Covid hasn't had an effect on insurance premiums so far. In some plan pools it saves money since treatment isn't overly costly and it has put off expensive electives (though this is offset by the general trend for healthcare costs to rise.) This was reflected in proxies such as the reduced profits of hospital healthcare organizations in the US, like HCA.
Patient transfers are also happening here in Czech Republic as well. There was a big convoy moving patients from East to slightly less affected west of the country & since then others are transferred daily via helicopters as hospital capacity dictates.

I have 2 32" monitors (https://www.samsung.com/us/business/computing/monitors/uhd-a...) rotated 90 degrees (vertical). I became the "Oh, you're the guy with the two tall monitors!" guy at work. I like it because you can see so much code all at once. It is rare that the lines of code are so long that they go off the screen. I typically have the code full screen on the left monitor (well, I usually have a terminal window open at the bottom of the screen), the browser window filling the bottom half of the right monitor, and email/slack/etc. filling the top half of the right monitor. I've found this works best for me.

So, that's illegal, for one thing. Judges can overrule the jury in a civil case, and only if they determine that "no reasonable jury could have reached the given verdict". However, that's null here, as this is a Criminal case. The judge should not, and thankfully cannot overrule the jury here, as that's a violation of the accused's 5th amendment rights.

I'd also have to ask. The jury, with more exposure to the evidence than anyone else here found him not guilty. What exceptional case/point would you make to say that would show Rittenhouse's guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt". Furthermore, the maximal, and I mean maximal, punishment for the misdemeanor is 9 months, far less than the few years you suggest.

Hey nython, i just wanted to reply again and say that I got a chance to read the whole article just now. It has really helped me put my recent experiences into context. THANK YOU.

It's been one thing for me to be on the receiving end of bad behaviour and to form an opinion and suspicions about what happened.

But it's quite another to see it played out deliberately, in the large, using trust and friendship as a weapon to defeat a group of people who aren't even playing the same game.

The remarkable thing for me is that people really are capable of this kind of shitty behaviour; that it can be entirely intentional, and planned well ahead of time. And that it doesn't matter how rich some people are, they are happy to cheat and steal just to get a little bit more. It's disgusting.

Thanks again for linking to it.

I would personally argue that as the amount of money and time required for distribution has gone down, the duration of copyright should also go down. 14+14 years was the first federal rule in the United States, and that was in an era where even electric telegraphs didn’t exist and it took several days just to send a letter 100 miles.

Actually, don’t even listen to me. In 2007, an economist named Rufus Pollock did research to determine the ‘optimal’ copyright duration to answer this question using empirically-estimable parameters and arrived at an optimum of 15 years.[0]

It is important to keep in mind that (1) copyright was supposed to promote the creation of new works, and so allowing creators to make a single hit and collect royalties until the end of time is not its purpose (at least in the United States), and (2) just because something is in the public domain doesn’t mean that the creator is now unable to make money from it.

Taking your example of the Song of Ice and Fire: if its copyright had expired before it exploded in popularity, George R.R. Martin would still be able to make money consulting for the TV adaptation. He would be able to make money giving talks and appearing at conventions. He would certainly increase the number of people giving him money on Patreon and sales of his contemporaneous books still under copyright would go up. He could cash in by quickly preparing some bonus content related to the book that is under copyright and sell it alone or as a bundle. He could do a fresh run of printed copies and tout their superior physical quality versus other copies on the market.

Fair points and I agree. And I love Matrix as a concept, it just has been really rough around the edges in practice (been on and off since 2017 or so and regular user since 2019). As I see it Signal is superior to Matrix in the (Whatsapp|Signal|FBMessenger|Telegram|whatever) space, but Matrix has great potential across the board. It just irks me when people suggest using Matrix (Element) as a replacement to Signal - the use cases are very different and the UI/UX and overall user friendliness are very different - I would never try to get my aunt on Matrix, whereas on Signal the onboarding and use is just the same as any other regular messaging app, except with top notch encryption. And I've been using Signal/TextSecure since 2013-2014 (granted I didn't have many (any) contacts using it back then).

