Business is going under is actually a good thing. It frees up market space for new entrepreneurs and new businesses to be able to get going and make newer better offerings. The last two recessions all of the big companies have been bailed out, which means that we have the same bad practices and bad CEOs still in charge of our economy.

Virtualization-backed container technologies are a definite security improvement over traditional containers (including Hyper-V), but most of the measures in this article are still important. Remember, security-in-depth. Virtualization mainly protects against zero-day kernel exploits, limiting the "blast radius" to a single container. You still need to monitor dependencies, isolation, signing, scanning, and have a vulnerability management program, among other things.

> I'm starting to feel that perhaps the python/django market is overly flooded at the moment

Python is a super popular language for newbies and people converting from less currently in demand languages, and Django is the dominant web framework, so there's probably lots of moderately skilled people with low (for development) salary demands available for Python/Django jobs.

> I have noticed a high percentage of jobs seem to want you to have a bunch of AWS experience. I've messed around with EC2 instances but that is about it.

Yeah, I am guessing a lot want CloudFront/API Gateway/Lambda experience and others. You seem to be looking for a Sr. position where you need either real deep expertise in a component of the stack, or coverage of the whole stack (or a large subset) in use and a good story about ability to pick up the rest and guide architecture and implementation approach choices or somewhat less tech skill and deep experience of the problem domain. If you are going out of the area where you have that depth (Perl on the tech side, ERP on the domain side), you may have to temporarily aim lower until you can build the necessary breadth or domain/tech-specific depth.

And just so we don’t end this discussion with misinformation I’m gonna leave a final quote here:

A credible fact check would not state "Covid-19 did not leak from a laboratory" - it would state "There is no evidence that shows Covid-19 leaked from a laboratory." Back in early 2020 the "evidence" to which people were pointing was the fact that there was a lab researching coronavirus in Wuhan, and... general conspiracy nonsense.

If over time actual evidence emerges that there was a potential lab leak, that doesn't in any way vindicate people making baseless claims early in the pandemic.

By the time it becomes a problem, it'll be too late to reverse. You think publishers will willingly give up the ability lock down their games on PCs? It's been their dream for decades. I'd rather not give up what we can do with the software we've paid for (and I don't care what some piece of crap ToS says I can or cannot do with the software), just so you get less cheaters in online games.
It's not about the customer, it's about the fact that the merchants have to pay the Google tax in order to play.
>You should really cite something to back up your claim that non-N95 masks don't help.

I suspect that depends on what someone means by the word "help."

N-95 masks have filters that (IIUC) are fine enough to block most SARS-Cov2 containing droplets from being inhaled.

Other masks do not have such filters.

However, that's not the rationale for encouraging widespread masking. Since many COVID infections are asymptomatic and transmission is certainly possible for those who are pre-symptomatic, the rationale is that non-N95 masks don't protect the wearer, but rather those around the wearer, as they trap some (more or less, depending on the materials in such a mask) SARS-Cov2 containing droplets, making an infected person less likely to infect others.

So, if by "help" someone means "this will help keep me from being infected by others," then that argument is correct.

However, if by "help" someone means "this will help keep me from infecting others, and with widespread use of masking, help others from infecting me" then that argument is specious.
I expect that it meant a lot to Shatner. That man has spent a significant portion of his life imitating a spacefaring version of humanity. For him to finally see reality intersecting with the fiction of his lifes-work must be very satisfying. I completely understand that it was a profound moment for him.

The contrast between him and Jeff spraying champagne and squealing with his marketroids was very apparent.
> Society, as a whole, has worked fairly well without "bullshit filters." It's when you start putting them on that you start having issues

When has society ever not had bullshit filters? Intellectual debate goes both ways. The more your ideas go outside of the mainstream understanding of your peers, the more push back, ridiculing, and “cancelation” you will likely be subjected to by the scientific community

I've only skimmed through the Phase One report, but not surprised to see the UK government website (GOV.UK) mentioned.

The massive GOV.UK website is an excellent example of using open source to provide public services and information. An example service: the official government coronovirus dashboard - https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ Scroll down to the footer and there is a link to all the frontend source code on GitHub.

Information, not just source code, also benefits from being made open. For example, back in 2016, a UK government blog on accessibility shared a series of posters on designing for accessibility [1]. Many readers of the blog wanted to translate the posters. They were posted on GitHub and have been translated into Japanese, Estonian, Russian and many more languages: https://github.com/UKHomeOffice/posters/tree/master/accessib...

Finally, also equally important is open data: https://data.gov.uk/

> Musk sent a car into space as a publicity stunt.

I'd say maybe 10% of that stunt was for publicity. The rocket had to be tested, it had to include a payload, and sending a suit to space provided extra data as well.

edit: let's also not forget that there always been an element of humor in spaceflight. Apollo 10's callsigns were Snoopy and Charlie Brown. Watch the funny moonwalk videos. Read transcripts of flights. It's okay to have a laugh in space. The astronauts who make it to Mars will sorely need it.

I've never quite understood why a lot of people found launching the car to be so egregious. The first launch of a rocket routinely carries a "test mass" of some kind, which I understood to usually be a boring hunk of metal, or at least something that wouldn't be a great loss if the rocket failed. Putting a car on there didn't seem like a frivolous waste, as it would be unlikely for a customer to put forth a serious payload for the debut Falcon Heavy launch.

