Yes, and rather than admit this plainly observable fact, incorporate this new information, then base policy choices on what we now know, we still have "health officials" and politicians from one side of the aisle sticking their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, and shouting "Nah nah nah I can't hear you!" as they push illogical (and arguably wildly immoral) policies like vaccine mandates and perpetual masking and an overall unending bizarro world. I don't know how else to describe COVID anymore other than it's become the world's largest secular religion.
i was asking specifically about "US based employees should not have access to manage", which isn't necessarily the same thing as "not send/store any personal data outside the EU". You could have data stored inside the EU, but then saying no US-based employees can have access to it seems like another further requirement? Although it may be one under GDPR? But that's what I meant asking for more info about, sorry!
Web monetization, the standard, is supposed to cover that precise use case. Sadly it's not exactly popular.

Head's up - You might be one of the people detracting from your team's standup.
Being poor is a separate problem that is solved by giving someone money to not be poor. Assuming one wants to solve the problem of poorer people.

It has nothing to do with accurately pricing externalities. Of course, wealth transfers are extremely politically unpopular.

In the ideal world there would be marginal sales taxes, but that seems infeasible in the near future. Although, not inconceivable if everyone’s purchases were being tracked.
Hah, sure (some) cars and homes) but that’s cheating, some assets will of course be timeless. Sure also (some) watches and cameras are too but they’re disproportionately expensive :D

If you want to a deeper dive on some of these recent studies showing the waning effect of the vaccines, Chris Martenson did a video on a couple yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnB8Tep92Us

The main conclusions from these recent studies

* Vaccines don't lower transmission rate in households
* Vaccines drop below 50% effectiveness at reducing severe infection after 6 months (with a sharper drop for just reducing infection)

We may end up with mandates for boosters every six months. Unfortunately this will increase the side effects from vaccination: it would have been nice to pay that cost only once every several years instead of every 6 months.

There is also the issue that vaccine immunity is not as effective as nature immunity. It's not clear how much of a problem this is if one can keep getting boosters, but it's something that needs more research. Once someone is on vaccines their immune response is going to be focused on the spike protein whereas a natural response will include antibodies to other parts of the virus.

Trust your people! Otherwise don't hire them in the first place.

You want to deploy something to prod? Okay, either call an API or fill out a webform (or message a Slack bot idk) - but the contents will be a checklist of stuff you need to have done.

1. Did you [load test, integration test, whatever]

2. Did your local architect look over and approve the high-level design? (NB: notice how we aren't requiring an architect to sign off, we trust the developer. Because if they lie they're fired lol.)

3. Other stuff. Maybe some taxonomic stuff like tags associated with deployed infrastructure? Swagger endpoints? Go nuts as long as it's stuff actually needed by central planning - the documentation and paper trail aspect is covered here

This is picked up to be ingested into databases, wikis, emails, wherever.

Compare with my last large corp where we had change approval boards where 25+ people sat in a long meeting and essentially just asked if you'd done the above and you'd then be greenlit to go to prod (at the time deployments were pretty manual and required scheduling as well which is obviously suboptimal). I'm just about to move from a small consulting company to a startup/scaleup so it's going to be interesting to see how things move there..

> Vaccine efficacy is against severe COVID illness, not against transmission.

Since children have very little chance of a severe COVID infection, why the push to vaccinate them then?
>That makes a huge difference because most of the cost of atomic energy is in upfront construction. At 1.4% interest, about the minimum for infrastructure projects in places like China or Russia, nuclear power costs about $42 per megawatt-hour, far cheaper than coal and natural gas in many places. At a 10% rate, at the high end of the spectrum in developed economies, the cost of nuclear power shoots up to $97, more expensive than everything else.

>“People say nuclear is expensive in the West, but they forget to say it’s expensive because of interest rates,” Morin said.

I don't recall the exact figures, but I believe it wasn't spectacular.

