G+ had a real names policy because Google's other social network, Orkut, did not, and Google had observed that the average Orkut use had chosen an anonymizing handle. They wanted to do something different with Google+, because the handles in Orkut made it very hard to find people you already knew in real life.

Personal opinion, they went about it entirely the wrong way. Facebook does technically have a real name policy, but they got the ecosystem of people using their real name that they have not by strenuously enforcing that policy, but by incentivizing people through the design of the product to use their real name. If memory serves, I got my Facebook account via a link that had been auto-emailed to my college email address, and that link pre-filled in my real name in the account setup process.
Well, that's not good. It's frustrating that there isn't a customer support division that you can talk to either, at least for escalated issues like the ones we face.
Aside from wanted to rely on cops/ambulance on any emergency that happens after two drinks, you are assuming that the system works well in nominal cases, and won’t have specific bugs that will prevent driving in otherwise ok circumstances.

For instance alcohol sensors used by cops need to be recalibrated every so often. Even less sophisticated systems like tire pressure on modern cars work well most of the time, but will fail and need repair at some point. These sensors used to check your intoxication status will fail and you might not be able to drive your car to the repair shop. Or worst case scenario they fail because you are in problematic situation that triggers the false alarm and you’re double stuck there.

Overall I don’t see a track record that warrants us to be optimistic about this working as well as we want to…

It is kind of hard to sleep to, I agree. This is a deepfake voice, ie it's generated by Google's WaveNet, which afaik is a deep learning thing. Unfortunately they didn't have a more whispered/softer voice, but I like the insanity of the generated stories anyway.

>While you're not wrong about Russia, similar things can be said about the US and its allies (of which my own country is one).

There is nothing comparable between Russia and US and it's allies because Russia is not democratic country and as such values and intentions are completely different.

>So yes, please use both Yandex and Google for search, read RT as well as the New York Times, Al Jazeera, AFP, etc.

I am sorry but you cannot recommend deliberate lies machines as the source of information. I mean you can but the value of RT as source of information is zero if one has brain and knows how RT works.

For the source of information one should check the source and how it is reliable. If it's not then it is not the source of information.

They are similar publications to the point many articles in Haaretz are translated from NYT.
Both have progressive editorial lines and a similar interest in culture. Elitist is maybe the word.

However Haaretz routinely publishes opinions against the editorial line and has a cadre of right wing writers, whereas NYT has a shit storm and people losing their jobs over an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton. Haaretz is much more neutral as a whole (by allowing both extremes) and still tries to adhere to old school newspaper values; NYT since 2016 became a tool of progressive indoctrination. I never feel that reading Haaretz.

No, I'm providing what you asked for: A measurement of excess deaths.

That is, not just the number of people who died, but the number calculated to have died over and above the normal seasonal average.

If those excess death calculations are perfectly acceptable to calculate the effect of bad flu seasons and other mortality-affecting events, why are they suddenly not okay now?

The data I mentioned about testing per capita is through today. In concrete numbers, Japan has performed ~25 million tests and has a population of ~125 million.

There are THREE articles, and I chose them so that they spanned the past two years. The second article is from June 28, 2021 and the headline is "Testing at elderly care facilities expands, but at a snail’s pace".

He forgot to mention the Urban bus factor anti-pattern. (comparable to Brooke's Law. The more you add to a project, the longer it will take)

The lower the bus factor, the better the project. Raising the bus-factor to fight the bus-factor will lead to worse projects.

You can easily see that with popular open source projects. The more committers and managers you get, the more fighting, re-architecturing for the worse and harmful meta discussions how a project should be led. Eg COC.
Good projects are usually led by 1, max 2. Everything above that is critical. If the one is hit by bus, another one can take over eventually. But not before. And it might need 10 years to find the one.

"most websites" has not been my experience at all. Sure, for the big ones like email that's and a lot of dev tooling that's the case. But there's a huge amount of services that requires SMS verification and once you loose access to that number you get locked out. A very common case is loosing ones phone (or having it stolen), at which point you have to log into your accounts again from another device but also don't have access to your SIM anymore.

