An article clearing it up a bit: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/renault-zoe-give...

Matthew Avery, Euro NCAP board member and chief research and strategy officer at Thatcham, told Autocar: “Every few years, Euro NCAP raises the bar by introducing new tests which either exploit new technologies or lift the hurdle to make manufacturers do better. If everyone is five-star, we need to lift the barrier."

As a result of these alterations, he explained: “When we first tested the Zoe, it did reasonably well and had all the elements you needed back then to get a reasonable score. But if you've still got the same design 10 years later, you aren't going to score as well.”

"The Zoe was launched in 2013 and received 5 stars with Euro NCAP protocol at that time. The Euro NCAP protocol has since 2013 undergone five changes. With the same equipment, a model can lose up to two stars in each protocol change.

I was not aware how quickly and dramatically the tests change, it makes comparison between different models almost useless unless you read through entire test protocols.
I assumed the OP meant that sharing it here would mean someone on the YT team would see it and fix it. As opposed to having their hacker ethos win out and let the bug stay I guess?
Capitalism is about a free market, not collusion with the government to force vaccines on citizens.
Well.

The flu isn't always mild, especially as you get older. Depending on the year a couple hundred thousand Americans wind up in the hospital and about 10-20k die. [1] Compared to COVID-19 (hence the "politicization of getting the vaccine) it's not that bad but it's still not great.

Now what is the cost of getting a flu vaccine every year? Well, for most people it's 0. You walk in, get a shot, walk out. Arm is sore for a day or two at most and that's it. Then in getting the flu shot you reduce your own chance of getting the flu and reducing severity if you do get it anyway (which many people do), and you lower the risk for others who might be immunocompromised, susceptible to the flu, etc. Now I understand if you want to make the case that society shouldn't pay for it or that it's not worth it or w/e, but on an individual level there seems to be a ton of upside versus the downside.

So what's the downside of the flu shot? You're inconvenienced. That's about it. Unfortunately it's hard to measure the value of that inconvenience versus the upside, so, as typical human nature goes, you just value your inconvenience and then decide not to get a flu vaccine. Unfortunately it's just human nature. The same human nature manifests in all sorts of "I got mine" kinds of ways, ranging from global warming to opposing healthcare for all (why don't they just get insurance like me?).

If anything I think the dividing line isn't so much political (though it's now being used politically), it's who is willing to make sacrifices for the good of society. In the case of the flu vaccine here what I'm hearing you say is basically "welp, I don't see how it benefits me so I don't care". Is that not the case?

> it seems deeply silly to me to get a yearly shot just to cut down on the chance of mild illness

As someone who now just grabs the flu shot whenever it's available and I happen to be in a convenient spot the 1-3 days I might feel like crap seem like an awfully high price to pay for not getting a shot that takes 5 minutes. At least practically speaking. Idk. I don't like getting sick and the shot doesn't bother me at all.

I want to like PowerShell, but some basic design decisions really irk me. Specifically Verb-Noun command names seem so backwards. I want to start with the domain and then specify the action I want to perform in that domain. Noun-Verb would make so much more sense (and naturally group commands together when sorting alphabetically). Which brings up the other annoyance: long capitalized names with dashes in the middle. It's so annoying to type! Repeatedly typing dash followed by a shift-key combination adds enough friction to notice the burn. Finally, options are also too long. Compare `rm -rf` with `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force`. Capitals, dashes, long words... It's too much!
It keeps the code flow, which lives in the C file, easier to read. You can assume the function does the appropriate thing for the given configure situation without having to keep track of all the compile-time conditionals as you scan the implementation.
If it's running on the Tezos blockchain, anyone can make any NFT from Ubisoft into an NFT on their own game. You just have to connect to the user's wallet and decide to build an asset for the players that matches the NFT. Doesn't mean it has to be same thing.

1. Ubisoft - You can buy an NFT gun skin in R6 that also gives you a similar sword skin in Assassin's Creed. Or you might require 3 NFTs from R6 to gain a rare NFT in Assassin's Creed. Again, people who don't want to play Assassin's Creed can now suddenly sell their R6 loot to AC players and make money out of it.

2. Indie Dev - if you're making an indie shooter, because for instance Rainbow 6 has made changes you don't like, you can build similar skins that were in the original NFT. Community can jump into your game with full compatibility to their old NFTs.

3. Indie Dev 2 - You're making a completely different game but you want to capture some attention. You build some of the most popular Ubi NFTs onto your game. whatever it is. Could be it just grants you access to a rare Pokemon. Doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want.

No one is saying the same asset will be there in multiple engines, you can do whatever you like and offer it to the users who have that NFT. A gun skin can become land, or a dragon, or whatever you want. The NFT is just a record, a deed. What you make in your game is up to you.
When I see threads like these with all the buried/flagged comments I get strong "dangerous thinking" vibes. I won't be taking any more of these.
Except for many cohorts, the overwhelming — near certain — odds are that they’d be fine after contracting COVID.
I once wrote a python script that went through the various ticket prices on the megabus website (which used simple GET queries in the url), to find out future dates with cheap tickets.