Moreover, now that Delta is a thing, aren't the ethical issues nonetheless present.
I think everybody accepts it as a fact that polio vaccine never gave any advantage concerning, for example, influenza.

Then, why would we expect that a vaccine against the original strain of the Covid 19 virus works as well against a new variant?
That is really just rewriting history (see my comment below about some of the original studies from the trials). Vaccines were presented as having an efficiency of around 90% after the second dose - meaning that only around 8% of people (for Pfizer) in the trials actually got sick, all the graphs and charts from the beginning of the year were about this. The fact that now we are rewriting the history books will not help at all in the trust of the public, especially the ones that still didn't get it.
I did for non-invasive devices that were mostly class I + II. Even for those 1-2 years is very fast. Larger manufacturers might be quicker, but it is the time you should calculate with at minimum.

I think the state of emergency allows to cut the time short, because these are very short time frames for clinical trials.

And if what we were/are being sold is reduced severe illness then that seems like a personal issue and the mandates don't make sense.

I get it, if beds are in use by severely ill Covid patients that means less beds for others... then let the bed owners decide how they wish to allocate bed usage, just like some doctors are refusing to see non vaccinated patients.
> Best approach I've seen is an asynchronous yesterday/today standup via slack.

Did you have luck not falling into the "Yesterday I worked on X, today I will also work on X" trap in desperate attempt to find something to write? Synchronous standups regularly suffer the same problem, in fairness.

Best approach I have seen is to simply not have meetings until there is something worth meeting over. They can actually productive when they have intent behind them, not because the calendar said it is time for one.
you completely misunderstand the concept of "do no harm" (which in itself wasn't a particularly good concept).

I'm not even going to comment on your claims about mortality rates for vaccine in young people.
If there's anything you enjoy, there's a journalist out there ready to lecture you about it.
Committing crimes without getting caught is also how you can become a board director. There are other ways too obviously. Mostly wage theft, anti competitive crimes or some embezzlement. The kind of crimes privileged people would commit.
It's not random detonation that is the problem, the issue is containment failures, or anything that causes one. A collision, or stress fracture for example will allow oxygen into the tank. In an atmosphere with enough oxygen in it like ours, that's always a risk.
A bank is given an allocation to sell at IPO, the IPO roadshow before the IPO is where potential investors have the chance to buy an IPO allocation at the IPO price. This price can move up and down to manage/stimulate demand. On the IPO day, these shares are allocated to investors. They can then hold them or sell part or all of their allocation. Those investors who did not get allocated shares can then buy them on the market causing them to pop.
Yay, 13USD x team size to keep a simple architecture diagram up to date. Enterprises are rich, I get it, but tools like this should cost max 0.50USD/user/month. Or even better, someone should bundle several tens of these kind of tools and sell them for a single enterprise license. Effectively that is what M$ is doing of course, it offers all of github/devops/azure in a single subscription, so that is what I get to use.

Even though I might prefer pivotal tracker or zenhub, codecov, readthedocs or whatever, no way I am going through the hassle of getting all these 5-15/USD/user/month services paid for one by one. But if they were all bundled in a single subscription I might reconsider
Line and block comments in JSON configuration files FTW! Not sure when I'd use this project, though.
Thanks for the link. Interesting that they only use active air conditioning a few days per year. I wonder what that means for humidity levels.
Aerogel is too heavy. The resulting infusion will achieve neutral buoyancy at best.

> don’t prevent transmission much at all

Where does this come from? I'd previously heard that these vaccines do a pretty good job of curbing transmission. Or rather, a number like 30% efficacy (of preventing transmission) is really good for vaccines.
You haven't lived until a dragon apologizes for stepping on you at a furry night club.
What we were sold, specifically? One of the challenges to the way this has been been politicized is that the original claims (high efficacy against serious cases, imprecise but substantial efficacy against spread, both of which have held up quite well) were often drowned out by people making much stronger claims for political reasons such as they didn't work at all, or that failing to instantaneously stop the pandemic even at vaccination rates far below the target threshold meant the approach had failed.
It appears AMD Dedicated is coming (see my EDIT comment above). If they're able to offer dedicated at the similar price points to other regions, it would be truly amazing.
If a restaurant asks me to not talk with my partner while I’m eating there, I’ll just chose to not eat there.

