@sightlessKombat: If the game's numbers are accurate, after 28 hours, 14 minutes and 20 seconds... I have completed #TheLastOfUsPartII on Grounded, earning 100% of the trophies... All without any sight whatsoever.
Thanks to @Naughty_Dog for the #accessibility features that let me achieve this.

On a site I used to run, there was no content which needed protection. So, it was not much of a pain except that there would be a lot of bot- filled contact forms. Slowly the problem became severe enough that bandwidth fees started becoming an issue. Finally had to use cloudflare in the front to reduce bandwidth usage. It worked but the side-effect was that some valid users may now get blocked.
Not if you’re single with little means and motivation to socialize.
Culturally, I think choosing to embrace being overweight rather than perceive it as a problem to solve by eating food higher in quality and lower in quantity is a large contributor. People who develop unhealthy food habits and are unwilling to view those habits as unhealthy are going to become increasingly overweight.
I know this is dangerous political territory, but my understanding is that neither would object reunification on their terms, and see themselves as the 'true' China [1]. The same was the case for Germany. Things just became so bad in eastern Germany that the government there accepted unconditional reunification in order to avoid total collapse.

[1] not sure how true this is these days for Taiwan, but it definitely was the case historically.
Your personal CPI can go up disproportionately to the country at large. Anyone living in a city center will experience this as cities gentrify.
In the game industry, working yourself to death for 4 days, that's called a hot fix ;)
It makes perfect sense. That is not required for my argument to make sense, 30% of healthcare costs is staggering, and absolutely could result in higher costs or worse outcomes for others.

And a spike from one particular cause does not necessarily lead to a shortage. If a few extra patients start getting covid and then there is a bed shortage, then fewer overweight people in there might also have prevented the shortage.

Look, it's for the greater good. No use arguing against it unless you hate grandma and Science™.
I don't disagree with you. I was just stating that Google is absolutely horrible whereas Apple at least let's us developers talk to a human being.
This biggest hinderance to adoption of UBI (imho) is the fact that nobody will want to 'volunteer' as the 'servant' class... I mean some will, most who would will do it part-time, most people probably could get by without restaurants. It'd be painful, maybe communities work together and form communal kitchens where people take turns making meals, and maybe they get tipped for the effort...

I'd rather not have the options to eat at places where people hate working, if it meant that person could have a better life, I'd be bummed when I'm craving something, but I'd find an alternative.

The wealthiest people and upper class they probably couldn't survive if the only option was cooking something themselves. They'd probably end up hiring a personal chef for 500k/year, or something elaborate... There's so many jobs the top levels would never volunteer to do, not even just for a podcast or something. Dirty jobs or jobs that just suck.

I consider these jobs basically modern forced servitude. Make no mistake you are forced unless you like being homeless and starving.

I'm anxiously watching what happens, something has to balance out soon. It happened in the 1920s, and I think 60 years earlier... we're just do for a great re-balancing. It won't be pretty, and it'll be harder than any before it (global warming and all) but if we succeed, maybe post-scarcity could be in reach.
I don't know what their proposal was, but replace "fat" with "unvaccinated" in your response and you'll see what they (likely) were getting at. The logic of "you must get vaccinated to protect the vaccinated" eludes me, since I thought the vaccinated are already protected from severe disease (though crucially not from infection or transmission) irrespective of anyone else's vaccination status.

Full disclosure: I'm overweight. 14kg down from where I was a year ago, with another 10kg or so to go. I'm baffled that NIH/CDC said literally nothing about this issue as it relates to COVID since the beginning of the pandemic. One would think 18+ months is a sufficient amount of time to lose at least some weight, and thereby reduce the risk.

Why is it called a Trojan horse instead of a Greek horse?
This is great advice. And I completely relate, after two years of working on Jazz (one pretty seriously), I can say that I feel like I'm being born again as a Pianist. It's extremely challenging and for me, all the classical luggage that I carry has made some things harder (swing, articulation).

My biggest leap in jazz so far, was to stop thinking about chord-scale relations and just focusing on chord-tones and extensions to outline the harmony of a piece, and approach notes to connect them.

I listen to a ton of jazz (nothing else but Jazz for a while). I've been transcribing Charlie Parker for a whole year, really working on his phrasing, heads, articulation, getting deep.

