Based on this, it should be expected that the 2% figure you quoted would increase over time. I would say in Australia a lot of people are still in the "honeymoon phase" of immunity where it hasn't started to significantly wane amongst the population of the fully vaccinated.
Congresscritters voted. They are most definitely not “we”.
This loosely reminds me of the way the pages of Cornell Notes are structured. I wonder if it has anything to do with that.
Yeah, your bitcoin remark is totally dumb, but the idea of funding wikipedia by perpetual endowment consisting of some blend of stock and bond index funds is a good one. And indeed, they could have already created an endowment to fund wikipedia in perpetuity, if they didn't ramp up their spending to match their revenue every year.
It's time MSFT got over its NIH mindset.

ext4 filesystems are well-documented, as are lots of other filesystems. There is no reason at all (apart from Windows lock-in, that is) that MSFT could not provide filesystem drivers for all of those other filesystems.
> We've tried hiring in these locations (Italy and Spain) with some success, but it's pretty tough because the talent pool is so small.

Are you at Facebook? Because local talent doesn't matter as much. It's not like the Dublin or London office relies on local talent. I've had tons of colleagues from Romania move there. And when they get there, there are a ton of folks from India, Ukraine, China, Estonia, whatever, a huge chunk of them freshly arrived from their home countries.

If Facebook would go to Spain and Italy, even in the more expensive cities, salaries would be so huge that they would completely dwarf the higher cost of living compared to the rest of the country. But places like Madrid or Lisbon would still be cheaper than for example, London. And with definitely better weather :-)
> All the qualified Canadians move to the USA for USA incomes

This is patently untrue. See how well Shopify is doing in Canada.

> Canada is going to be an immigration station for people companies want to bring in but can't get US visas for. Its already a thing.

This is true though!

Few things I have always wanted in a search engine -

- Filter out news/SEO'd sites. Better if by default.
- Specialized categories - software dev, real estates, travel, garden, finance, ....
- More weight on verifiable authors. Eg. blogs, publications, good quality social media posts (quora, reddit, linkedin), etc.
- Geo-temporal-social context in search. Able to navigate results by time and space easily.

Also, might be good to have search engine interface be like an app than a website. The secret search features should be upfront and interact-able.
This is correct. We tried for months to convince headset manufacturers to support Linux so that we could run Simula on them, but to no avail.

Agreed it's definitely stressful from a financial/business standpoint (hardware is really tough), and unfortunately the first iteration of our headset will be really expensive (since we have no leverage to bring unit costs down from our suppliers).

That being said: https://imgur.com/RMktWuj.png
Best growth hack: add a link to Google below your first results page. That way, more people will use your engine as their first choice, because they can easily fall back on their previously preferred search engine.

Is more tax really being paid or is it simply that freelancers become responsible for paying employer payroll taxes?

In the US both employees and employers pay social security contributions. Going freelance here means you must pay both of these, double the amount an employee would see withheld from their paycheck. But it's not an extra tax. The government is still getting the same amount of money in total.

As a freelancer you need to set your rates appropriately to account for the payroll tax, PTO, etc. that would be paid if you were an FTE.
I've been to and through Chattanooga a bunch of times. It is a city where you almost definitely need a car for basic subsistence.

The poor areas are super poor and semi-distant from goods and services. Biking somewhere from the poor areas, unless you have time and energy to spare, is going to be a big undertaking most of the time, not even accounting for the hills.

Some quick points:

> 233 patients

Very small, can't generalize results based on such a small number. Doesn't mean the study's trash or anything, but don't jump to any conclusions here - good or bad.

> "The trial, which had all patients stopping antidepressants before participating, compared two active doses of COMP360, 25mg and 10mg, against a comparator 1mg dose."

- COMP360 was, I assume, their therapeutic psilocybin but it's unknown if that differs from raw psilocybin or not, and if so in what way.

- Did they TEST and PROVE discontinuation of antidepressants at all stages of the trial? Which kinds of antidepressants did they test for? SSRI? TCA? MAOI? How did they test? Uranalysis? Blood? Or did they just take 233 people's word for it?

> "[...] 179 patients reported at least one adverse event — the most common being headaches, nausea, fatigue and insomnia."

- Likely unrelated to the medication itself, as those can be caused by hundreds (thousands) of factors. Literally included in every possible side effect list for nearly every medication known to exist. Doubtful that the medication caused any of these.

> "There were 12 patients who reported more serious adverse events, such as suicidal behavior, intentional self-injury, and suicidal ideation."

- Do we know how many experienced which specific "serious adverse event"? Was it 11 ideations and 1 behavior that could be interpreted as self-injury, for example?

- Do we know for certain that none of these 12 had any of those adverse events occur in the last few months prior to starting the medication?