I too faced the exact same issue, lost 2FA recovery codes as it was saved in Google Drive (lol).

The most frustrating thing was that even though my phone number was linked to my Google Account, they didn't have an option to send OTP to my phone number to reset my password. Even after contacting Google support nothing helped, eventually I gave up and created a new account :/
This is a beautiful desk setup. Do you prefer having the gaps in between?
Looks pretty nice, especially the USB-C input. I might have gotten that one if it had been available when I was shopping for an e-Ink screen.

I got a Dasung 13" one a while ago, the larger Dasung wasn't launched yet (and I was struggling a bit to justify the price tag of the 13", now I'd probably go for the larger one). It's very limited, basically only works for black and white text, but for that it's great. I use it pretty much daily, just keeping a shell open there. I've changed my terminal to be black on white and all colors map to light/dark gray (for light/dark versions of the basic terminal colors), which works decently. I did change themes for things like tmux and vim to work better on a grayscale screen.

Reading text on it is great, but compared to a Kindle Oasis (whatever the newest model was last summer) its DPI is quite low, so you can't have text as small without it getting blurry. I mostly got it because I noticed that I was getting some eye strain staring at a regular screen all day and as best as I can tell it really has helped with that. It's also powered off of USB, which makes it usable on the go as a second screen.

My main gripe is using a Mini-HDMI-Port with a custom cable to inject power from USB (I think HDMI->Mini-HDMI plus a separate USB cable for Micro-USB input also work, never tried), but it's also a bit annoying that the inputs are on the sides and not the back. I also use it with a monitor arm at home, the included pole for standing it up is ok for on the go, but I really wouldn't use it permanently.

TL;DR: expensive, but if you want to reduce eye strain while reading a lot of text it really helps. Main driver for shell / coding tasks and I sometimes read longer websites/Google Docs/etc on it, though less frequently.
Now you're just shifting the goal posts.

Excess death tracking is hardly a new thing, most countries have been doing it for decades to measure the effect of things like flu outbreaks. Therefore when those same statistics being done using the same approach suddenly show huge climbs in 2020 and 2021 it means something.

Stop trying to minimise the pandemic. If your arguments about how to deal with it are rational they should stand up to the reality of how serious it really is, rather than a pretend reality where people haven't been dying in large numbers and filling up hospitals for two years.

There is no easy answer to that question to my knowledge. All of what hospitals do is translated into the Dutch equivalent of diagnosis-related groups. Those DRGs are standardized across the hospitals doing procedures. Insurers bargain with hospitals (usually on a higher level) for price-setting. So while there are DRGs that probably have a large IC-component, most have only a little. So the costs of IC are reimbursed via all treatments that have an average IC-component.

A hospital with a good cost based activity system could probably tell you more, although that would require a very high measure of control.

Dutch press just reports the general direction of (internal) prices for IC-days (about € 3k / night). That really is nowhere close to the proper answer to the question "How much would expansion cost?" The sum based on that € 3k would be: €3k * 365 * 65% * 1200 = about € 850 million for the whole of IC-care. That is a low figure for the Netherlands (€ 25 billion total medical specialist care), so I expect a lot of the IC-costs are absorbed by other DRGs or the other way around: that price doesn't include all of the fixed costs and is a marginal price.
You'll still end up in the room regardless. Most governments are pretty interested in people who carry large amounts of gold through borders! They might make you forfeit that gold if they don't like your answers, or if you have too much.

Cryptocurrency's digital nature makes it much more useful than gold. It can be stored like gold in a vault, but it can also be transmitted over the internet like a bank transfer. It's pretty incredible stuff.
Well, I personally had a >2 week long reaction, and after the second shot, was informed that yes, it probably was some sort of allergic reaction. What was it? We still don't know

Regarding correlations between the two, it's a bit difficult to tell. After all, you can't really get a correlation between the intensity of vaccine reaction and actual virus exposure for... obvious reasons.