Disclaimer, I still think I'm terrible. My goal is to be somewhere less terrible in a couple more years... but I know I won't feel like that when I get there :D

PS: Get a great teacher, that's the biggest thing you can do to help yourself. Crazy good cats available for lessons these days.
There are diminishing returns as well. After a certain point there's no added benefit to put more stuff in the sky, hence not exponential.
Is there any evidence for these sorts of downstream effects from past privacy-friendly platform changes? I don't see evident ones that aren't confounded.
I don't think use of the word "radiation" is as necessary as you may be suggesting for the purpose of technical specificity. In fact it is a very broad word. Visible light is radiation.

Oddly enough it isn't for me. I use Quickbooks and Turbo Tax.

They must have rung me through the ringer. It was ultimate stress.
Didn’t someone in CIA claim they had all the data that could uncover the attack plan, just didn’t have enough analysts for that to have happened?

If that is true then increasing surveillance would not change a thing, at the end data collected will just sit there untouched, or waiting to be abused.
Most people choose one sacrifice over another. Some you could say chose the wrong sacrifice and it was not for their own or others good.

There are a few who have had no choice at all. To them should we use our strength to protect.

> By the way the difference is that Rust is not a standard, thus is easier to evolve (the process is much shorter).

Another thing is ABI.

C and C++ are ABI-stable, which means that many historic mistakes (intmax_t, std::regex, polymorphic allocators) are impossible to fix.

Rust only promises source compatibility, not ABI compatibility, so it has a lot more freedom to tweak its design.

Year.

I think inflation was pretty steady up until about 2019. Then it went insane.

If I had to pick an average, 3 or 4% until aforementioned year.
> If I'm understanding you, you don't personally believe in "banning overweight people from civil society"

Correct.

> but you want to propose it to make a point about how much of a "horrific, dystopian, nasty, bullying attitude" you think the belief in vaccine mandates are, and how if one believes the anti-vaccinated should be restricted then it's effectively equivalent?

Much the same arguments made for bullying and coercing people to getting unwanted medical procedures can be used for either, yes.

> Seems like an reductio ad absurdum fallacy to me,

Why? What is any more absurd about it? 30% of health expenditure is a staggering cost to society. This is not just meh no big deal like the common cold, it's a real cost borne by everyone. And as we see, when they do get covid they get much more complications from it, which makes covid spikes more problematic too. Why can obesity be so easily brushed aside but not people who choose not to be vaccinated from covid?
Not really. I grew up in a third world country and despite poverty, one can eat healthy.
What's so fascinating to me, is that the current opiate epidemic is largely centered in the US, as we bear the majority of the deaths. That attitude of Drs. over-prescribing, it definitely happened in the US, to various degrees in different places, and not that long ago.

Docs in the US tend to think they are above being marketed to, but Purdue Pharma knew better, and they paid their drugs reps a ton to go out to "everytown US" and convince doctors that they had made a non-addicting opiate. Enough docs bought it, and here we are.

How did they do? Well, 20 years ago drug reps used to be able to take doctors on trips: to sports games, to see the dog races, to museum trips, the price of a day trip with you and one or two loved ones was to sit through an hour (or two) lecture by a rep that convinced you to to prescribe a drug. Not a bad deal!

There were complex reasons why the opiate crisis started, but the environment was ripe for an upstart company like Purdue to come in, reformulate an old opiate, pretend the addiction problem isn't there, then sell a miracle drug because opiates are extremely effective short term analgesics. Long term, we're still paying for it!

I've looked a lot into the opiate crisis, and it's a pretty bad stain on the US medical institution, particularly our medical science. We fucked up.
> I found that I was a lot less likely to overeat when I ate few carbs.

I’ve been doing Keto (very-low carb, high fat) for 8 years now. For me, it simply helped that I was far more conscious about what I was eating.

But I still overeat when making any kind of Keto-"Pizza"
> Article doesn't say anything about ventilation in the interior either. The building sounds like a covid spreading hellhole.

Even aside from the spread of pathogens (not to mention molds, mildews, and fungus infestations), unless they are extremely careful about the materials that go into the rooms and their furnishings (ie. no cheap particle board or plywood bookshelves or desks allowed, not to mention scented air fresheners, candles, aerosols, perfumes, colognes, and cleaning products), the whole building is likely to come down with sick building syndrome:

Homer : Uh-huh, and how does it work?