And overall I'm happy to see continuous progress with Matrix, it's just slow IMO. But obviously you need to consider what's actually involved under the hood - where Signal has a much easier job due to its centralization.

Personally I wish both projects great success!

Yes to your first question: the example was that quarks (sub-nuclear particles) can be justifiably ignored completely in understanding/predicting some physical properties of matter, like the melting point of metals (even though metals are composed of quarks). Or more generally, quantum chromodynamics mostly has no effect on solid state physics -- and these are both sub-branches of physics! When you consider all of science/reality there are many such levels where phenomena appear at only some levels.

I don't really understand where you're going with the metaphysics/reality discussion. It seems you consider software part of metaphysics? The laptop I'm typing this on is real in Johnson's sense, as are the patterns of photons projected from the screen, and these can't be understood much of the time without having some understanding of the software it's running.

Just to establish some common ground: I agree that metaphysics is different from physics. I also agree that a thing is different from a simulation of the same thing. I get that software is more abstract than the particle interactions described in the article, and that that is perhaps a distracting difference in the example I first used, as you pointed out. If there's an interesting discussion/disagreement here it's somewhere in the neighborhood of the question: "is math part of reality?" That's something of an open philosophical question https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/289138. I think that's even more tangential than my original comment though.
Data Build Tool makes it easier to get data analysts involved, which helps bring more analytics code into version control. This is a really really good thing given that most data analysts are not software engineers and rightfully prioritize putting their analytical skills to use in the most efficient way possible, which tends to result in analysis getting lost in a data swamp.
How is SoftBank selling ARM? (And how did Google acquire Motorola and then sell them off to Lenovo, for instance?) Is there a difference between how they acquired ARM and how Nvidia wants to acquire ARM that makes it a merger instead of an acquisition or something? I honestly don't know and am curious and think there's an interesting point here if how I'm interpreting your comment is correct.
I think that's why the post said "starts a business and passes away"; they have stopped being salaried and rely on the good prospects of the ownership of an own business to do well (from salaried, to "stock" owner of something that still has very little financial value or that the financial value that it has depends on the founder still being alive).

From the OP:

> The systems that Russia and China are known to be developing or have already fielded include destructive and non-destructive types that are deployed from Earth, such as ground-based jammers, lasers, or interceptors, as well as small "killer satellites" positioned in orbit. A killer satellite able to maneuver close to its target could use various means to try to disable, damage, or even destroy it, such as jammers, directed energy weapons, robotic arms, chemical sprays, and small projectiles. It could even deliberately smash into the other satellite in a kinetic attack.

Also, how do the US military's capabilities inform us about what other militaries are doing?
Is the clarification that they're open to the public but privately owned? As distinct from spaces that are both publicly owned and open to the public like the sidewalk downtown. You can't get kicked out of the sidewalk unless you're breaking the law and get kicked out of public altogether by way of being put in the slammer.

It's kind of interesting because you could still walk by the mall if you were kicked out, looking in through the windows longing for the aroma of that giant Cinnabon just one more time. Similarly you could visit Facebook's login screen but would not be allowed to enter any more. I doubt Facebook smells quite the same in the inside, anyway.
The quality of Nvidia's linux drivers hasn't changed much. They are about as good as they were 10 years ago.

But everything else has changed around them. The quality of other drivers has improved, the linux ecosystem and what it expects out of drivers has changed, and the nvidia windows drivers have gotten features that the nvidia linux drivers don't.
In my scheme that move is just two key combos away, which seems fine to me, especially since it is rarely what I want. You could make it one key combo if you want, too, in a script if not in a single line.

I say go simple on the copyright extension formula. If you treat it as a tax (scaling by revenue or similar), it gets messy, encourages dishonesty, and pretty much forces a new subindustry to spring up. But if you keep it simple, you can achieve much the same result without needing more staff in the tax or copyright offices, or inspiring the existence of copyright lawyers or accountants.

