She, as a family doctor, was fast to alert from the front lines. But she is not an infectious disease specialist.

The first doctors seeing HIV cases in California without knowing what it was, yet alerting the medical community, were not the same people who brought us the current medication that controls it

Her position on the front lines is very important. But the decision on how dangerous the variant is should be given to those who specialize in just that (and would probably suck at diagnosing you with a stomach ulcer)

Can someone ELI5 DAOs please? Ideally without the buzzwords and more focused on the value they create and how.

I'm a software engineer but the idea of a "smart" contract working as an "organisation", none of which can be undone when there is an error seems like it has massive risk attached and little to no benefit.

It doesn't seem "decentralized" as there are still organised parties to write and deploy code and the tokens that inevitably belong with each DAO are usually majority held by the creators.

Currently I like the __idea__ of a DAO but see them massively overhyped and unable to describe or prove their actual value.

Please change my view.
> Seems to me this "personhood" concept mainly muddies the waters

As personhood is legally expanded it only follows that other consequences of it will change as well. If it's traditional for personhood to stipulate responsibilities but personhood is too good of a defense for these assets, then I'd bet the responsibilities will shift into a different classification. We already have similar splits between personhood and citizenship.
I agree with this, but in many places in the US health authorities have kept mask mandates indefinitely, regardless of current hospital capacity.
Wikipedia is a good example. Google considers it a high value website (less so than before but still) while it only has a single article about each topic. Other projects have entire websites dedicated to the single topic, products, experts on staff, live support. I presented as an example to some google engineers the wp page on suicide that explains popular ways of doing it vs dedicated prevention projects. Today (for me) it ranks the topic: 1-3) news articles, 4) world health organization statistics, 5) wikipedia, 6) Suicide prevention.

ABC news, the NYT, WP and the WHO are considered high profile but the topic is not their area of expertise. Non of them would consider themselves the go-to place for people searching for it.
Very interesting, biography added to the "To read" list.

> search engines are used to find things publicly available on the internet

This used to be the case. As the internet grew in size search providers felt it was in best interest in general user to cull these results and present their definition of best at the top. They wanted to solve the needle in the hay-stack problem by taking all the noise out and funneling the best result to the top.

Best is a subjective term and I don't think I agree with it. However, your definition is not the same as Googles. Search providers can define what their search engine does the same way a restaurant gets to decide what's on its menu even though all restaurants serve food.

Ditto. I've seen ES / Cassandra cluster management casually dropped on a team who just happen to use an frontend that relies on them. Those are usually the most brittle, unloved databases in the world, and everyone on the team ends up walking away with the false impression that "X is a tire fire, never use it".

The South African scientists I have read saying "over-reacting" also agree with what you summarize as most researchers saying: "we will have to pay attention to it".

They say we are over-reacting because many places are doing more than paying attention to it, making policy decisions and instituting additional restrictions based on unproven fears about it, not just paying attention to it.

The South African scientists who discovered it don't have more authority on the topic than everyone else, but they have as much or more than many. They have more than, say, me. They probably have as much as most other scientists in the field, since they're on the ground with access to evidence, and for longer than anyone else.
First things that come to mind is they don't come up in the default search (you have to manually toggle to a separate search of your library), and also they don't show up in the web player at all.
You're still required to keep records for things like tax purposes. More importantly, however, this is a service specifically designed to launder money which is going to look like a public declaration of intent to law enforcement types.

Since this costs money to use, most people are not going to use it unless they're trying to hide something so the big risk I'd worry about is similar to the risks of running a Tor exit node in your house. What happens when someone else using that service is investigated for some serious crime? Anyone who has transactions going to or from that pool is going to be under suspicion and it's really hard to _prove_ that you weren't knowingly helping them launder money when you have a public log of transactions involving the target.

Amazing. So now you can steal a bunch of crypto and wash it. Holy shit, if you then create some BS coin which gets a bunch of "investors" (really just you investing the coins you stole), you could steal hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars and get it fully laundered and recognized as legitimate by the government, all from your computer anywhere in the world.

Mask effectiveness is to help prevent you spreading things. When you exhale, water droplets are still quite large and some will get caught on the fibers in even a t-shirt mask. After that has dissipated in the air, it will be smaller and will be breathed in through all but the best masks. There were lots of videos online when this became an issue where people showed how when it is really cold, you can "see" your breath (this is solely caused my warm moist air condensing into a "cloud" in the cold air). Put on even a crappy mask and you can't "see" it anymore. Sure it isn't 100% blocking but clearly is blocking moisture. Also, if you wear a heavy mask for a while, you will notice that it feels damp inside.
I heard some people having a decent time with Edge in the past with some features implementations. Not that I would use it myself, but I'm firmly convinced these childish plays only ruin whatever good work was done on it. Who on Earth would continue using a browser that has such hostile behavior and dark patterns all over the place e.g., buy-now-pay-later at browser level?