> our government thought at least 20 years ahead, they'd be trying to stimulate the birth rate, boost manufacturing, and they'd clamp down on the borders.

it is hubris to think that mere mortals can predict complex chaotic systems 20 yrs ahead.

I think allowing people the freedom to choose and let individuals make the best choices available to them is really the only "good" way forward. Planning an economy, or planning population growth, as seen done in the past, had not ever worked out.
The paper was conclusive but the BODY of work does not in the majority agree, given the link. There is no consensus, yet. Also,
"The study has not yet been peer reviewed" so maybe take it with a grain of salt.

Is your latter conclusion re herd immunity being impossible supported by the literature, or at least a mathematical model? If R0 goes below zero the community is protected. The vaccinated fraction might have to be large in order for this to happen, but that's also the case for the measles. You're stating that it doesn't matter what this fraction is, even if one person isn't vaccinated they're eventually going to get infected.
And conferences also have limited capacity - arguably more son than journals, that could just choose to add more pages.

100% this but the macroeconomics of it are simple, by pushing low interest housing and food goes up astronomically so the economy ends up with the backbone of the labor force (>$20/hr) being priced out of everything.

The only fast solution here is subsidizing living which many governments are doing but it won't fix the problem they created in the first place and now they have to deal with either dramatically raising rates and saddling the people with horrendous debt due to bond yields and defaulting, etc or riding it out and lying about real inflation with small raises.

I never suggested it was necessary for the purpose of technical specificity, what on earth gave you that idea?
Really?

Last I saw we just surrendered to the Taliban, freed 5000 of them including the current leader, the insurgency is now the de-facto government of Afghanistan, and we recently had a high profile journalist hacked to pieces with a hand saw in an embassy and didn't do a damn thing about it.

How is the war on terror "essentially won" in your eyes?

Also, for your bit about being hard to believe - the agency reported it themselves, so you're essentially saying you believe nothing except that which conforms to your existing world view. Not sure what to say about that.
What I think is that it's completely a lie to misinform American consumers to not freak out.

Payment processors charge around 3% plus fees (charge back fees and transaction fees). I think the value that Roblox adds makes them deserve much more than a measly 2% more than a generic payment processor would get.

15 or 20% is probably a good middle ground
> As long as you're willing to adapt your compositions to the instruments you have available

I've seen SNES and DS games whose sample sets handle staccato and sharp attacks better than the average soundfont out there. The cover I posted is worse than the original DS game in this aspect. I assume the Kontakt factory library is competent enough to get this right though.

I assume sample packs can't handle wide pitch bends and precise vibrato that well either. Synthesis is probably better, but the pricing I've seen is insane (but probably justified considering the complexity of simulating acoustic instruments).
That's a contrived definition of "healthier". In any case

>I might go worship there too

Therein lies the issue. Worship of science is a vehicle for dogma. Even if the worship is implicit. Science is not beyond reproach, and to presume that laymen are unable to notice inconsistencies or holes in official doctrine is no better than forbidding peasants from reading or interpreting scripture. The same forces are at work, at a time when covid literature is freely available, but only one consensus is socially, morally acceptable. The science is far from settled; it cannot be so quickly after development of a new and complex technology.

It took some 5 years before thalomide was found to cause birth defects. We just injected custom designed partial viral RNA into billions of people. To pretend vehemently that we've solved such a complex problem safely on the first try is hubris, and Pfizer et al are immune from legal liability, as negotiated with the US government.

You think only tobacco and petroleum companies are capable of manipulating data and publishing misleading literature in pursuit of profits? They don't need to outright lie, just gradually massage their models and constantly adjust, and look at that, 2 years into this virus 2 weeks has turned, unironically, into 3 booster shots. There's no reason to blindly trust that these vaccines are safe long term. They'd have a tough time getting approved at all without emergency authorization given the current known side effects.
Land (especially desirable land near good jobs) is in far more limited supply than people willing to immigrate to the US. Zoning and other regulations not withstanding.
BTW, this article explains how Rust releases work:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html

It's a release train, similar to that used by Chromium and Firefox.

