A key thing to remind people of is that the October "revolution" did not depose the Czar, but the socialist-dominated provisional government.

So many people seems to believe the Bolsheviks overthrew the Czar, but he and his family had been in house arrest for months by then.

And of course the Bolshevik purges didn't stop at the other groups, but also other factions within their own party.

Green hydrogen will be cheaper than petrol. The goal is to make it from curtailed renewable energy which will cost <$0.02/kWh. You can't go around talking about cheap solar and not realize it means cheap hydrogen too.

It will be a significant fraction of the year that will be powered by hydrogen as the primary energy source. Just creating more green electricity will mostly end up wasting it as there is no other way of capturing and storing it.

All regions must have hydrogen available. For things like industry, shipping, trucking, grid energy storage, etc., it is basically unavoidable for a country to not hydrogen. BEV islands will be small and not an alternative to widespread deployment of hydrogen-related infrastructure. But the reverse is not true, as it is fully possible for a country to reach zero emissions with no BEVs.

The biggest change in environmental policy is the widespread deployment of hydrogen and related technologies. Many countries now like the UK, Germany, Australia, Japan, etc., have very significant hydrogen expansion policies. These policies will accelerate rapidly going forward.
This has to be a joke right?
I have definitely seen this happen in apps. If you're less than ecstatic with the application, they direct you to some black-holed "We'd love to hear your feedback!" form. If you love it, they want your review in the app store because ratings are important for search and discovery.

Dating apps are often pretty aggressive this particular dark pattern.
I drive, walk, and bike often in San Francisco. I rode a 650cc motorcycle for 10 years when I was in my 20s.

In the Panhandle, for example, there is a mixed use bike / walking path. It is very dangerous for the walkers even with normal bikes, as the bikes are whizzing by the walkers at 20mph. However one day I was walking, and a HUGE mutant E-bike with massive fat tires & very heavy frame, flew by me at what seemed like 30-40mph -- and to me, it felt exactly like a near miss from a motorcycle.

There are other safety concerns with recent trends, with the Slow streets. Everyone walks in the middle of those streets & the pedestrians treat them as their exclusive domain: kids playing, etc. But the drivers long ago stopped respecting the "slow street" concept, and whiz around the traffic cones, and then go 30mph down the street. The city is still treating them as an experiment, which is a part of the problem.

I love both E-Bikes and the Slow Streets, and they should be a huge part of our future:
* Cities should make the Slow Streets official and modify them to make them impractical to use for driving a car (perhaps making them have a single curving central lane).
* Likewise the E-Bikes need a bit more regulation and limited strictly to bike only lanes, not the mixed biking / pedestrian paths.

As it is currently the progress of society and technology has created a bit of a dangerous situation.
It has walk assist if I need to move it uphill while walking next to it, I wouldn't want to move it up or down a flight of stairs but if that would ever be a requirement I'm pretty sure there will be a law mandated elevator nearby as well.

I agree with you. Reality is far from my dream :/ They can't even do something even close for subscription products (those who generate a continuous revenue).
Anyone age-appropriate in the US who wants a booster can get one. I'm not sure I technically qualify--I didn't when I got one--but pharmacies etc. won't, and almost certainly can't, make decisions about whether you get one or not.
"3 stars" means "meh, it's fine. I don't want to commit to rating but I'm not a sucker who gives 5 to everything"

"2 stars" means "I really don't like it, but I can control my emotions and explain myself".
This messaging is horrifically bad. No one in the CA government is directly saying everyone should get the booster it seems like.

"Allow patients to self-determine their risk of exposure" -> ??? I'm not a doctor, why are you making me do that?

"If you think you will benefit from getting a booster shot, I encourage you to go out and get it" -> ??? Everyone would technically benefit, why are you not just saying everyone?

In another article: "Ghaly said that guidance is in line with the federal government’s eligibility rules for booster shots" -> ??? It's not! "Wanting a booster" is not one of the eligibility criteria.