It's so hard to trust Microsoft anyway, I'm glad 11 is such a tranwreck dead on arrival. Makes it easier to discourage people from using it, ever.

10 Shocking Predictions for 2022 from Saxo Bank
This ignores a major factor driving usage of cloud-native services — namely that you don’t have to go through a corporate procurement process to use them, you can just use them. Which is why you’ll see any service offered by the major cloud providers achieve meaningful market share, even with an inferior product.
The basic problem with the argument against moderation is that the Internet started without moderation.

You could post whatever you wanted to Usenet. You could email whatever you wanted to anyone, and they would see it in their inbox. Heck you could “finger” to see who was online in remote networks, and “talk” to open a live chat with anyone, totally unmediated by any commercial product. You could log in to open FTPs and trade files.

We’ve been to that particular heaven, and most people didn’t like it.

Why? While trafficking in CSM was an important and awful consequence, the negative that dominated most people’s experience was spam. That’s why web forums beat Usenet; that’s why centralized webmail beat a forest of naked email servers. Etc.

People don’t actually want unmoderated search; it would be choked with spam.

What people actually want is whatever they want, as easily and cheaply as they can get it. The Pirate Bay and other file sharing services are popular not because they represent some sort of libertarian ideal, but simply because they shovel a lot of great content to people for free.

Of course they’re popular! A person handing out $10 bills on the street corner will be popular too. But it kind of matters where he or she got those $10 bills. There are societal side effects we might want to manage.
There might be effective drug treatment in the near future. It would be nice to not get COVID to then.

FWIW, case rates in Japan are near nil (~15 people daily in Tokyo), the vaccination rate is closing in on 80%, and everyone still wears a mask.

I don't know about "forever", but people in Japan have no problem wearing masks in public while asymptomatic with low case rates because we know it's a public health issue, and it's working. That's why we keep wearing them.

I wasn't used to masking up pre-pandemic. I got used to it within the first month. Now I can't leave the house without a mask on. It feels wrong. (This doesn't mean I'm deathly afraid to remove/lower it, e.g. while eating at restaurants or when I'm outside with nobody around and I feel like a bit of a break).
The service worth paying for is turning the collection of facts into usable information.
Minimal containers shouldn't need that though. Your logs should tell you enough about the application it's running. K8s (get/describe) should tell you about the lifecycle of the pod. Lastly something like "dive" should tell you all you need about the image's file layout.

I don’t understand what the end goal of the governments are supposed to be by “dehumanizing” and “terrifying” the populace. When I ask this question I get the absolutely useless response of “control”. What kind of control? How? We have laws that limit behavior in a variety of ways already.
He's saying (approximately correctly) that everyone will get COVID eventually.

> Where are the anti-clothers protesting in state capitals?

> Why is being required to wear a mask in public any different than being required to wear pants?

I was one of the people defending the mitigations early on, speaking out against the "conspiracy theorists" - those who said the new controls by those in power would never be given up and that this would be the new normal.

I slowly came to see that they were right. Sentiments like this prove it.
Does Aruba instant on allow for multiple VLAN solely for wireless clients by SSID?

I love Meraki stuff, so I looked into Meraki Go, and they handicapped Meraki Go by only allowing VLAN for devices with wired connections to the switch. I want the ability to setup a wireless SSID, apply a VLAN to it, and have any wireless devices connected to that SSID be on that VLAN.

It is a shame that someone turned a health crisis into a political issue.
and it's not piracy in all countries. Not all countries are the USA.
I think it may ultimately be more useful to think of mask mandates as an effect rather than a cause of reduced disease spread. Communities that are culturally predisposed toward prosociality don't actually need mandates to produce collective behaviors that reduce spread. It's politically viable to impose a mask mandate in those places, even though it's unnecessary for producing a public health impact. The converse, in areas where it's politically infeasible for public officials to impose a mandate, appears in a population where individuals are not predisposed to adopting public health measures on their own.
Lots of bugs aren't particularly exploitable. As Tavis notes, one of the major problems here is that there's a structure containing function pointers adjacent to the buffer.

If all you have is a stack overflow you may have your work cut out for you.

Further, while this bug may exist, assertions elsewhere could have meant it was unexploitable. So in isolation it's an overflow but in context it's not reachable. That didn't happen here. This happens a lot actually.

> Both of the men Rittenhouse killed were unarmed.

