> ~15% of symptomatic COVID cases

Okay? That's not inconsistent with what I said, and moreover this is an absurdly vague and nebulous set of supposed symptoms. It is just simply not that credible that this is a significant real world issue to any large degree worthy of the costs of (ineffectively) trying to mitigate them.

But also, everyone is going to get Covid more or less. It is not going away. It is an endemic coronavirus. Even if what you're saying was true, so what? Where does that leave us? It leaves us with those occurrences still happening, AND a perpetually degraded economic, political and social life due to ineffective mandates, shut downs, restrictions and mask drama. None of this stops the spread of Covid!

But yes, TCP uses windows for back-pressure, but that isn't really useful for application level backpressure as the OS controls the queues sizes, so pretty much most systems have their own backpressure on top.

I'm ready to do the same thing with my Vizio. The worst part about these updates is they happen without any regard for what I'm doing.

I'll have Netflix or Hulu open. Next, the TV will update, close my app, and take me to the startup screen advertising something like "We have Apple TV now!". Or, it will update and go to a blank screen which requires me to physically power off the TV because it's stuck. The remote is useless in this case since it clearly doesn't power down, but put it into sleep mode.

They're economic migrants, same as the other 10 million who've illegally entered the EU in the past decade. Stop conflating them with asylum seekers.

Conflation is a Marxist technique: in the UK, one official deliberately conflates economic migrants with surgeons, "Some of them might be surgeons. Why wouldn't we want surgeons? What's wrong with you?", despite less than 0.01% being surgeons.

I'm getting it from Snowflake's own page:

https://www.snowflake.com/pricing/

Amongst other things, listed under the enterprise tier, and not lower tiers, is "Database failover and failback for business continuity".

"The higher editions of Snowflake include features like materialised views, dynamic data masking, BYOK, PCI & HIPAA compliance etc., non of which are required for the benchmark."

Yeah, but they are referencing a price/performance comparison to a Databricks tier that DOES have those things. That's the point. Update your own numbers with a lower tier, but don't update the competitor tier too?
> An excuse to keep emitting CO2 while claiming that you'll do something about it "tomorrow."

While paying the higher price today to have it removed? That's not much of an excuse, that's buying your way out of it. If people want to go that route and they pay for their own emissions (there, of course, is going to be the problem) then be my guest. If you'd rather go the typically cheaper route of changing the technology or lifestyle (e.g. drive electric or ditch the car altogether), that's also fine.

Interesting! I started using jsonnet this year, but found that the language was needlessly quirky (e.g. the `::`, purely functional aspect, and no one wants to learn a new language to write configuration in the first place). More importantly, it is extremely slow (lazy evaluation without memoization...): rendering the Kubernetes YAML of my 5-container app taking over 10 seconds...

I will look into this further.

In a lot (most?) of the US most places are far enough away from each other that using a shop's car park as somewhere to leave your car (e.g. while commuting) does not happen. There is also no viable public transport.

Charging for parking, then, is nonsensical. It's a cost imposed on your business just like the rent.

You could try to recover your rent/land costs by charging a flat fee for people to enter your shop on foot. Why not? Well, because no-one will come any more.
That may well be the case, but it is not what the comment I replied to was talking about.

Bear in mind that (a) you're just pulling it from the atmosphere and burying it, not splitting the C from O2 so you can use it as fuel again, and (b) there are applications like long-haul jets and cement production where eliminating emissions isn't that easy.

To put some numbers on (a), David MacKay's book has some numbers[1]:

> The laws of physics say that the energy required must be at least 0.2 kWh per kg of CO2....

> Lackner told me in June 2008 that, in a dry climate, the
concentration cost has been reduced to about 0.18–0.37 kWh of low-grade heat per kg CO2. The compression cost is 0.11 kWh per kg. Thus Lackner’s total cost is 0.48 kWh or less per kg.

Burning a kilogram of coal generates 8 kWh[2] and 2.42 kg CO2[3]. So that's 8 kWh generated, requiring 1.16 kWh to pull 2.42 kg CO2 back out out of the atmosphere.

So about 15% of the energy obtained by putting carbon in the atmosphere is needed to remove it.

It seems Tim has not been a part of a large violent protest: even with hundreds of thousands of people hitting the streets, the modern approach to solving that is to pick and prosecute a hundred or so people. Bureaceacy can deal with that, and are you willing to risk being that person?

Most middle class people, which are a huge majority in developed world, aren't.

Article also overestimates how many people are willing to fight the future war and somebody else's war.

A political solution should, just like Tim does, recognize that the Global North has benefitted greatly from industrialization with high pollution, and that, if they want the Global South to reduce pollution without having an opportunity for similar fast progress based on oil/coal, they should be covering all the costs of cleaner energy to ensure similarly fast progress without the pollution. Until they do, stance like India's should not come as a surprise.

