It's way too cheap, iirc Dr. Kory was estimating it would cost like $12 per person to use Ivermectin as a preventative, and this is at current prices.

Also, said company, Merck, is in the process of releasing a new drug that will cost in the thousands.

I like how the author acknowledges that some people claim that TPMs are evil but doesn't actually refute it.

As long as I can't extract the Endorsement Keys from a TPM I legally own you are not convincing me otherwise.
> The failure here is on the part of city planners

Yeah, no, when there is a perfectly fine one way road with enough space plus a speed limit of 25 mph, having to constantly be aware of people on bicycles come at you from behind or around corners at full speed is the fault of the person who chooses to do that.

The fact that this happens every day, multiple times is because 1) the targets (e.g., moms with a stroller) are powerless in a one-on-one confrontation with these bullies; 2) the police will never enforce existing laws.

In Denmark and the Netherlands, at least when I got to bike in those places, the police would routinely ticket bicyclists. I know, I got tickets and paid fines.
> This unencrypted file is then provided to drive if you select back up with Google drive in WhatsApp.

Why can't they just encrypt the data?! It makes no sense. I manually back up my messages because of this. After some time WhatsApp will start nagging me to enable cloud backups. I suppose this fits into the "annoy users until they give up their privacy" theme in the litigation document.
Small fines probably even help them in the long run since they tame popular anger. I'd almost prefer no fines (in contrast to small fines) so people can transparently see how unaccountable they are. Ideally we can get big fines, though.
I came to the same conclusion around the same timeframe. All the current solutions are not great but CubeJS just didn’t have enough maturity yet. I decided to just hold off on making any changes for a year or two and reevaluate.

And considering that it isn’t clear that a legally viable FSD implementation will ever be possible on the hardware Tesla sold, it’s a pretty ballsy move for anyone but a time traveler.

Laweyers tend go on "the safer side" so to include the most broad definition of "derivative". (As in general: the most pessimistic interpretation of any underspecified clause.)

For example, in principle a screenshot would be a perfect example of a "fair use" for citation/reference. In practice, lwayers tend to disagtee - as "a small part of a work" is something horribly unspecified.

Of course, if you are Google/Facebook/Apple or so, you can do as you wish. (Unless you are at risk of a legal war with another corporation.) So because they use it in a given way does not mean that you will be able to defend yourself the same way.
> but the T and P series are still very good IMO

Never had a P, but had my hands on recent Ts and Xs and they're definitely an order of magnitude worse than their respective ancestors. They're much harder to crack open and replace parts (some even have RAM soldered to the motherboard!), the shell is much more fragile, and there's so many tiny hardware failures that they're hard to list... my two favorites:

- something with the internal speakers/cables preventing it from making sound in a pseudo-random way (some positioning of the computer reliably triggers it, but there's no reliable position to have sound)

- lid detection sensor going crazy and putting systems to sleep because the screen has just moved a little... i can't explain to you how confused was the person who came to me with this problem that the laptop was going to sleep automatically and thought it was haunted or virused :) (and of course no BIOS option to disable the faulty sensor, we had to disable sleep mode on the OS)

Even the modern Ts (professional series) don't have a CDROM drive anymore. Being able to replace it with a second SSD/HDD was definitely a cool feature.

Huh? You didn't need to lock up your bike in The Hague?

In every city in the Netherlands I'm aware of, bikes get stolen aallll the time. Only in villages and other rural areas can you trust the environment to not steal your bikes. That's because everybody knows each other, there's no chance you're going to get away with stealing a bike, there's a lot of trust.

But in a city? Was it in the outskirts?
I'm looking for other jobs. There's a long history of the company screwing me over and eroding benefits. I'm applying to other jobs, some of them permanently remote, with potential compensation around 50% higher than my current job.

We have seen a lot of turnover this year. Many people have left for higher wages.

"Mid-level workers are thus getting more promos than usual."

I'm a midlevel. They want to give me a low rating because they said I'm slow. So no promo for me. I haven't seen promotions for others pick up either.

My guess would he that there is increased retirement attrition, which we are seeing at my company. I think there is also increased demand for technology (like online ordering, delivery service, and other pandemic related shifts).
Also, if any of you find problems with the Zed spec(s), we'd love to hear about them. "Now" would be a good time to make changes / fix flaws.
Exactly. The odds that any new research will find ivermectine effective are very low.