I'm going to get the booster soon, even though I don't qualify under CDC guidelines, to be clear. But only because CA is giving me the wink-wink, nudge-nudge that I can just ignore the guidelines and go get one. No one will ask questions.

I was just looking for some of his old blog posts about A/b testing the other day. Since I first read them, I'd lost my bookmarks and forgotten his name. Do you know how bad the google search results for A/B testing are now? They're atrocious! SEO services and low-content medium posts as far as the eye can see! I was only able to rediscover his blog after finding links to it in the readme of a random R project in github.
Canada had more vaccines 'secured' per capita than any other country on earth, but its vaccination campaign lagged behind the US by months. In Canada's case, secured meant per-purchased. Delivery was a completely separate issue.

We had secured 20 million doses of AstraZeneca. We have yet to receive even one dose (We eventually received some from Serum Institute of India, COVAX, etc. but none from our main contract for 20 million doses with AstraZeneca corporation). We had 'secured' 38 million Johnson & Johnson doses. we received 300k, which turned out to be most likely contaminated and could not be used, so they were sent back. We have yet to receive a single usable dose of Johnson & Johnson out of the 38 million we have 'secured'.

Secured just means they have the budget and the contract in place. It doesn't say anything about delivery timeline.
You can qualify a lot of F’d up policy just by saying “it’s not about you, it’s about everyone!”

When we were dealing with a completely and utterly unknown virus for which we had no information, no effective responses, no useful therapies or treatments, no real understanding of how it spread, no vaccines, and not even a clear idea of where community spread already happened, taking some extreme measures in response to a pandemic made sense.

We now have much better information than we had plus vaccines faster than we ever had vaccines in response to a new pandemic before plus the resilience of the COVID survivors, both known survivors and unknown survivors, and useful therapies and treatments.

The risk calculus has changed and so must the response shift from the public to the private: from government to individual.

I think the notion of "lie detector" has been discredited. Someone who wants to learn to pass a polygraph can probably do so. Screening applicants for vulnerability doesn't have to be a perfect process as it's part of a larger security system.
We should tell this to coal plants as that what they are doing right now. Coal waste product called coal ash release more radiation per energy produced than the waste product from nuclear reactors. People who live around coal plants have a higher risk of cancer. People die because of it.

Some coal power plants filter and collect their waste product. They then have to manage the waste. It either end up in landfills for toxic waste, bury it in the ground, or they dump it in the ocean. Hundred of tons of coal ash is created every year in the US alone.

Nuclear plants don't have the luxury to just dump it in the air, ocean, or bury it in the ground. The law require them to collect and store it, and so in contrast to fossil fuels it builds up and is visible. Nuclear plants create less total waste, and they don't contribute to climate change, and yet people are worried about nuclear waste while consuming enormous amount of fossil fuel energy.

The nuclear industry need better PR, while governments need to stop playing favorites. Force fossil fueled power plants to have the same requirements that we put on nuclear plants, and make both pay for waste management.
The full sentence was: “ The problem is that s-pedelecs are technically lumped in with the scooters, even though there is no throttle and there is absolutely no way you are going to sustain 40 Kph+ for anything but a very short period.”
He is explicitly talking about S-Pedelecs which are the fastest legal E-Bikes in most of Europe. He never said that you are generally not able to sustain 40+ MPH in general.

Yes. They're part of the clearance process for psychological reasons.
>Laptops are supposed to be

By whose definition? There have always been trade offs to achieve that portability. Processing power has always been one mainly due to the electrical power demands. We're just now getting to battery tech that is impressive. We've taken this long to get to processing abilities that didn't require being attached directly to a power line to idle.

If "supposed to be" means we all have been "hoping and wishing one day" it might be possible, then sure, "supposed to be" it is.
Class 3 limits in the US (pedal assist only, no throttle allowed) are set at ~28 mph (~45 kph). Class 2 limit (throttle allowed) is ~25 mph (40 kph). I've also ridden some DIY'ed ebike conversions with unlocked controllers that'll happily hit 40 mph (65 kph) if you're feeling particularly suicidal that day.
Tbf if you’re just looking to run an app on newer platforms you’d likely not need to do anything with the web app. They have a lot of issues but once stuff works it’s usually a very long time before it doesn’t.