However, (I'm a bit rusty on my allergy and autoimmunity, so if someone catches a mistake, please call me out on it) allergic reactions and the viral reactions tend to present themselves differently. The common image of swelling and inability to breathe are almost completely associated with allergy, while the fever, tiredness and so on tend to be more standard.

> I had to drive 'erratic' a moment ago not because I am drunk or fell asleep, but because a kid ran into a street and I had to do an evasive maneuver" one.

I kept getting warnings of 'erratic' driving from my VW and I couldn't figure out what was going on. I finally figured it out. The car was seeing asphalt repair patches on the road, which are by their nature wiggly lines. It clearly figures the line is straight and the car is swerving all over the place.

It also wants to hit the brakes any time the car in front is braking and my foot is on the throttle. Ok, but this fails constantly in two situations. First is if the car in front is turning left and I'm moving around it on the right. Second is if I'm far enough back that I'm ok with light throttle even though the car in front is braking.

So, yes, I have less than full confidence that a drunk driving detection system won't fail. The question really becomes whether the net benefit outweighs the potential failures. With the VW applying the brakes, I accepted the annoyances the first time it saved me from plowing into the car in front of me when they unexpectedly hit the brakes on a highway on-ramp and I was watching the traffic on the highway instead of the car in front.

I haven't used this product, but if you look at the linked YouTube video starting at around 11 minutes you can see it going from "ghosting" that's hardly noticeable when reading an article, to really noticeable ghosting and lower resolution (but much faster refresh rate) in the "video mode". If you're watching a video presumably the "ghosting" would all mush together.

E.g. at 11m47s[1] the reviewer is in the text mode, hasn't pressed the manual refresh button, and when I pause the video the text doesn't seem to have any visible artifacts (maybe some for around half a second, until the image "settles"?).

I agree that it would suck for a lot of applications, but as a secondary screen to read text/documentation, or even watch the scrolling output from a CI system this seems amazing.

Have you used this display in person? Is it worse than it seems to be in that video? If so for what (if any/all) modes and use-cases?

I don’t think App Engine shares a Linux kernel between users. That would be a surprising level of confidence in lack of Linux system call vulnerabilities that no other cloud vendor seems to have (see AWS’s Firecracker VM or Google’s own gVisor).

So at the end of the day, you’re still going to be dealing with a hypervisor. It’s also worth noting that at least AWS appears to hardware accelerate their paravirtualized interfaces so it’s not necessarily the case that IO operations are causing VM exits.
Yes, that too!

Disk encryption, aggressive lock screen timeouts, etc -- that's all good stuff in addition.

But the point is that defense-in-depth works, and passwords can be a meaningful part of the strategy.

A podcast is at-the-very-least a rss feed where items have a media enclosure element pointing to something for a pod-catcher to download [1].

If something else allows you to listen to episodic content via a player and does not satisfy this condition then it is factually wrong to call it a podcast. Do you think a TV show released weekly on Netflix is also a podcast?

You can't listen to what you have made without having a spotify account (or clicking directly on the webpage), ergo it's not a podcast.

Being woke is not simply that, though. At the risk of being pejorative, it involves being smug about possessing such awareness, and judgemental about others’ supposed lack of it. That smugness may be exuberant but innocent (e.g. teenagers), or it may be hostile (e.g. uni students seeking to de-platform people).

I agree that the article would have been better to steer clear of implied pejoratives.

Indeed, from the description it sounds like their work setup doesn't have enough ambient light for confortable reading conditions.
Yeah like every other article they use a formula to calculate what is "excessive" which is not explained at all, and is used as the whole basis of the article. I took a peak in the github repo and I can't really read R well enough to make anything of it, but from a quick look and reading the article "take the number of people who die from any cause in a given region and period, and then compare it with a historical baseline from recent years" it could be a well defined prediction, or it could just be an average. It's unclear as the method section here is completely unknown, and I'm sceptical how you could ever calculate a fixed number prediction without obscuring the standard deviation.

Why not just show standard deviation, median, average, percentile. Show the standard deviation in the graph.