Ten years of free protection, then costing $10 × 1.5 ⁿ ⁻ ¹ for each subsequent year. Year 10 costs $0, year 20 about $380, year 30 about $22,000, year 40 about $1,300,000, year 50 almost $75,000,000—and few fifty-year-old things will be worth $75,000,000 per year and growing to retain copyright to. And I doubt any individual work would be worth the $4.25 billion of year 60 (10 × 1.5⁴⁹, incidentally just 1% short of 2³²), so that’s a rough absolute cap of 60 years.

You could scale the $10 base figure to inflation, or you could just schedule a review every decade or so, or you could even ignore inflation altogether, which would slowly extend average copyright terms (e.g. year N today would cost similar, indexed, to year N+1 20 years ago).

Concerning your registry, I don’t think you want to require a registry for the first ten years, but only for any extensions—and make it that if anyone can prove beyond reasonable doubt that you actually published the thing earlier than the date you claim when you register it, then your work is thrown into the public domain as punishment.

We kinda did that in Czech hospitals in the 2020/2021 winter wave - students of medicine even get forced work assignments (possible in emergency state).

Back then there was no vaccine and there was really no way around that (how well people respected the emergency measures is debatable though).

Now the situation is different- we have a vaccine yet only about 60% took it & the medical personnel has go to hell yet again, taking care mainly for those who did not bother to care for their health & of others who they managed to infect. No wonder they are not very enthusiastic about comming for a second round, that was largely avoidable...

> Who is talking about limiting the freedom of vaccinated people and in what way?

Vaxxed would like to limit unvaxxed "freedom" even though they are not threatened at all by them, this is what science has been telling us for at least 5 months: vaccines work, they drastically reduce breakthrough infection and death, I don't think I need to show you the data on that.

> If I'm standing still and you punch me in the nose, how could both parties use that argument?

The fact is that they are not punching your nose at all. If you don't want to get punched you have a free effective vaccine that will put a giant steel wall in front of you and protect your nose from punches. If you don't want to get vaxxed it's your responsibility to consider that you will get a punch in your nose sooner or later.

> Your personal choice is irrelevant.

I strongly agree with this, that's why I will never limit others based on something I want or think, ever.

> You can not care about and 'respect' them choosing to drive the wrong way on the freeway with you in the car, but so what?

Nobody is driving the wrong way, getting vaxxed is not mandatory at the moment so they are doing so legally.

> They are still risking other people's lives.

Let's pretend this is true (in my useless opinion it is not since everybody can take the vaccine and be safe), as far as I know vaxxed can still spread the virus. What we also know is that vaxxed people seems to get _less_ infected, but they could very well be infected too (recent UKHA data shows that on average vaxxed people will get infected with 60% less probability than unvaxxed). Since this is a matter of getting infected or not, I don't see why vaxxed (according to your phrase) are exempt from risking other people's live just because they have a 60% less probability of getting infected and spread the virus. Me and you could very easily spread the virus and risk other people's lives as an unvaxxed.
It should double every time.
> They do prevent transmission, since they make people less likely to be infected, and if you're not infected with the virus you won't transmit it.

Incorrect. Intramuscular vaccines induce antibody production at nearby lymph nodes inside of the body; and these mRNA vaccines in particular also cause S-antibodies to circulate in one's blood (even though that's unintended and the long term effects are still unknown).

Because the intramuscular route of administration, S-antibodies are not present in significant quantities inside the lungs of vaccinated individuals. Thus with covid-19 being an airborne disease, vaccinated people can still exhale virus-containing breaths and transmit the disease to others, who can then go on to contract the illness, whether they're vaccinated or not. So while the vaccines offer protection against serious illness to those who receive it, it certainly does not prevent transmission.
Administrative overreach. If the FTC really believed they could win in a regular federal court where they did not hire and fire the judges, they would do so.

I have been amazed by otter.ai and like autotranscribe. I have to do the corrections from otter on our conferences, with a variety of English as a second language and idiomatic English accents and it's not perfect, but it's good.