---

Again, I'm not crapping on this at all here, but folks should take it with a grain of salt and realize there's more to this, that only 12 adverse events isn't a significant concern unless we can show with high confidence that it was caused by the therapy, and at only 5%, even then it sounds like manageable risk as long as a prescriber would know the patient's history before hand.

OK, I’ll bite. Pray tell, what is this objective thing that you call “the truth”? Imagine you are responding to a worldly 70-something who has lived a rich and full life and who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. So, what is “the truth”? Try not to be trite.
I think that just means revenue sharing with developers that use their engine. Not that surprising.
I already have privacy from Startpage and DuckDuckGo. What I don't have is personal knowledge of whether your search engine is any damn good. Until I find out, I'm not likely to install your extension.

(And fwiw, I use Startpage every day without needing an extension for it.)
Sorry about that! https://github.com/tailscale/pam. I'll edit the talk markdown when I get back home.
A mix of sources (e.g. a few solar and wind plants in different locations) overcomes much of the intermittency and storage issues. It usually requires upgrades to the grid and beyond that just some careful management of the (less regular) intermittency issues (whether storage or alternative sources on demand).

One plant should not be judged on its intermittency alone. Its just not how the system works at a connected-grid scale.
What does he call 'misinformation'?
> Very small, can't generalize results based on such a small number.

This comes up pretty often, but how many subjects do you need to know getting punched in the face hurts? It's absolutely possible to get statistically significant data from 233 patients, what matters is how the study is designed.

The USA hasn't done much better at delivering nuclear reactors on time or on budget in the last 3 decades: Vogtle, VC Summer, Bellefonte, for example. The only reactors to come online in that time is Watts Barr 1 and 2 and Comanche Peak 2 all of which started construction in the 1970s.

The comment says /parody, but I'd happily sacrifice such a small amount of privacy (hashes of the photos of my phone; not even the photos themselves?) to help law enforcement detect abusers of child pornography and related illegal content.

The hypothetical "what if" of how those hashes could be used to penalize people in other ways is FUD. We can think of millions of ways to abuse any system -- but that doesn't mean that people will.

> The biggest outcome of this is event is that active duty forces are sanctioned against being used on American Citizens on American soil.

I thought that prohibition was much older?

Also, it's more complicated than that. For example, active duty were used in Little Rock during the civil rights era, IIRC?
Bingo. I expect that to be the more complicated issue, which is much more interesting and will require collaboration to accomplish. Either way I just wanna see where this rabbit hole goes.
And then you've reinvented /etc/shadow but worse. :)
I had to look it up to put it in perspective. 25mg pure psilocybin could be around 5g of dried p. cubensis if they are .5% (which varies considerably...) point being this is no microdose. These patients are really tripping! So they are saying a psychedelic experience, which could reconstruct your entire ego, really can be a significant life-changing event.
Imagine you're merging onto a freeway. You have limited runway before you have no more lane. The lane you need to merge into has a Tesla next to you, and some cars behind it.

You could slow down and hope one of those cars behind the Tesla slows to allow you to merge, but not only is that unlikely but it screws up traffic flow. Naturally you step on it so you can speed ahead and merge. But that Tesla drive has the ability to show you that he's boss, and he's faster than you. Now you're going faster and have even less lane remaining, so you must hit the brakes hard and try to merge into the new gap behind the Tesla. That's dangerous, but it's now about your only option.

Or you simply want to change into a lane and fill in the space between the Tesla and the car some distance in front of him. Maybe you see congestion ahead in your lane, or perhaps you're about to encounter traffic merging into your lane.

There are tons of legitimate reasons you might want to get in front of that Tesla. And if you already were going faster than him, it would normally be no problem for anyone. But in angry driver traffic with the new electric capabilities, people can basically use their cars as weapons.

It may sound dramatic, but it was already a bad behavior some people would exhibit when they were angry, competitive drivers. Now they have much more ability to fight.
I didn't give anyone shit. Don't accuse me (or anyone else) of that. This is advertising tracking data that normal people can't avoid generating. Ever had a product advertisement follow you around the web? That's the kind of data we're talking about here. I aggressively block, limit and quash everything like this (to the point of things often not working on my networks and devices) and I still generate massive amounts of data that I would prefer not be used to target me for anything. Blaming the user for this arguably illegal abuse of their data is irresponsible and borders on malicious blame shifting.
I've worked at both Amazon and Microsoft. I'm not even an HS graduate. I worked my way in through contract gigs until I was able to get an FTE role. After the first one, moving to another place was no big deal. I was asked about it by HR only to make sure their records were correct and never heard of it again.
Unreal Engine is still used with StageCraft 2.0 but not as the “final frame” renderer which is now ILM’s Helios renderer.
I think the biggest advantage of WSL2 is being off the radar - corporate IT support will just be "oh its a Microsoft product, install approved, add to whitelist in all security monitoring products".