Publishing literature critical of vaccines is social and career suicide. The science is effectively poisoned, one sided because of social shaming. But Pfizer et al. aren't complaining given that they are raking in the cash explicitly free of liability. Not like that's a huge conflict of interest or anything, we should continue to trust their safety and efficacy data unquestionably. Surely big pharma has a spotless ethical and safety record.

Camera without a phone?
It has been very convenient to merge every device in a phone over the last decade yet I think I want separate functionalities be... separate devices. What are my options for camera without a phone?

It has to be:

1. like a camera in a phone - to be always with me; except phone part that I want to leave and disconnect

2. able to easily transfer images from it to my laptop, preferably without wires. No accounts should be involved in the process.

3. updated every ones in a while, e.g. software, firmware..

It does not have to:

1. better than camera in a phone

2. best

I work in the advertising industry (media buy side) and we buy the feed from VideoAmp (Vizio) to determine linear TV spot reach better than Nielsen.

We only buy for our clients and get a feed of only their placements, but essentially VideoAmp knows how many Vizio TV’s are online in every zip code and from that can with a fairly high confidence interval give a statistical accurate determination of what played on TV.

Most media includes ACR (auto content recognition) fingerprints for this purpose, either through VideoAmp or Comscore (comcast set top boxes).

The whole game for them is for you to get your “Smart TV” online and they entice with apps and now tons of shovelware-esq free TV channels like PlutoTV.
>Selling of buttons on remotes absolutely does not involve 'tracking and then selling viewing habits'.

I would wager that they look at how frequently apps are loaded on their TVs in an effort to determine which apps get their own buttons, and what rate to charge those companies for said placement.

I always forget US gas prices are dollars per gallon. According to Google prices are currently less than a dollar a litre, in Europe the median seems to be about 1.8 dollars per litre (4.5 litres in a gallon). In the UK it is about 7.5 dollars per gallon.

The USA seems addicted to cheap fuel. That addiction needs to end sometime, and if you collectively cry about prices raising to less than the levels the rest of the world deals with just fine it doesn’t give much hope for the future.
Any example of this you can name?

Not doubting you, I just never heard of it before. So it would be something to keep in mind.
Yeah, I've never really understand this.

If I go to a shop and "the landlord" charges me a fee, or fines me, the effect is exactly the same as if the business were responsible.

Imagine if the landlord whacked up a turnstile and imposed a $1 fee for everyone entering the building.

Same effect. Tons of people would refuse to go on principle, myself included.
Why don't you move to a cheaper place/smaller city? I don't understand why there are some many homeless people in big cities (i.e NYC). If people would just move to cheaper areas/cities the whole issue of housing would be fixed.
Based on current trajectories, the world's population is not going to double again (or even increase by 50%), it will level off at about 10 billion and at that point perhaps start to shrink. It's possible this level is not sustainable with an acceptable standard of living, but it's not obvious and it certainly isn't inevitable that humanity will reproduce out of control.
I'm not sure I'd trust manually editing either in a plain text editor. YAML cares about whitespace yet will silently make most combinations valid and it also has surprising pitfalls on type interpretation if one isn't consistently on top of it when entering data. JSON has a bunch of additional characters but at least if you forget them you have a higher chance of it just telling you it's wrong when you try to use it.

Thankfully it's very rare I ever have to open any config file in a text editor that isn't aware of dozens of formats so things like a missing brace are always suggested anyways and it isn't much a problem regardless of format.
That also implies that you can't just test a foreign config file without first reading and understanding what it does, as just using one would imply arbitrary code execution.
The observation I'm making is that we know what the bounded risks are. We don't know what the lower bounds (or upper bounds) might do. We've planted lots of vegetation that depends on the growth of CO2 levels year after year (to some degree). It's not clear to me that if it gets too low that would be a good thing.

By the way, I'm not arguing that we shouldn't decrease the CO2 levels. We should. I'm trying to have a nuanced and interesting discussion about a very complex phenomena.

Each of those problems you brought up can also be mitigated with proper engineering as well.

Take for example how Israel effectively solved the drought problem. Now that's an exceptional case and it wouldn't be logistically feasible to expect every nation to dedicate so much of their GDP to such problems. I'm just trying to suggest there are other variables at play, besides moving CO2 levels up and down like a thermometer.
I was specifically thinking about asking clients to edit or write these files. Isn't that a fairly common use case for config languages?

Is it, though? To me, this is a rather absurd equivalence.

There's a significant amount of buildup before the "Vizio" bit, but it's presented in a structured format, helps establish context about the "issue", and is backed by credible references at every step. A time-constrained reader might not find this to be the most friendly writeup, but that's a separate discussion about the authour's writing style, which has no relation to the analogy you presented.
Vouched for this, it was flagged. Nobody here has provided any actual clash with the argument.
