> The only thing that remains, is some protection against symptomatic disease.

And sever disease needing hospitalization and death. And these indeed the things we want to avoid. Both as individuals and as a society. Because if/when hospitals fill up then you have a trouble. This is what people don't get. (They also don't get that they could end up in a hospital or a morgue with some probability, so I don't even mention that.)

One of my friend's father has been waiting for an operation for half a year here (in Hungary). They couldn't do it in the spring because the hospitals were overcrowded with covid patients. Then they couldn't do it because the waiting lists grew during that period. Then somehow he got in about a week ago with the help of a former high ranking official (yeah, gotta love Eastern Europe) just to be sent home the next morning, because there weren't enough free beds in the ICU any more. Yes, anecdotal, but this is the thing we try to avoid.
Fully vaccinated people are less likely to contract or spread the virus. There's no question about this currently with the present strains. However they do not at all halt the spread of the virus. Israel is a good example of this.

As I have said elsewhere in this thread I don't agree with the lyrics in that video. I find the video itself to be childish and silly but that would basically be 99% of rap and pop music in general.

I had to specifically ask for fastpath for my DSL connection, without it I get around 35ms to the exchange. You however do need a decent connection to the DSLAM for it to work properly without packet loss. You can get the same bandwidth over fastpath as interleaving if the line is clean.

Well you do need to find a server midway between all the users, which is a hassle of course. I don't personally like the model either becuase it needs to decompress, mix and recomopress all the streams on the server and also needs an extra jitter buffer.

Question for the vaccinated: would you accept it if your government mandated annual COVID shots or they'll rescind your current freedoms (right to be employed, to use public transport, supermarkets, eat and drink venues, etc)?

I'm vaccinated and even though my country hasn't got you're-not-allowed-to-do-anything-unless-you're-vaccinated authoritarianism like Lithuania for example, I would want off this ride if things go in that direction.
The same podcast included a story about an entrepeneur _trying_ to ship empty containers but none of the shipping lines would eliminate the part of the lading contract that says they own the containers when you're done with it.

Anyways, right now the bottleneck isn't shipping containers in China, that was an early pandemic logistics story.
I think this is a reference class problem. One could also say software replaced work done in offices with work still being done in offices. (until recently) Most of the work was still done on literal desktops. but significant changes have been happening within the subset of the office and within the use of the desk.

I think WASAPI has comparable latency to ASIO drivers. I can get around 20-30ms latency with WASAPI though ASIO takes me down to 10-15. Granted I'm using a dedicated USB audio interface though.
Totally agree, but having used zsh, fish and elvish as my daily driver shell (each for at least 1 month) I think that not having POSIX/bash compliance eventually becomes an annoyance.

I like zsh because it is mostly (entirely?) POSIX compliant, but adds extended features. I think that's the best approach to make it easier for people to start using your shell.

random note: back when the Go language was first released I wanted to try it out.. I started making a shell that I called GoSH. Didn't get very far, you could execute programs, change directories etc. It was fun! And taught me a lot about low level languages.

I don't see your point. There are millions of ads currently sold on existing exchanges by third parties, why are you claiming it can't scale?

> Is it fair to ask some other ad exchanges to run ads on NYTimes or CNN, Fox news?

I don't understand your point. None of those news organizations operate an ads exchange.

Living in a newly built high rise in more attractive to some people than a decades old house that might not be in the best shape. You can't "redirect demand", that's just not how the world works. When a bunch of jobs are centered in a city, then people will move to that city to work. You need to have a solution that can accommodate the population growth. Just telling people to go away is xenophobic and denies the reality of the situation.
I’d bet money on it. Or if not nationalized, funded like DOD contractors.
The assumption that material like this is the reason people don't believe the government is just that: an assumption.

What evidence do you have that this is what drives people to not believe the things the public health establishment wants them to believe?

You don't have any evidence because it's not possible to prove this.

I should also point out that you have misinformation in your statement.

You are stating that covid will eventually pass. This virus is now endemic and is not going to go away. You do realize this, right?