Yes, it was kind of meme-y and marketing-y. But it is a business, and I also don't think being serious about something means you can never make a joke about it.
Wait until they land their first Mars rover. I wouldn’t be surprised if 25% of the available power gets dedicated to AV gear to send near real time HD 4K video back to earth. ‘Cause cool videos are what gets people excited and paying attention. And I for one can’t wait!
They could, but if Microsoft provides a native sandbox that publishers can default into without extra effort that effectively protects "their" property from meddling by nosy end-users, they absolutely will. It'll become a standard instead of some fringe practice. Right now the only real options are Denuvo and server-side processing. Microsoft is in a position now with W11 to change that in a fundamental way.

There is no compelling argument. They constantly keep shifting the goal posts whenever asked genuine questions. The definition of "vaccine" is even being redefined by a couple of these radical groups.
I thought that when he interrupted for champagne showers, but after that he seems more present in the conversation and really listening.

I have to say that listening to Shatner's description made me more intrigued than the other stories I've heard from the recent visitors. His emotion, the voice, the particular idea he is trying to express of that change in perspective really captured the intensity of the experience in a way that made me want to know it as well.
My first car was $500, my second was $200. You buy used and old. Myself and most of my friends were willing to work on them ourselves for minor repairs that were needed. Lots of kids got hand me downs as their parents bought themselves a new car. There were lots of cheap clunkers to be had back in the day. No idea what the used market looks like these days though…
I thought launching the car was genius. It captured the attention of so many people that otherwise would not be interested in the launch. Parents saw it as a way to capture their kids imagination (at least I did). Something had to go up, may as well not waste the experience. Wonder how many of Space X's contracts are a result of that moment.
I still have a hexa-core Phenom II as my primary desktop workhorse. I'm not looking forward to the day the motherboard or CPU flakes out. It really does fulfill most of my needs. The only real advantage I can see by upgrading to something more modern is lower power usage. From an environmental perspective, I'm guessing I'd have to run the new system for a long time to make up for the impact of manufacturing the new motherboard and CPU.

The War On Pain Relief sucks in so many ways. News orgs that parrot Gov/Leo anti-opioid narratives - w/o any analysis at all - aren't helping.

In FL, Opioid Rx are limited to 3 days and the politics behind that pushes Drs to not Rx opioids under any circumstances.

Cases in point: I was recently Rx'd Tylenol after emergency abdominal surgery - had to convince the Dr just to Rx Tramadol. This is everywhere now. Under-medicating patients with OTC analgesics is the new normal for hospitals/ERs.

I've a friend who responsibly took opioids for years to mitigate his (visibly) advanced rheumatoid arthritis. Within a year of the 3-day law passing, Drs in his network ended opioid Rxs. The (now fewer) pain management Drs are over capacity and not accepting new patients. What pain relief he can manage isn't thru Drs.

So, yeah. Thanks Opioid Hysteria for forcing desperate people in pain toward less safe alternatives.
> Killing people is an acceptable trade off - you do it every day. Otherwise we’d stop driving, flying or take any risks. You’re appealing to the emotion and doubling down on it.

Sure, if you only consider first-order effects from car accidents.

A world without easy transportation is a less well off one and one that likely has more people dying/living shorter lives than our present one.

Saying that someone dying is bad is not an appeal to emotion. I'm a consequentialist - I believe we should implement welfare improving policies.

A policy that saved 3 million people, in my view, is a net good one.

If the US confiscated all of the wealth of the billionaires in the US (which would absolutely wreck the economy as well as that wealth, since much of that their wealth is tied up in stocks)...it would fund less than a year of government spending and not even be able to pay for the $3.5T package that is currently being debated (maybe close...the most recent estimate wealth for US billionares is between $3T and $3.5T).

But this, too, is complicated, because despite what people say on Twitter, as humans we actually can reason from first principles, assign probabilities, and discount or promote less or more likely explanations -- especially when hard evidence isn't forthcoming.

When there's "no evidence" for something, that doesn't mean all explanations are equally likely.
This is confusing models with reality. It is the application of any specific model to reality that is not perfect.

Glibc has always been a whole rigamarole of nasty GCC-isms. I've been interested in building entire GNU/Linux systems with Clang for years, but I have always found a general lack of interest from both maintainers and the community.

> are reddit and HN comments, neither of which I'd put in the category of conscious manipulators.

Reddit is absolutely in the family of conscious manipulators-- even if it is somewhat less effective at it than facebook or twitter.

Particularly many of the characteristics of the 'new' interface were designed specifically with the intent of increasing "engagement" and they use those usage metrics to drive their further optimizations.

(e.g. infinite scroll, inlining images in the scroll to reduce clicking, aggressively pushing the mobile app and/or login to improve tracking. They've also recently started half-logging-out users who've opted out of 'new', so you have to click login to get your preference honored).

Yes, I've been using /e/ in daily use for over a year now.

It's pretty good most of the time. It will not satisfy people who want/need a truly "hardened" device, but if you are just a normal person who wants to feed less data to the ad-tech monsters, then it works well.

The default /e/ app store has both FLOSS apps from F-Droid and free-as-in-beer proprietary apps mirrored from Google Play store. Whether an individual app works well or not depends on how tightly coupled it is to Google Play Services
