Not having examined the site’s model, I’d indeed put more stock into the specific interventions I listed than modelling estimates.

We know certain things move the needle and can evaluate their cost. Knowing that is more useful than knowing the specific percent improvement.

Another layer of protection that can be used before a gathering is rapid tests day of (on top of other measures)

And the big idea from the site that risks rise as prevalence rises is true. The site could be off by a factor of ten in absolute terms, but the relative change in risk based on tests + positivity rate will be accurate.
I gather enough people would like to commute to climate-change symposiums via private jet without having their lifestyle choices made mockery of that they'd accept an electric airplane with all its drawbacks.
Hehe, that's more like a sail :) I'd hate to ride around with that much surface but it's a fun idea!
IMO commerce with Apple has upped the game on privacy for everyone. Apple has email aliases so that ordinary people can hide their email. Apple has private relay so that ordinary people can experience TOR lite. Apple has Apple Pay so that stores hardly know anything about you. With Sign up with Apple you can create accounts which hand over very little information.

This does not mean that Apple is free of contradiction, such as with their unpopular announcement to scan your pictures for child porn. But in the sum Apple has been making privacy easier for everyone, and not just for technical folks.

I don't have FSD in my Model 3, but there are times when overcoming whatever Autopilot is doing with the wheel takes a surprising amount of force. I have no doubt that the motors used to control the wheel are way stronger than me.
I disabled SMT in 2007 after reading colin percivals thoughts on intels hyperthreading. I have disabled it on every computer I have had since, since the fixes didn't inspire much confidence back then.

I have done benchmarks from time to time and it doesn't really matter much for my workloads.
I use an Apple Watch and the Health app on the iPhone to track health related metrics.

Every morning, I check and track:

* Sleep duration

* Blood pressure

* Body weight (and BMI)

Everyday I track:

* Water intake

* Exercise duration, active calories burned and “stand hours” (these are the rings to close on Fitness on Apple Watch/iPhone)

I also take a look at the following, though not every single day:

* Heart rate variability (HRV)

* Two-lead ECG measurement

* Resting heart rate

I don’t use the trends feature in the Health app. It doesn’t seem that prominent or useful.
Virgin Galactic has sold 100 tickets to space since increasing price to $450k
To quote, your comment's ideas are bad and ignorant. Not because they are incorrect, but because you blindly insist on them. The reasoning is valid merely for a rock/concrete oven or a vacation house.

I suggest you read up on laws of conservation. If you want to be less than 100% efficient, you have to lose energy somehow, somewhere.

I don't know where you're getting efficiency numbers from, but quoting from your reference, storage in Sorø will double as electricity storage while beating your numbers on electricity alone.

"A similar system is scheduled for Sorø, Denmark, with 41–58% of the stored 18 MWh heat returned for the town's district heating, and 30–41% returned as electricity."

BTW, when you switch rocks for concrete, of course it's expensive and makes no sense - people don't add tons of concrete for thermal storage. Though they do use it, if it's there, and add rocks, brick walls, water tanks, phase change materials etc, if they want more.
I disagree. The subreddit system breaks up content on that site into classifications. Yes, major subreddits have an unending stream of content just like the site as a whole does. But if one is interested in only niche subjects, the flow is rather low. HN, being unorganized with no sort of category or tag system, forces one to reckon with the stream in realtime.

There's often good nuggets that are buried under new, that don't make it to the front page. Sometimes one only serendipitously finds that content when being dumped into new after posting one's own submission. So if one really wants to search for content on HN, they'd be continuously refreshing new.

There are also plenty of heated discussions on HN. Just because they are using highfalutin pseudo-intellectual speak instead of common vulgarities doesn't mean there aren't as controversial topics here. And these days, HN is scarcely less politicized than Reddit, or any other place in the world online or offline is. Moderation can only go so far, and there are many threads that fall through the cracks.