The vaccine is very effective in minimizing the risk of hospitalization and/or death but it is a leaky vaccine. Leaky vaccines will never eradicate any virus and instead will simply promote various mutations.

Blame unvaccinated people for many things but you can't blame them for the persistence of this virus. It's not going to go away.
Farm workers went from 14m to 3m because farms became much more productive (even more than 14/3, since we produce more agricultural goods too).

Surely you see that having fewer workers because the work is being done someplace far away is not equivalent having fewer workers because we can do more work with fewer.
There's nothing to wonder. It's in the "health pass" specs from WHO, which I reviewed. It leaves space for future treatments. If you see what's going on in parts of Europe and Australia, it's pretty obvious what the intentions are.

I don't disagree that the US made a huge mistake when it outsourced its production (for all the reasons you mentioned). But the solution is not to rip off the bandaid and view millions of businesses as collateral damage. You'll notice that the Chinese government is great at playing a long game, eg: Taiwan. We need to do the same.

The only way we can get better at long games is to examine what's driving our current weakness in that area. My guess is that it has to do with the dynamics of presidential terms. To get re-elected, you have to achieve something big in the first four years, and anything big will piss off the other half of the country and will make you lose the congressional elections at the end of your second year. So the solution is to either do something big that buys you favors with both political parties (literally nothing comes to mind), or to get it done in the first two years. China, in comparison, has been plotting the takeover of Taiwan for decades, and is very strategically, step by step, moving in that direction. If this was the US, the only option would have been a quick invasion or a start-stop effort every 4-8 years.

Reflections on a Decade of Coding, Part 6: Moving Faster
Morality is entirely a subjective endeavor that feels objective only because large groups agree upon certain standards of behavior. The idea that you need religion to have morality is an old one based on tradition, but has never been true at any time in history.

In fact, when we look at religious morality through history with the eyes of modernity, we see what we can only describe as a vast chasm of immorality. Sure, a stopped clock is right twice a day, and once in a while, religious morals get it right.

It’s often said by atheists like myself, if you want to become an atheist, simply read the religious books of any major religion. The problem is that most religious adherents have no idea what their books actually say, and take most of their beliefs on faith from authority. But when you really read the books, you realize that this is not a paragon of morality by any stretch of the imagination.

Just as another data point, I probably will get a booster shot if they're available for my demographic (and it's just the same Pfizer shot I've already had two of).

But it would only be under real duress that I'd prove to someone other than my doctor that I'd had it. The point to me is individual choice, and limits on what kind of information the state can compel from you. Generally I think the vaccines (even if they don't work to well) are not a big deal.
> In the past, offices were a great way to meet new people.

I would suggest that your work office is not a great way to depend on meeting new people. Aim to meet new people at social settings, not business settings.

Join clubs and go to social activities to meet new people. Sports, culture, arts, etc. Spaces that have zero to do with your work or profession are key.

I'm in the Army Reserve to meet people outside work, for example.
> It's really simple. They took down the video because it's critical of Biden and the guy is wearing a MAGA hat.

For international travel I would accept mandatory testing and quarantine. It is entirely sensible solution to problem, also I don't think vaccination status should make difference until we have sterilizing vaccine.
> instead of starting from a footing of assuming complaints are the cloaked dressing for being against user privacy.

The problem with this is twofold:

a: 'Most' (by loudness or other perception) of the complaints are known to be bad faith because they're coming from malicious actors like Facebook or Google which we know are against user privacy (since that's their business model).

b: You have to go out of your way to build a site that interferes with actual user privacy, for example by actively adding Google Analytics scripts or faux-CAPTCHAs, or actively demanding a real name and actively doing something about it if the user lies to you. (Technically you get IP addresses by default, but much like mailing addresses, obscuring these pretty much has to be the user's responsibility, since how else would you respond to them.)