It's the kind of thing that you could do by hand, but the website (intentionally?) made it a tedious and time-consuming clicking exercise to compare effectively.

They changed their API eventually, but I made decent use of the script for a couple of years.

To me it looks like the lind of script that, had it gotten traction, Megabus would have changed their interface a LOT sooner (and also I'd be competing with others over the cheap tickets!); so I kept it to myself.
If there only was another way to turn on a lamp…
Apparently, these app vendors go to a lot of trouble to protect the screenshot blocking ability. They test for rooted iOS devices and make decisions on how to even allow the app to launch if rooting has been detected as they know that part of the use of the rooted OS is to get arround screenshot detection.
> Today, computer- playing programs remain consistently super-human, and one of the strongest and most widely-used programs is Stockfish.

This is just a general effort to describe the present state of things. When they explicitly describe their evaluation process, they are sure to use the version number. They then _immediately_ drop the version number in subsequent usage which is culturally standard in research papers so they don't concern themselves with minute details of every single thing they find themselves redescribing. Believe me, you don't want to read the verbose version of this paragraph.

> In chess, we evaluated PoG against Stockfish 8, level 20 [81] and AlphaZero. PoG(800, 1) was run in training for 3M training steps. During evaluation, Stockfish uses various search controls: number of threads, and time per search. We evaluate AlphaZero and PoG up to 60000 simulations. A tournament between all of the agents was played at 200 games per pair of agents (100 games as white, 100 games as black). Table 1a shows the relative Elo comparison obtained by this tournament, where a baseline of 0 is chosen for Stockfish(threads=1, time=0.1s).
1. Postgres's json is limited to standard json. MongoDB supports additional scalar types, like blobs and dates.

2. MongoDB's drivers are designed to handle documents. If you use postgres directly, you have to build that part yourself (effectively a kind of ORM, including a query builder)
Because as new variants with lower virulence emerge, and we see more breakthrough and reinfection cases, that direct link will become less direct.

We don't lock down for the flu because the virulence of the flu is lower than covid and we consider it acceptable. At some point, we'll pass those acceptability thresholds for COVID as well.

For some people, and regions, they already have passed those thresholds, as both severity and people's acceptance of different outcomes vary.
Because they start at the conclusion and work backwards.

"It isn't what I'm used to, therefore bad, now let me figure out why." After that the length of commands is an easy target, in particular if you don't know enough about it to criticize it for anything substantive.
Thanks for the reference. It's interesting that they work that close to the stability limits without just adding some slope reinforcement. It doesn't leave much room for error (execution error, erosion over time, unexpected surcharge load, stability changes with soil saturation, or earthquake).

That's very much a [citation needed]--all previous coverage I've seen of Rust support in the Linux kernel has indicated that the mood of the Linux developers generally is at least "cautiously supportive."

I believe OP is referencing "Original antigenic sin" [0].

"This leaves the immune system "trapped" by the first response it has made to each antigen, and unable to mount potentially more effective responses during subsequent infections."

'Tech' fibers such as capilene for shirts do a great job without making you absolutely miserable like cotton would in the heat. For multi-hour mid-day hikes in the middle of summer (>100F daily temperatures) I wear my 50 SPF 92% polyester/8% spandex long sleeve hoodie. It's white so it reflects heat, and the synthetic mix allows it to breathe and be flexible. As it gets soaked through with sweat, it does tend to retain more heat, so it takes careful planning to find shade and dry off.

But you can create PowerShell cmdlets using C#. If you're doing something that would really needs compile-time checks, simply extract the logic into a C# class inheriting from Cmdlet, and use that cmdlet in your scripts as needed:

Not really, that's apples to oranges comparison comparing this to something like a Tesla, Ioniq or one of the large expensive electric SUVs. Something like Ioniq 5 is almost twice as big compared to a Zoe ...

Zoe is an urban supermini, only slightly bigger than a Smart or Twingo. And with minimal equipment (no expensive assistive systems) to bring the price down because otherwise it wouldn't be possible to sell it.

Zoe pricing starts at 32500€ (comparably or even larger sized Clio at about 15000€). It used to be possible to buy it cheaper - but then you needed to add monthly rent of the battery pack (battery pack was leased from the manufacturer, you don't buy it with the Zoe - Renault specialty)

So there simply isn't either physical or pricing space for any fancy equipment like extra airbags, electronic safety/assistive systems, etc. - and that's where Zoe was losing big time in the NCAP tests.

> Calling out to another script/dynamic powershell, or maybe is referring calling a cmdlet(is that what they were called) with the wrong arguments, goes power-shell check for that?

Can any scripting language check for that? It is beyond the scope of what an interpreter has available to it.
I think the idea is more that they have less time to spend worrying about compiling or deploying C# applications.