Rolling your own implementation with vmware poses the exact same security and compliance risks, but its way more likely to put a spotlight on you.
I don't know if it has been studied much, but it stands to reason that a vaccine might impart superior immunity, especially considering variants and the fact that the vaccine is given in separate doses spread out long enough to induce more memory.

Last I heard Tor split all data up into 512 byte chunks. So the statistical distribution of packet sizes could still give you away.

In general, Tor does not hide the fact that you are using Tor.

LCOE for CPVCSP + molten salt storage systems are already cheaper than nuclear according to lazards (and increasingly more so with every new plant online), but probably not acceptable for anywhere above the latitude of northern Germany.

Well shit. I didn't even think of that. I (luckily) browsed on my personal machine so I just saw it and commented, but that's terrible.

Maybe I'm being a pessimist, but I wonder what percentage of their "commitment" was calculated in dollars donated as a tax-write off to the committee's pet green charity as compared to the percentage of Unilever actually changing any of their pollutive practices?

I don't think the playing field was level back in the day when there were several incumbents preceding Google with far larger databases of crawled content and everyone was gaming the algorithms to figure out what SEO looked like.

I think Google changed the nature of the unlevel playing field, but it was unlevel when they got there.
Two extremely bold claims.

Do you know how many people in the world have an internet connection?
yea.. why?

the truth is that most users have no other easily accessible way for them to switch away from a monopoly that sells them, their data and privacy to the highest bidder and requires all companies to pay a tax to exist in the online economy...

if you are an expert, you can change your settings manually and hence not require the extension.
If you're not on a road bike, and you're riding 30+ minutes, I doubt you're going that fast. You can, but you're going to arrive sweaty and tired.

NFTs don't solve anything on the copyright enforcement level. How could they? Your printer doesn't enforce copyright either when you print a document or an image you aren't allowed to print.

Although I don't think there is any problem in doing a NFT like an ebook or a movie that is encrypted and the decryption key would be transferred to the wallet of the buyer when you sell or resell the NFT.

But that's not how NFTs are used currently. Right now it's just "I bought this" (with not many rights being actually bought).

What NFTs allow are open markets for these NFTs. Imagine the million dollar homepage redone with NFTs. Every pixel would be a single NFT. The homepage could automatically be generated from the public data and more importantly, the buyers of the pixels could try to buy more pixels on the open market after all pixels have been sold without the original artist/seller being involved.

Or gaming assets. DLCs today can only be bought from the game developer. There's no secondary market (or at least not a legal one). Why? Because the game developer doesn't get a cut from resold DLCs. With NFTs this could change. The game developer gets a cut on every resell and even more important, you wouldn't be confined to the game developers shop system but could sell the DLCs on any shop that is compatible with the NFT standards.

This opens up new market opportunities.
In terms of practical application (e.g. in industry), the biggest bang for your buck is "get the illumination right". Surprised this never appears in the course (at least from glancing over the syllabus and some slides).

Most CV tasks are borderline impossible if your input is acquired under uncontrollable lighting. Whereas the right illumination setup can often let you get away with nothing but a threshold binarization.
>When probed on how to address intermittency, many wind and solar advocates propose things like hydrogen storage, giant flywheels, compressed air, or other solutions that are currently in the prototyping stage and have yet to actually be deployed to a grid and demonstrate viability.

Cryogenic energy storage ("liquid air") plants have been deployed - a 15 MWh (5 MW peak) grid-scale demonstration plant has been operating in Greater Manchester near where I live since 2018, and there's a permanent 250 MWh (50 MW peak) plant under construction on the opposite side of the city region.

Granted that peak energy usage in the UK today was around 42 GW, so it's a small fraction (OTOO a tenth of a percent at peak) of what's needed, but... it's coming.

I fully agree with you, though, that nuclear is needed. Renewables + storage can't be the complete answer. I'm a wind, solar and nuclear advocate.
Even just the fact you can run windows binaries from wsl2 is a killer feature, its nice being able to run something like tasklist.exe and process the stdout in bash.

Sure you could write a similar script in Powershell or cmd, but its a headache I don't need.
curious, did you then add medical insurance in? My understanding is that at the highest marginal rates, the two countries are similar, but then you consider that those in the US are also paying additional health insurance premiums.
I'm not familiar with this problem since I don't ride them. But as a motorist, their ability to accelerate quickly really isn't an issue regarding me passing them on the road.
One of the goals of keeping the money supply equal to the value of assets is a stable velocity. The stable velocity might end up the more important aspect, but I don't yet have a perfect intuition on how that works.

I’m a believer in the potential value but think placebo or blind studies of psychedelics are absurd. You know full well of you’ve eaten an eighth of cubensis.