So if you want a assumption of good faith, you need to be clear that you're complaining about the bureaucratic compliance overhead (eg having a particular data processing officer or whatever GDPR calls it), rather than about having to change your object-level service to eliminate spyware that you went out of your way to incorporate in the first place.
I'm pretty sure there are different groups also among the same exact religion. If we asked to a large group of Christians whether we, say, should help immigrants, we would probably end up with 3 types of answers: "yes, let's help them!" - "yes, but only for very basic needs, then let's kick them out" - "nope, let's build a wall and let them rot on the other side".
Of course the 2nd and especially the 3rd group have absolutely nothing to do with anything christian, and they profess them as such only to not feel guilty, or possibly because the society they live in requires that (how many votes would a politician get is he/she admitted being atheist?) - religion for them is just a series of acts (go to church, make offers, say prayers aloud, etc.) intended to cheat the system and appear as good people while in realty they aren't.
I am also sure that the 1st group live a better life, which doesn't mean they'll earn more, actually it's quite likely the opposite, but they grow better "antibodies" to overcome difficulties without anger.

BTW, I'm writing this as a complete atheist. Spending most of my youth in catholic schools helped me to know many people of all those groups, and believe me, for us atheists recognizing someone that is just pretending to be religious is truly easy.

I... surely you're joking. The Steam Deck poses no serious threat to Nintendo.

It's not remotely possible for Steam Deck to have the sort of first-party integration Nintendo accomplishes around co-op games, multiple controllers in multiple configurations, motion controls, pairing, latency, suspend/resume...

Like, have you used a Valve product before? They're beautiful and inspiring but... when they work, it's still not Nintendo quality.

The vast, vast majority of Nintendo customers know nothing of game mods or competitive multiplayer or care about latency or netcode. I doubt the majority even play Smash or any fighting game.

I don't buy this.

I was at a social outing some years back at pub that I had been to a number of times before with some longtime friends of mine. Somehow we got on the topic of favorite candies from childhood. I mentioned Warheads.

I hadn't had one of those in two decades, and certainly hadn't seen any ads for them in a long time.

But still, the very next day, I was getting ads for them on social media.

Everyone I have ever asked about it has a similar story.

You could whip up some kind of explanation that a friend of mine searched Warheads later. Or maybe a nearby bar patron overheard the conversation and searched for the candies.

That just seems so unlikely, though. It was a miniscule detail in a larger conversation. But in terms of retail products discussed, it was one of only a few.
your view seemed to be pretty clearly, "commercial zoning is unnecessary for the problem of building factories next to schools", based on your phrase "Gigantic factories don’t want to be on small residential streets anyway because they cant fit the trucks in, so I think that argument cuts the other way - there are natural forces that deter that stuff. ", meaning, "natural forces" would "deter" "that stuff", in this case "that stuff" being building factories next to schools. Sorry to be pedantic but I'm not quite sure what it is I'm not understanding.

if you're saying, "I was just arguing that one exact example, i didnt say natural forces help for all kinds of other problems that commercial zoning is meant to help", well OK, so I think commercial zoning is necessary for even a less-than-gigantic, but nevertheless distruptive, noisy, and polluting manufacturing facilities being built inappropriately close to schools and residential areas which may nevertheless still be on roads that are fairly or fully accessible by truck traffic". After all the truck traffic could enter in the front of the building's property and the back and sides of the building's property abut said schools and homes in any case. just go look at any commercial property with a lot of trucking and movement going on, it doesn't take much imagination to see how such a thing can and quite often does abut residential areas in any case.

In this essay, he mentions not knowing what a schizophrenic experiences, and then talks about his preoccupation with what is real, how reality seems fake, and startling coincidences that seem like precognition.

These actually are most of the core experiences of schizophrenia for some people; people don't realize this because the stereotype (of hearing voices and so on) exists semi-independently of the illness and is self-reinforcing.

Probably there are many people who are more or less what is called "schizotypal" and don't have an episode that leads to hospitalization or other crisis so they never identify with the people who experience psychosis.

There was a former judge who was institutionalized a long time ago, and was still able to write a great deal about what he experienced, named Daniel Paul Schreber.

But why use a HOC? `useState` is a global function. I don't see a problem using some kind of static global state factory thing. Likewise, you could just call set() and get() without any of the fancy stuff.
