS. While I think git is great and that its ubiquitousness has made the world better, I'm always a bit sad when reminded of what could have been with Darcs (for all its problems).

I'm not surprised. I've rejected quite a few job offers over the years because the company had very precise expectations of how much I should work and at what level, but when I asked for a fair compensation of my time, they weaseled out and claimed that it would disturb the balance of salaries within their company.

If someone asks me to work at 20% of a fair salary, I have two options: a) laugh at their face and reject the offer or b) accept and only work 20% of the time.

I always went with a) because I never had a shortage of work offers. But I can understand why someone who needs the money will choose b). In a way, this is a fight against the immoral behavior of big corporations.
So does farming.
Ordinary investing tends to be positive expectancy and positive-sum. That is, there are economic reasons to expect stock prices to go up so both parties to a trade can gain instead of one making a gain equal to the other’s loss.

Gambling is either negative expectancy* with a bookie/casino or zero-sum. The zero-sum case is a bit more interesting: if you are better at betting then you can make a profit, but the people who succeed are not problem gamblers.

There is probably some argument to be made that trading some financial instruments in certain ways is similar to this latter type of gambling.

So my claim is basically that investing is an activity that should be positive sum and gambling is not.

* if you are smarter than the casino or bookie you will be kicked out so maybe you can make a small positive amount of money.

From a corporate perspective this has very little to do with CoC. It has to do with simplifying their life. CoC enforcement is surely and element on the list, but there are many others. As you noted, no one talks about it. Why? Because that is not the problem.

This whole crisis is not because of GitHub Enterprise usage alone. It is because of the absolute lack of communication and the disrespect towards the maintainers. That is so much worse than some CoC enforcement.
It also demonstrates a basic lack of understanding of how the energy markets work and how as just about the only intermittent buyer of last resort, proof of work is about to positively impact the energy infrastructure in a pretty substantial way and will probably converge on tapping into exclusively stranded / wasted energy (about 30% of energy production vs less than 0.1% of global production used by pow today).