It would probably still be harder to add a new dependency to a 3 year old web app than it would be to integrate a 20yo C++ project though, I agree with you there.

Essentially either you want RPC, or you might want caching. If you want to put a varnish cache in there, probably stick with http. If you know you're doing (very high thro / low latency) RPC - this might make a lot of sense.

There are three parts of the equation::

- Your personal risk if you caught COVID

- The risk that you would spread COVID to other people if you caught COVID

- How productive you can be at home compared to your office/school

Your overall health only impacts the first one which is why you haven't been eligible for a booster. You still have just as much risk of spreading COVID as anyone else so unless you would be much more efficient at the office/school, it still makes sense to stay home.

For example, I would bet you would agree that your kids are getting more out of going to school rather than doing it remotely so that third variable shifts the overall equation to favor them returning to in person schooling.
You’re basically right.

Miners trapped in a cave not penetrated by E&M waves?

Wont work.

Signal from inside a reactor?

No. No logic can modulate the signal in said reactor that isn't destroyed by the radiation.

If you have a pneumatic arm to modulate this thing, use it to flip a magnet. That’ll better penetrate any shield than neutrons.
Any particular reason you went for unisex rather than specifically for men?

The color choices strike me as more female-friendly than male-friendly. And while I know nothing at all about design, I'd anticipated something aimed specifically to flatter a male body (with less hips, and hairy legs, and probably other things). I don't know how one would go about that, but I would have expected it to work better to target specifically to men rather than unisex.

I very much appreciate that It's Got Pockets(tm), and they appear to be very well made. I keep thinking that somebody has got to be able to make skirts work for men, even though I don't know how to make that happen. I really hope you do.

It’s not about you
Use a magnet instead then. Flip it over with the pneumatic arm.
I’ve seen that happen too, very often. Usually the negative answer got me redirected to the app’s “internal” feedback page.

So now, when given just two choices, I pick the positive one, get redirected to the App Store, and then write an App Store review with actual feedback.

I have lots of friends an family who want boosters, but don't think they qualify yet.

Some do, especially under the BMI cutoff, but how are they supposed to know that? They're otherwise healthy.

I don't qualify, but CA is giving me the wink-wink, nudge-nudge that I can just ignore the guidelines and go get one. No one will ask questions.

The messaging is incredibly bad and inconsistent.
There's also the curiosity factor. I think 20% of my packages say they've been delivered one day before they actually are. It's always this unnerving waiting period to see if it will be delivered tomorrow or if it got stolen. Should I just make Amazon send another every time? Should I be prepared to pay twice sometimes as a sort of privileged tax? Should I curb my consumerism out of fear?

Really it should be the brick and mortar stores who capitalize on this. Start advertising in certain areas that have high package theft and cut into ecommerce market share.
This video is epistemological trash.
What in the world? Really?

My understanding is that Booster shots are extremely effective at further preventing the spread of Covid. Indeed, the first result I get when searching "covid booster effectiveness" says that booster shots reduce infections by a factor of 11:

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/09/studies-...

And if you don't get infected, you can't spread it. So there should be a big public health benefit to giving boosters to as many people as possible.

Am I misunderstanding something, or was the reasoning behind the recommendation stupid?
If it's not better than Google I wouldn't bother. Better search engine needs to focus more on language and linguistics to give better search results.

Niche search engines or metasearch engines like Tripadvisor and Skyscanner are welcome because they come in handy where Bing or Google do not or in another words they are more specialized for certain niches than general internet search engines.
I stopped sending word documents to our clients when one client silently changed a section of a document without telling me (he disabled tracking changes for that part of the document). The document was then rejected by the clerk because of that. As I was there I convinced the clerk to let me make manual amendments to the document with my good old pen and made it go through. I had to let the client know about the change to make sure he would accept it. I was surprised that he blamed me for the situation… Switched to pdf. Stopped the hypocrisy.
> After spending years in functional-land, I find the for loop (and while loop) construct maddening; you have to maintain the state of the entire enclosing scope system in your head.