Reminds me of a younger self going to interview for the technical team at a bank. I arrived full of youthful zest, thoroughly aced the interview. One of the interviewers, who already looked rather zombie-like, accompanied me to the exit. As I walked off he lit a cigarette and shouted after me, "don't accept the offer, this is not a place for someone like you!"

Made a variety of friends over the years who have shared stories of that bank. It's notorious, the interviewer was absolutely right.

in general even if decent copies are easy drm can be effective: not in preventing copies but in making paying users feel they got their worth.

I've left bad reviews on manufacturer websites and often times they just never publish them so I don't really trust reviews anywhere more or less than Amazon reviews.
My point is that this glowing report is from the same company trying to collude with governments to force the vaccines. It may be "optional" for some people (not at my company if I want to keep my office job!), but they sure are trying hard to change that. And you know that, which makes your statement disingenuous.
Assuming its not trivial, its hiding a useful tool from your coworkers. Why share any knowledge at all? Why mentor someone if it just gets them more work?

If the US didn't have their weird death laws with inheritance and 0% loans trickle-down would work.

It's very simple. A billionaire can do 3 things with their money:

1)spend it reinserting it into the economy- this 'trickles the money down'.

2)invest it- this funds projects and/or decreases yield ratios (thus making capital cheaper) which in the longer-term reinsterts the money into the economy.

3)burn it - this creates disinflation which increases the value of every other dollar thus reinserting money into the economy.
Yeah, this was definitely a concern for me when building Mu. What do you think of the one font Mu has? It's http://unifoundry.com/unifont.

My thoughts exactly. Why suffer through 1-2 days of sickness every 6 months to protect myself against an illness that I've already had and poses no threat to my demographic anyway? Sounds like the cure is worse than the disease. I smell a rat.
don't understand this sentiment at all. I have no idea what any of what you're posting has to do with "well intentions" or "money mak[ing] people do anything".

Pretty sure they're saying that the YT developers would break their cool hack if they knew about it, because they want to keep their jobs (eg, getting paid, or "making money"). Sounds like the OP wants to view all developers as adhering to some Platonic ideal version of a "hacker ethic" where they wouldn't do something like that for a reason as banal as money.

I can sympathise with this position, but I acknowledge the reality that - at the end of the day - people are usually going to prioritize buying food, paying rent, etc., over adherence to abstract ethical principles. That's unfortunate in many ways, but hunger is a powerful motivation.

Are you just mad that dislikes were removed from YouTube? I don't see what that has to do with any of those statements.

I get the impression that the OP thing was lamenting the YT thing both specifically and as an example of a general class of similar situations... places where you have to hold back from sharing a neat hack because if you shared it, somebody would come along and ruin it.
> This really, really angers me. Even with people i kind of agree with.

When lazy or dishonest or weak arguments are used, I get more upset if it’s in support of things I agree with than things I don’t.

It undermines the position and makes it that much harder to discuss it in the future because I now have to disentangle from that on top of actually making a proper argument in favor of the position.

Certainly the level of "due diligence" is higher for a driver than a pedestrian, because cars present a high level of danger. But to claim that the driver is always at fault is silly.

I find it hard to believe.

The easiest kind of fusion (D+T) by far uses Deuterium and Tritium and produces copious quantities of neutrons, more than either a thermal or fast fission reactor. There is a certain thickness of shielding you need to stop the neutrons and it's not small. Handling tritium is also a pain because it is an isotope of hydrogen that will go between the atoms of many metals, get incorporated into water supplies, etc. If somebody is handling tritium at energy-production scale you will always hear about leaks to the environment even if these are "mostly harmless."

Other kinds of fusion are a lot harder. The difficulties that drive fusion reactors like ITER to be huge would drive them to be even larger. I'd imagine interstellar travelers somewhere have huge D+D reactors so they can "live off the land" on Oort cloud objects.
Short answer: yes. I will take PowerShell over bash/unix with its numerous antiquated footguns and coreutils' horrifically inconsistent and unreadable switches and clumsy text parsing any day.

Even within the unix community there are efforts like Elvish and NuShell trying to be more like PowerShell because it's obviously better.
It is likely that the cause or at least a cause of rare blood clots has been found. There is a chance that adenovirus used to make vaccines can bind to a specific clotting factor in the blood which then in rare cases may be attacked by antibodies created by the immune system to fight the infection.

You cannot "elect" to not get a vaccine and be just fine. You're just relying on your luck after electing not to reduce the risks.

The risks vary with different diseases, and in different people, and in different demographic environments. But with covid, it's quite clear that for all adults, the risk reduction by vaccine far outweighs the risks of vaccine complications.

A majority of deaths in the winter months will be elderly people with underlying health conditions that might have died from a flue or cold virus if covid was not circulating. It's more interesting to see excess deaths for this winter. I have a hunch excess death rates will be similar to 2019.
What’s interesting is how the other makers still keep a decent score through the years. In Zoe’s case it seems they really optimized for the 2013 tests and had nothing to show for the more challenging tests.