The comment system of HN, without notifications, also invites one to continuously refresh threads. I personally use Dan Grossman's HN Replies service, but those who don't and wish to see replies on their content would have to no choice but to refresh their comment history.

HN can be just as bad as Reddit, but in different ways.
I'd guess at least partially for the same reason that a Cessna 172 costs $80k in parts and retails for $400k. A large part of the sale price goes to a bank account titled "in case of lawsuit." Someone needs to pay the lawyers when you get sued for a fire, etc...
I would add that sometimes you would want to know what actual tests are made on something in order to classify it according to the relevant ISO norm.

Here is an example for fire resistant classification:

> A bicycle which you can use without using the pedals is, to me, not the definition of a bicycle.

My point is what difference does it make? Like I said, if you want to cap weight or speed, or maybe acceleration, within given areas, fine. But who cares whether or not you classify it as a "bicycle." If a person wants to exercise on their way to work or get there in a suit without having to shower, I don't care.

Make sure you are not drinking alcohol, avoid stimulates, and hydrate. If you are doing all that and still not going to 100 might be defective. I wear my watch pretty loose and still get great results. I thought mine was not working at first but turns out was drinking to much coffee and alcohol for my body to actually get to 100. Also make sure you are getting minimum 8 hours sleep. When you are at zero can take 10 - 12 to get up to 100 then you will not be starting from zero each night.
I don't think people that invest in scam coins do any research before hand, there are still people "investing" in squid game for example.

When raising issues for GitHub projects, I have wondered if I should preface the issue with a note of appreciation. It does feel odd when your first interaction with a stranger and volunteer is "your code has a bug here". OTOH, "thanks for your project" does not convey technical information and could be considered noise.
It's generally murky because the tide kicks up a lot of silt, giving it it's brown colour. You'd need a hell of a lot more sewage for that to be the reason it's brown.
A beyond naive statement.

It is not a matter of trust but one of understanding. People need to react to their motivations and incentives, and one must take that into account when interacting with other people.
The lack of consumer protections in the US is problematic.

When something is defined as a "monopoly" they can go in and do all kinds of pro-consumer stuff, but legally very few things are monopolies in the US (duopolies are more common). I wish stuff like this and iOS's ban on browser push notifications (because it competes with apps) was reviewed by a Federal consumer rights agency.

What is frustrating that Edge-Chrome is actually a pretty good browser, Microsoft don't need to be doing this petty stuff to make it popular, yet here we are. Feels like the engineers at Microsoft just want to make cool shit but the management are stuck in this 1990s toxic mindset that keeps the company's image in the toilet (see also the Hot Reload controversy with the Visual Studio VP).
Thank you for your insight! I'm the only Canadian right now. We're still a small startup. I don't have majority control of the company by myself any more as we have raised VC.

I only enter the States for very specific business purposes and short durations and the occasional short family vacation. Less than 8 weeks in any given year, and much less now that I have kids at home.

I am super qualified for a TN1 computer systems analyst. I could presumably make a case for an O1 but that's a lot of work to prepare.
This so much.

And an excellent corollary to this is that when you have lucky 100% uptime there is no incentive to optimize mean time to recovery.

Sure the raspberry pi in your closet has been running fine for years, 100% uptime, but then a component fails. Do you have a replacement on hand? Are you continuously monitoring it to know it went down? The component failed at 3am, did it page you? Did you hop right out of bed to rush to fix it?

Single systems can have really nice uptime until they don’t. Then you are hoping that the people on hand can repair what’s going on after months or years of never having to do that. Mean time to recovery might be a week while you wait for new hardware or a few hours while you google some error message you’ve never encountered.

People can run their own systems if they want to, but they shouldn’t confuse good luck with rigorous engineering.
Why replace what works (and works well)?
Alternative solution:

Lean into private/public ventures to change the economics. We just make the private risk profile look reasonable. via direct investment.
The laws where I live do not see it this way. If it has pedals, and is under 750 watts, then it is an e-bike. This includes the ability to use a mid-drive motor that supplies 750 watts but makes full use of the bicycle's gearing system.
> But you can easily pass an audit if you actually READ the standards...