I’m vaccinated. I’ve done my part. It seems like new restrictions and rules are forever escalating, and will continue to do so past any reasonable point.

> Sprawl allows the middle class to continue to exist. More people, more property taxes, more fuel taxes, more money for roads.

City B often has significantly higher infrastructure costs[0] than City A, while generating fewer tax receipts[1]. This is only possible because City A is picking up the bill for City B; after all if you’re consuming more and paying less, someone else has to be picking up the difference. Those extra trips are generating sales tax and gas tax, yes, but usually not enough to cover the cost of the road.

Sprawl and the suburbs aren’t the generators of wealth and prosperity as you imply, but rather the thing we’ve decided to spend our wealth and prosperity on. You in fact have cause and effect backwards: it’s not that sprawl created enough economic activity to happen for a middle class to form, but rather enough economic activity existed elsewhere in order for the middle class to be able to live in suburban sprawl.

There's might be some ancillary issue on the backend. Something like that they changed backup formats, but can't reformat the customer's existing backups because of E2EE, so they need the customer to power up their laptop so the client can reformat the backups. That would explain why the client doesn't work, and why they're so keen to have them do a new backup.

It wouldn't have been unreasonable to move away from SHA1 in that time period, for example. They may have needed the original files to get a SHA256 hash.

I think it must have been blocking some organizational objective. I can't think of any reason why they would bother to send that email, much less to go all the way to the CTO to send that email.
Those experiences are often absurdly expensive because the demand for them is already high.
> it’s meant to be self funded and it cannot meet its financial obligations

Since when are public services required to be self funded? Are the army, police or DMV self funded? And don't their obligations included obviously biased ( in favour of painting the post office as a financially ruinous institution and privatise/dismantle it) provisions for full pensions of future employees, which nobody else does, anywhere?
Who is this for? "Architects"? Developers? CTOs?

No because vaccination still reduces the risk of severe disease and hospitalizations.
This is the blog equivalent of a business book: long text to pad out a simple insight.

Isn’t everyone using something like a slack standup bot? We get the advantage of the daily “did this, will do that, no blockers” in a highly distributed team.
Any taxation aside from super progressive tax schemes that top out at 90% and more would disproportionally impact the poor. But is our goal to destroy the rich (so poor can consume more) or is it to lower overall consumption?

That'd push to fix suburbanisation and make mass transit cool again. Or enforce remote work.
If you don’t have anything interesting to say daily then how often would a stand up occur ? Biweekly? Weekly?

I agree with your general sentiment, but I don't see why we should expect "machines and complex systems" (as related to life) to exist at the level below molecules and atoms. If that was the case then we should expect otherwise identical organic molecules to have differences when they're created by living things and synthesis in the lab (ok, ok, there's chirality and carbon-14, but you get what I mean).
Remove the obfuscating jargon like Fed, fiat currency and capitalism and you’ll see they basically gave a land monopoly to the aristocrats.

Where have we heard this one before?

It shouldn’t be a huge shock to see how most of these business winners also come from family that came to the US right after the world wars or in the last few years (Musk, Theil…)

Once the dollar stops being a viable value store for the masses, a few billionaires won’t be able to keep their claims to land all over. The 800,000 sworn officers in the US can’t stop 300 million and are probably more beholden to a check (10k cops threatened to quit in nyc over vax mandates; 34 did) than a distant rich guy.

Their Achilles heel is none of the bankers in cities own the banks anymore.

I’m not advocating for civil war; just contextualizing reality. They only have power if you see it as such. Reality is much different.