If the odds were higher, the government could grant monopoly rights to a willing pharma company. In fact they did this with another very old treatment for gout – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colchicine
One company was granted monopoly, they did studies, confirmed that cochicine is effective, gathered more information about safety. It also lead to significant price increase (2000%).

I don't think any serious pharma company would be willing to accept such an offer for ivermectine.
Sure, but on the return trip, you'd be heading home, so sweating should be no big deal.
I use 2021-10-24T10_45_32_123456. Never had to store non-UTC so I'm not sure how I'd notate that. I don't use dots for fractional seconds because while that shouldn't get interpreted as an extension, some systems still do.

The bike brigade is loose :)

I don't know how a bike-first city would feel, but biking is a serious bonus in one's life (granted you have safe space or a herd around you). So the more the merrier.
This happening organically is way better than any state-sponsored policy down the throats of everyone (which includes policies that end up making most traffic to become by cars instead of smaller vehicles or public transit, of course).

So just like the time required to create the COVID vaccines that are "safe" and "effective"?

Snark aside, I'm exhausted hearing how hard it is to do some things, but other's are "science" and don't warrant further exploration.
But if the linear key layout is better, why isn't it asdf?
And why is Covid not really a thing in subsaharan Africa where everyone takes ivermectin anyway, because it’s a marvelous antiparasitic drug.

You’d think the poorest parts of Africa with the worst medical systems in the world would be hit harder, but they’re not. And it’s probably not genetic since the African diaspora is hit hard by covid.
$12 per person per what unit of time? $12 gets you like three tablets. That's according to some claimed protocols enough to (probably) get you out of the hospital alive, but that's not a long-term preventative.

Meanwhile, the government pays about $20 per dose of the vaccine. The difference between $12 and $20 is not substantial.
At 37:00 she explicitly states the co-op has the authority through consensus to legally force someone off the commune (no mention of what happens to their shares, but I assume forfeiture).

One has to wonder what the rest of the US would look like if we could kick someone out of their neighborhood and force them to sell or give up their home simply because we didn’t like them. The possibility for authoritarian attitudes seems high.
> Imagine tax software (comercial or gov provided) refusing to work unless you use an OS with TPM support for "security reasons".

Luckilly, in the UK, gun ownership is rare. I will take note and adjust my expectations next time I'm the US.
There is no spike protein in the vaccine. There is mRNA. That mRNA needs ribosomes to make the spike protein. So think about where there are ribosomes, and where the protein is made, and you’ll find the correct answer.

I don’t know where you heard the second point, but it is equally incorrect. The mRNA encodes just the spike, with two mutations to lock it into a pre-fusion conformation. Nothing there that qualifies as a “larger stable base”. The sequence is found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210105162941/https://mednet-co...
I think your post needs a lot more research. Most Americans want to work. Most Americans want to have savings, own a home and a car, be in a relationship and have a family, etc.

Homelessness isn't the result of an outbreak of personal irresponsibility, nor is substance abuse [1] [2]. They're systemic failures. When opium overtook China in the early 19th century, it wasn't because suddenly everyone decided they'd throw caution to the wind.

It's nonsensical and leads to intense political problems (see: "Welfare Queens"). We put ordinary people into extraordinarily bad situations, and then we blame them for not being extraordinary enough to dig out.

The people saying ivermectin works are the same people saying hcq worked last year.

The people pushing the vaccine are the only people who have consistently been curing serious illnesses for the last 100 years.

The ivermectin group are the people who have been pushing snake oil for the last 1000 years and cured nothing.
They drank of the poisoned chalice of ad money. It is bad enough for most, but terrible for them because ads are worse information and search is about getting great information and making it useful.

Yes, you're right. It's faster not to have it, but that puts publishers at a disadvantage...Google reaps more revenue and gives less in return if it doesn't exist. Header bidding is often estimated to improve revenue by 10% or so for publishers.

The sequence was first employee probably said something like "make it slower if they aren't on AMP", and the second employee made some kind of suggestion to kill it altogether.
Thanks for sharing your experience. As a distro maintainer, do you have access to the complete datasheets of the entire laptop in order to provide decent drivers? Maybe even the source code of the reference Windows drivers?