I worked in automotive manufacturing at one point. We had to follow an automotive specific extension (ISO/TS 16949 at the time) to the ISO 9001 standard in addition to a set of AIAG Automotive Core Tools (a set of 5 books). Our auditor was being audited by one of the people who was on the extension work group and the Core Tools work group. We definitely read the standards and were found to have 13 major non-conformances. We were told there are courses the working group offers to "teach the proper way to read the documents."

Maybe it's different in other industries, but my experience is you have to buy the documents, buy the courses to learn to read the documents, buy the courses to learn how to do internal audits, and then maybe you'll have the knowledge to complete the certification. But as you say, it will be quicker to use a consultant, so you add on consulting fees after all of those other expenses. Then you pay annually to be audited so you can maintain the license.

It's the cost of doing business and definitely had a huge ROI where I worked.

> People use it because it's really easy to get something up and running with HTTP short term

And because there are decades of best-practices and standard ways to do very common things like authentication, caching, signaling errors, load-balancing, logging. Maybe a homemade RPC doesn't need any of that, but I would bet that at some point it will need at least some of it. And now you have to implement it all yourself.

This is cool though and kinda fun to think about!
Please don't assume my reaction, I'm not outraged by anyone posting an internet comment.

I would be interested to see how the statistics look if you control for income or zip code. My assumption would be that in a given "bad neighborhood", there is no racial discrepancy in murderers, even if there is overall for the country. So I would not expect an officer walking a beat to be able to use race for any proactive purpose.

Obviously this is a big assumption that would take substantial work and data to prove, but that is what I meant by my "given". It's the same as saying that skin color has no effect on a person's likelihood to commit white collar crime - statistics show White people do it more often just because they have more opportunity.
Why give up the GC? That ought to be an interesting story.
Cryptocurrency makes it much easier to buy and sell drugs online, this is a huge redeeming quality. Even if we assume that we are ideologically opposed to drug trade, we'd be liars to claim that cryptocurrency is useless. It de facto isn't.
Sharing an SMT is IMHO less secure, because the adversary can probe while the victim is running. Sharing a CPU means you can only probe the effects.

It would make sense to me for a traditional multiuser shell server to have a scheduling policy prohibiting SMT sharing between users. As long as the scheduler work is not expensive, it would seem almost no-cost vs disabling SMT in case all users only run a single thread, but you can still get whatever benefits SMT provides within a user's workload.

The obvious solution is to simply copy the text of the standard into the legislation that relies on it.

But many standards that people need to be able to refer to are not referenced in legislation; this includes many standards that are needed for interoperability. In that respect, ISO is providing big companies with an anti-competition 'moat'.
Love it, glad to see you keep doing nice stuff, Jacques.

Windows 11 Better Than Linux for Intel Alder Lake Performance
To employ a foreign national in the US? For the company, it needs to be incorporated, have an FEIN, and have physical commercially zoned office space and the ability - but that doesn't necessarily need to be demonstrated now - to operate and pay the FN a salary. For the FN, he or she needs to qualify for a specific visa, which is probably the tougher issue.
It will be even more true for EVs because the charging times are longer. You won't stop in the convenience store while you're charging your car, you'll want to charge your car while you're at a store or out to eat because it takes longer to charge than to get gas.

IMHO the charger networks are a short-term solution and will ultimately go away. It's not that they are all making money by marking up electrons, it's that they're inconvenient.