This is only true if immutability is enforced. In js you see map used to mutate variables outside the scope of the map closure all the time.

const o = {}
const d = [1, 2, 3, 4]
d.map(i => o[i] = i**2)

Which is equivalent to this python.

o = {}
d = [1, 2, 3, 4]
for i in d:
o[i] = i**2

The cognitive load is the same in both. The strength of pure FP languages come from enforced immutability, but that constraint often adds cognitive load in other ways.
And because the goal of 6.01 was different from 6.001, which was the biggest thing in the change. A graduate of 6.001 was supposed to be on path to understand computation et al - a graduate of 6.01 is given enough skills to apply a bit of programming necessary for his next courses but isn't expected to actually grok programming, just string enough libraries together.

> Whereas, in a REST architecture, the client makes an HTTP request and data is sent as HTTP response, in GraphQL, the client request data with queries.

Already this isn't quite right.

Both (often) operate on HTTP (though of course other protocols could likely be used as well).

The difference lies in the idea, behavior, and ergonomics behind each. A frontend makes an HTTP request to a backend with a query and the back end fetches and returns the data as an HTTP response.

You can easily make a REST API that behaves like a graphql api through query parameters. GraphQL is a way of abstracting over multiple APIs, databases, etc and lets frontends get data without having to ask back end developers to change request handlers.

imo that would be a "forever program" not really a "forever language." The lack of standard packaging and terrible paradigm of shared dependencies has made C/C++ incredibly fragile and non-portable when you need something from years ago to compile today.

90% of the "good" advice from Uncle Bob is unattributed restatements from Kernighan, Plauger, Ritchie, Yourdon, Myers. Big revelations like "DRY" and "SOLID" are buzzwordy rehashes from The Elements of Programming Style (1974) or Myers' books on composite software design.

I've wondered what experience and successes "Uncle Bob" has on his resume that makes him an authority. Whenever I read his articles I get the feeling he's a pompous fraud.

What are you arguing for? If co-workers don't wish to go back into the office even if they're allowed to (which is the situation at a lot of tech companies these days), what does that do for your commute and scene? (I do get some nostalgia for being with co-workers--and I'm certainly happy to be back to events again--but clearly there's a tradeoff that you and co-workers need to make.)

No. They check your tax returns every year with some automated process. If you document any income that is not approved youll be in trouble. My college rounded up all the international kids doing business in their own countries and told them to stop immediately.

I'm portuguese, happy to help you there if you give more details. Where will you be living? Rent can range from 500/600 euros in the Porto Periphery to 1500+ in Center. Will kids go to private school (200/300 per month is common, but 'better' schools can go up to 800/1000 per month for the likes ofUBS, CLIP in Porto) or public school (free).

If you don't want to live a lavish lifestyle, I think 2000/2500 after taxes should be more than enough. Average Household income is around 1600 Euros (which is quite low tbh) but livable.

AFAIK, the number of people with TS//SCI is not actually classified. It's just hard to get a complete headcount because of how broad the designation is.

As of 2017, approximately 2.8 million people held TS[1]. A sizable percentage of those people are also probably TS//SCI.

Edit: Uncited, from Wikipedia:

> In general, military personnel and civilian employees (government and contractor) do not publish the individual compartments for which they are cleared. While this information is not classified, specific compartment listings may reveal sensitive information when correlated with an individual's résumé. Therefore, it is sufficient to declare that a candidate possesses a TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph.

If you're worried about thermal damage to your laptop, maybe you can prevent it? Some ideas:

- Leave the laptop screen open. You can turn off the screen by setting its brightness to the minimum setting.

- Power your USB devices from a powered USB hub.

- Point a small fan at the side of the computer.

- Clean the laptop's cooling system of dust and lint. Keep the laptop on a stack of books so the intake vent is raised above any surface that can collect dust.