If so, maybe you could "pressure" your contacts over at Lenovo to get them published once and for all so systems/distros can provide decent support?
I think Gunship are one of the few bands in this genre that are mostly using original synth hardware from the 80s. Not a cheap pursuit these days.

Yeah it's very common to hear "wanna buy this bike? It's yours for 10 our".. at a night out, in basically every city.

Heck, I know a homeless guy I talked to a couple of times and helped out with food and stuff, I know him by name. A couple months later I met him drugged of his ass on the Main Street, offering me a bike I'm like "nahh dude come on"

My pretty expensive bike got stolen at some point too :(
When solving a problem with a computer, there are any number of ways to do it, and it's not clear until later if any given approach has a "gotcha" that works strongly against it until after the fact. Over time, you're throwing more and more computer time, and programmer time, into feeding those gotchas.

So, you go back and dig out those gotchas, and try something else, it takes some time to understand what went wrong, and how to make it better without creating new and even hungrier gotchas. This process is called refactoring, and in the end it saves far more time and effort than it takes, but it requires concentration and time to do a good job, so please respect the closed office door, or other flag that I can't be interrupted right now when I'm refactoring.
Oh, FTR, none of my laptops had nVidia graphics. Intel graphics has always been Good Enough(tm) for my use case (travelling evangelist who presents at conferences and wants enough oomph for some demos on the laptop itself with virtualisation and/or containers).

This has largely been my experience as well, also using Fedora but I doubt that matters much. I rarely have issues, in comparison to the endless stream of ACPI and other hurdles other people seem to be going through with their laptops. Also LVFS is a godsend, I wish every vendor ever participated. I get updates even for my thunderbolt dock.
Look, stop. Just, stop.

You obviously know what you're doing, but I don't, and your "explanations" aren't helping. You're making me try to decode where everything comes from, and that takes a huge amount of time that I just don't have. I'm trying hard to understand this, but to me, with my currently non-understanding, it just looks like you're pushing stuff around, and it's hard to work out what you're doing.

So you need to stop trying to explain it like this, and probably you need to stop trying to explain it here. This is not a good forum to unpick things and explain them fully, and I don't have the time to play guessing games. I do have the time to step through a clear, precise, motivated explanation, but that won't happen here, and it won't happen quickly.

Email me, but don't try to tell me everything. You have the knowledge, but if you just dump it at me then I won't know where to start. Let me pull it from you, and I'll construct a document with my understanding of it.

I lived in Utrecht for a year and a half and I've been to The Hague a few times. I'm a little confused. I don't remember seeing things any different there than Utrecht and in Utrecht we definitely locked up our bikes. Or do you just not count the wheel locks that every typical Dutch bike has built in? Even those, you really just use if you're running in somewhere real quick. If you're going to leave your bike out somewhere for more than 15 minutes or so, you'd still chain it up. The big difference vs somewhere like NYC (where I lived previously), is that you don't necessarily need the biggest and toughest locks (unless you have a really nice bike, which will definitely still be at risk of being stolen) and that bike racks and secure places to lock your bike are much more frequent. Dutch bikes are also generally heavy and chunky and have all their components (lights, seat, etc) pretty securely attached. In NYC even if you locked your bike up, if you had a halfway decent seat, that would get stolen if you didn't take it with you.

One might want top-notch research, in case it reveals to you some way to maximize your own revenue that doesn't have the legal risk (which this very Twitter thread is related to). So they might have a true interest in the research, even if that's not how they're running things right now.

I am someone who uses Clojure a lot and understands transducers, but I would pretty much never consider transducers "idiomatic code".

The dose for prevention is a fraction of the dose for people already infected. Maybe per year? I don't know, I don't recall the details, but even so that's without the economies of scale that would intervene if it was a worldwide effort.

Re: vaccines, JP Morgan estimated Pfizer alone will make $100B from vaccines. I don't think manufacturing Ivermectin is complex enough that it would net ANY profit, the effort would be organized completely differently.

Lastly, I don't think this is a conspiracy, either for money or politics, going for vaccines was just the easiest sell for both people and governments, and doing anything different would have been extremely difficult (see Sweden and lockdown policies).