I know people that have "all the apps" installed on their phone because they want to use whatever charger is nearby, not necessarily one on a particular network. As these things become more ubiquitous, people are going to want to pay via cash or credit in addition to using their phone. Your local restaurant doesn't need their chargers to be on a national network, they need them to be run by a local guy who also handles maintenance - like arcade game operators in the 80's or your local vending machine company today.
The goal is to tokenise and therefore monetise more deeply than ever. Speculation on game items, rent them to people that actually want to play, maybe even earn because people are actively using them and so on. How many middlemen and how much “value extraction” can you attach?
I'd like to add my anecdote. I have been driving my Tesla for about 2 months now, and it definitely feels safer than the ICE cars I drove before. This is mainly due to more information given by the Tesla such as the distance between my car and other objects, and it also shows the lanes around the car so it's easier for me to keep a safe distance from other cars nearby.

I also tried the 'FSD' on freeways where it can navigate on autopilot. It's really feels amazing and takes a lot of burden of driving at high speed off of me.

However, recently I was going onto the acceleration ramp, and turned on navigate on autopilot, Tesla told me to confirm a lane change to the right, I did and it somehow didn't see a car to the right of me trying to change lane to its left. That would be to same spot I would have gone to. So I had to manually intervene and take control of the wheel myself.

Manual override isn't difficult at all though, and there are multiple ways to do it. It can be done through turning the wheel manually, toggle the right stick upwards, or hit the brake. So I think if you still pay attention (maybe not as much attention as driving a non-Tesla car) when driving a Tesla, it's going to be okay.
As usual, you rock!
I'm curious to know how you and the parent comment came about to know about HN, what an IDE is, Debian.

Where did you find such a thing?
I don't feel my opinions are strong. More statements of fact:

* the ISO needs to pay the bills

* part of their income is charging for standards

* the folks that work to together to write the standards agree not to ask for a cut of the proceeds of the sale

* some folks want ISO standards to be free

2020 annual report, finances:

* https://www.iso.org/ar2020.html#section-finances

* https://www.iso.org/annual-reports.html

Expenditures were 35M CHF, income was 40M CHF, for a net result of 5M CHF. "Royalties received from members selling ISO standards" was 12M CHF.

If the ISO can make up that money elsewhere then they could stop charging.
I don't think whether you can buy it in a form factor though is a good indicator of "contender of widespread use." It ignores any technical merits and what the chip can actually do. Can it enable someone to check email, watch youtube, and check social media? Yes. Can it render graphics? Yes.If you put someone infront of a Macbook with an M1, can they accomplish everything hey can on an intel machine? Yes.

Now, is it probably priced out of being a real contender for widespread use? Most likely. Is it offered is configurations that suite everyone? Maybe not. But that doesn't mean it can't accomplish the same or similar tasks. If someone can sit at a computer and accomplish all of their normal tasks, then for the most part, it is a contender for widespread use, it is just a cost factor.
That’s fair. Although I think the characterization of doing RPC over Redis’s built-in pubsub is a little uncharitable. You’d just fire off a PUBLISH command w/ the channel and payload, and you’d receive the response to the RPC request on a subscriber that you can immediately drop (a pseudo-one-shot channel). It doesn’t have to be an event bus (even though that’s close to how Redis does pubsub internally).
I was on vacation in my home country during the record heatwave this June, friends, drinking... by the metrics it was worse than covid :)
I also have a personal dedicated server that never crashed or restarted this year. However I am not sure how much it was actually available. I know for a fact that there were multiple network issues at OVH. I also know that had my server been home, it would have been worse (Optimum residential is awful).

The server not failing is not the only outage mode.

Yes, the new company could file a change of status petition with USCIS requesting that your status be changed from E-2 to another status (or that you change to another E-2 employer).
No I think you misunderstand. There's a data-generating process: people commit crimes. For a given set of people, the mix of crimes they commit will drive both convictions and killings. For instance, if the mix of crimes a particular group commits has more murder in it than for other groups, we would expect both more police-shootings of those people (because police can intervene with deadly force when lives are at stake) and more convictions for murder.

You're right that people who are shot by police don't get convicted of anything, of course.