Legally they own things but science allows us to see they’re just people. We have no obligation to believe the meme they own our society.

When only 5% of people hunt, and the rich will lose if they can’t pay for allegiance, we’re all literally dependent on our logistical systems. Letting them fail is mutually assured destruction all the way down.

But to some extent I don’t blame them; have you seen how dim the typical American is?
The bad developers won't, the good ones will. It's going to be very lucrative to know your stuff when nobody understands what the no code approach is doing under the hood.

The issue is more complex than that. Imagine you are responsible for the lives of millions of citizens. You will probably do whatever you can to minimize the risk (of transmission, severe cases, deaths).

For people in charge, the most powerful tool today is the vaccine as there is no universal 100%-efficient cure yet. They will encourage everyone to vaccinate as this is basically the only thing they can do, in spite of its efficiency being much lower than expected. The alternatives are limiting various freedoms of citizens up to extreme forms like in Australia.
Sorry if this was unclear - the article was mainly trying to show that the basic ideas behind SOLID could be used in other, non-OO languages. The original SOLID still works just fine and hasn't changed much in Java, from what I can tell.
High inflation can be a good thing, if you're working and in debt.

The key worries are that the people with large assets overreact and you end in Nazi Germany (which was directly correlated with the austerity brought in by the rich to 'fix' inflation)

These appear to be carbon-capture CH4 extraction projects.

And, as in Utah, they seem to be planning to burn the hydrogen mixed into CH4 to drive turbines. The storage appears to be pumping H2 into existing CH4 wells, although it is hard to tell. I am anyway still not seeing any big H2 fuel cell projects, never mind solar/wind -> H2 -> fuel cell.

I grant that I'm assuming you also think justice exists. But if you do, I think that you'd have to grant that justice itself is not material. The fact that you can know it, even though it's not material, suggests that your mind is also immaterial.
I wish they used more honest language. He was jailed for an 18-second clip he posted to Facebook. That means he was jailed for insulting them, disparaging them, or threatening them (though no threats are mentioned), not "abusing".
The fact that its daily makes it like that. We do weekly meetings with biz then break off into our weekly dev meeting where we strategize. Valuable information gets communicated and we have no daily standups. If people need to talk, they use the group chat app or email or the phone. IMO, daily standup is a cultish ritual that rarely has value. Incoming downvotes!
Unbundling the Database
This describes a special case; most data goes stale quickly.
We have progressive tax (which is complicated in itself, as you pay different rates on each paycheck, so, the first N amount, you pay 0% (bit it's not called that, ofc), then up to the next N, you pay some other percentage, and of the money after that N up to the next, you pay yet another percentage).

Then we have for some reason, chosen to subsidize banks, by letting people not pay tax on the percentage of money they pay to the bank that constitutes the interest. Then there are a million other factors that might influence it..

On top of that, you're not actually only taxed for the amount of money you earn in a year, you're taxed by the amount of money you thought, last year, that you were going to earn this year.. and there's more, that I am ignorant about, because I just.. accept that it's a black box and either receive or pay the money they ask at the end of the tax year.
depends what you read when vaccines came out. I dod not see any claims from scientific sources that vaccines stopped transmissions. Those claims came from the politicians and corporate media

Which work orders? Which PRs? How much progress? Are they harder than expected? Easier? Any blockers? Anything that could help?

Standup isn’t just for managers. It’s for ICs to also communicate their needs, obstacles, concerns, or even just give everyone a heads up that a certain task is more difficult than expected. If you’re just searching for the bare minimum to say to get your manager to move on to the next person, it’s a waste. It’s only a few minutes, so take advantage of it for some quick bidirectional communication.

Your blocker can be used by another opportunist to talk garbage solution. It makes the opportunist appear as if they are doing something that the blocked engineer isn't doing.

The blocked engineer could counter - but it will quickly devolve unless one side concedes.