Edition releases (e.g. Rust 2021) are reserved for breaking changes only, and to retain Rust's stability promise, are opt-in.
I agree with this. This is what I see on a lot of sites I scrape. Reverse engineering the JS to figure out how the fuck the token was generated is a bitch though.
It would help to make water more tradable in California and get proper prices. Right now, a lot of agricultural water is of the use-it-or-lose it variety.

I'm not sure about the situation in Israel. I know that Australia had some very good experience with water markets that helped them grow their agricultural productivity despite long droughts.
I have a similar experience. A gf first told me that I was too negative, and then a friend when working on a side project. Both event made me think a lot about it. I’m still working on it but this really makes me think that feedback, as much as I hate receiving it, does improve people.
One thing that really helped me was to see my team mates be shaped by my output.

I'm known to be a very cynical person. Have been since I was a kid.

It's never really ever been an issue because I've known how to balance my interactions. However I noticed when I became a lead, that some of my team members were emulating me.

However they were emulating the incredibly cynical side of my communication, and glossing over the constructive criticism and thought I'd put in to my communications.

Suddenly, everything started spiraling into negativity. Code reviews, feedback on work, repsonse s to cool new tech...

Off hand one day, one of my team mates mentioned how they were trying to emulate my critical approach but were getting resistance, where I was not.

I started analyzing it with them and realized that I'd inadvertently fostered a negative environment. My own communication wasn't negative, but people often cling to the cynical because it makes them feel stronger.

You see this everywhere. From hot takes dismissing new things, to people tearing media to shreds like CinemaSins etc ... It's easy to be negative and cynical.

Anyway since then I've tried to try and be more positive in my posting to outweigh the cynicism. I'll still provide the critical feedback, but I try and push more positive words in, and I see it having a good impact on how people around me also compose themselves.

Anyway point being...I think it took seeing a reflection of the worst of me, to have me try and work to put forward the me I thought I was putting forward.
On occasion, when I was first studying CS back in the mid-80s, our Engineering Computer Network lab would have all the glass ttys (vt100, etc…) occupied, and if I wanted to get any work done, then I’d have to log in at the hard-copy teletype and use programs like ‘xed’ instead of ‘vi’ to edit my code.

I don’t recommend it.
I live in Calgary and all the complaints about housing sounded ridiculous to me. Then I read about PEI's housing shortage and suddenly realized that I was probably in my own bubble.
> Watermelons have a decently hard outer casing and make a great store for water.

Each water melon only stores a few litres of water. That's not a lot to make a difference.
Sure, maybe one Jack isn't a big deal, but what about 1000 Jacks? How much economic output would 58,000 thousand early deaths be in a year where we have a labour shortage and a supply chain crisis on our hands?

Jack might not be the best example of "raw human talent", but people like him contribute to the economy that are hard to measure, and of equal worth to anyone else.

I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't compare lives, but I guess we could compare economic value, and for the thousands in lost lives, even working the most menial jobs, that's still tremendous worth in a country where our birth rate is shrinking faster than ever.
I guess people make projects like this to show off on their CV, and they’re worried that bad code could have the opposite effect. That said, in hiring, I don’t mind seeing bad code - it gives us a talking point about the constraints involved, and how you’d improve it.
Was gonna reply w/ something like this but we did have a few... Germans invaded near the statue of liberty and blew shit up (ww1).... and Pearl Harbor...those were technically acts of war, but amounts to the same, and the sinking of the Luscitania...

But, for the most part America has been safe before and after the one isolated event of 9/11 and there's no proof that anything we've done since has made us safer (likely it's had the opposite effect by stirring up animosity).
It's pretty clear, just read Foone's twitter feed. He feels that HN "steals links" (their words). Google "OH FUCK ME I'M ON HACKER NEWS AGAIN" for the full twitter feed.

They don't particularly like HN, for lots of reasons. JWZ feels the same way, which is why JWZ looks at the HTTP referrer for all links that were posted on HN and redirects those links to an image of a testicle.
“This is a feature” commonly signifies a design decision intended to be marketable as a desirable for the user.

The number of weightlifters who compute their BMI and then think, "Oh, no, it turns out I'm obese" must be approximately zero.

The number of people who are going to get a caliper test done or a water displacement test, outside of elite athletes, is again approximately zero.

The number of people who are overweight or obese and don't realize and could discover it using just two pieces of easily available information is more than I could count in my lifetime, working 24/7.