All of the people Rittenhouse shot at were armed. Multiple witnesses including the state's testified to the fact that Rosenbaum, the pedophile screaming the N-word repeatedly that night (and he was white in case you're wondering) who was shot first, was lunging and trying to grab the gun. A person becomes armed when he attempts to take another person's weapon.

The second man shot at, "jump kick man," was using his feet as weapons when he was shot at. When we use even our bodies in a violent manner, they become weapons.

The second man shot was in the act of wielding his skateboard as a weapon, and also grabbed the gun. He became armed when he started using the skateboard as a weapon, and further when he grabbed the gun.

The final person shot was literally armed with an illegally-possessed handgun. He was not shot until he approached Rittenhouse and pointed it at Rittenhouse's head.

All armed.

> Whether he had a legal right to be carrying the gun or not is a little more contentious. Although his possession of the gun was in line with the letter of the law, it seems likely from the wording that the exception was intended to apply to minors hunting and is poorly written, rather than an intentional decision to allow 17 year olds to carry AR-15s. Poorly worded laws are read in favour of the defence, which is why the gun charge was dropped. He likely would not have been allowed to buy or possess the gun in his home state.

It seems to me that banning sixteen and seventeen year olds from possessing sawed-off shotguns and pistols makes sense outside of a hunting context. I personally didn't find the law particularly strangely worded, unless we're going in with the expectation that it will nail a kid.

FWIW, Rittenhouse testified on the stand that he had asked police for advice before his friend bought the rifle, and was told their arrangement complied with the law. That may not be a real legal defense, but I mean, sheesh. Hard to fault anyone who takes pains to comply with the law.

> But whatever the legality, I don't think it's right that a guy can go tooled up to another city, kill two unarmed people, and pose for celebratory photos with white supremacists afterwards.

His father and grandmother live in Kenosha. He had a job there. He had in fact been photographed cleaning graffiti from the walls of a Kenosha high school earlier that same day. It was "his city" as much as anyone else's.

Sweden did a nationwide study, it didn't end well.[1] Several of the bad variants also originated from countries which did not participate in full lockdown (India, Brazil).

They're only arbitrary and pointless if you believe the goal is public health.

Imagine seeing what's going on in eg Australia and still thinking this is about a virus!
Yes respirators are better than cloth. Both make sense when getting close to strangers, like in a bus, train or airplane. They don't make sense outside where people density is low. Effectiveness most probably tanks immensely once you get into a room with bad air exchange were infectors spend longer time. These contraptions can't stop viral particles from saturated air going through the microscopic and macroscopic holes.
Let’s say you carry a gun. Someone attempts to rape you. Nobody is likely to die. Your argument says that you should just be raped.

There’s a case (I think it might still be pending) about a drunk guy who hits someone one time and kills them. I’ve seen a video of a kid hitting his friend and killing them. In fact, a lot of people have died from being hit just one time the wrong way.

Even if he weren’t armed, Rosenbaum still chases him down. Rosenbaum’s buddy Zaminski had a gun too. If they’d pinned him down, they might have shot him given all the trouble they went through to ambush him.

Also, Grosskreutz is interesting. He ran down Rittenhouse while pulling a gun. At the same time, he testified he had no reason to believe Rittenhouse had shot anyone.

Mob mentality is crazy. Loads of people have died at the hands of unarmed mobs. Any individual would never hurt anyone else, but together, the mob mentality results in something terrible happens.

I use SMS. I occasionally txt actual friends I know who have amazing taste and knowledge and ask them for music recommendations.

This study is not a randomized controlled study and it lacks even modest efforts at statistically controlling for confounding factors. It is therefore not possible to draw any meaningful conclusions from it. It appears science education is not what it used to be. For a comparison between outcomes for two groups to be informative, those groups must be selected in a way that structurally eliminates the possibility of confounding factors. If that is categorically impossible to achieve, then a well-constructed study will seek to control for all conceivable confounding factors by sampling other variables and statistically controlling for the possible influence of those variables. This is not hard.
Well, it helped to aleviate the collapse of hospitals here. They were late so hospitals collapsed anyway, but could have been worse.

It's just a question of timing. Late for Madrid, nicely timed for my city.

Another new problem I see is that healthcare personnel is burnt-out. Not only because of the insane work-hours and all the jazz, they feel mistreated by politicians and society in general, and I have doubts that if they get called for a new emergency they'll go contribute in the same numbers.

The whole puzzle can be solved in just two lines of Python, but I certainly wouldn't come up with that in 1min it took the person that solved it first, since I had to take a step back and notice quite a few things (even if they're ultimately rather simple observations) to come down to such concise solution.
