It's because vaccines use your own immune system against the infection. Your immune system is uniquely good at protecting at not just the exact disease but also possible mutations. Flu is (for the most part) the exception because it can do some unusual things.

I didn't have that option enabled before, but even with it I still see no OneDrive folder.

Also yes I login to my machine with an MS account because my license is a digital one attached to it.

In fact I see no mentions to OneDrive at all..I must have uninstalled it or removed it somehow shrug
I guess it was pretty clear that group views meant same people in that group over a period. What you are talking is simply about large organizations where many people or even generations of people have come and gone and obviously held different viewpoint.

Your comment is typical example of arguing over completely different point and then claim as counterexample to original argument.
The article isn't about PR though. It's more about internal admissions of failure.

I'm so impressed every time I use their search. It understands my query and then checks all the checkboxes on the side that apply. So you can refine by checking or unchecking them. It's absolutely flawless.

The checkout experience is also wonderful (they remember your login cookie / session forever, and the process itself is more seamless than 1-Click), the order confirmation and shipping emails are informative and visually pleasing, and when the order arrives each item is annotated with the order line number and your internal identification code.

I also love their no-branding and black-and-white drawings aesthetic. It's like they're saying "we'll find you the best brand, just pick what you actually need".

They're doing amazing. I feel like a dope when I pay twice as much as Aliexpress or whatever, but I feel even better when some screw doesn't fail a year down the road and kill me.

There are rumors of a backroom deal with the new government where the Nordstream 2 pipeline is going to be cancelled or unused in an event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Perhaps not sufficient to dissuade Putin from invading, but not nothing and it would amount to significant economic sanctions.
Japan has what amounts to the retired civil service concrete construction complex.

It's situational to a point, but it's far from just FAANG companies paying that kind of money. Looking around on levels.fyi $350-$400k / year seems pretty standard for senior engineers at post-IPO companies in the Bay Area.

> For example, the 3rd party does not loan the the funds to exercise, but directly pays the cost.

That wouldn't work. "Paying the cost" would immediately result in taxable income to the employee, instead of realizing the income a few years down the line when the debt is canceled.

There's no free lunch here. The 3rd party lost money too, because they couldn't collect the debt. If the 3rd party wanted to fully protect the employee, they could have sent an additional payment to cover the taxes. But that just means the 3rd party suffers a greater loss.

The article is heavy on opinions and anecdotes, but some data can be found toward the mid-bottom:

> In one of the clearest indications of rising recklessness, fatal accidents involving just one vehicle also rose disproportionally.

> The data also show an outsized increase in deadly accidents involving speeding, illegal substances or a failure to wear a seatbelt.

> Since the start of the pandemic, a larger share of accident victims — including those who survived — have been ejected from their vehicles, typically because they were not wearing seatbelts.

> Making the roads even more dangerous is rising drug and alcohol use. In one survey, more than 7% of adults said they were more likely to drive while impaired than they were before the pandemic.

> Federal researchers who looked at accidents in which drivers were killed or seriously injured found that the proportion who tested positive for opioids nearly doubled after the pandemic began. Marijuana use also rose considerably.

> Finally, more drivers are distracted. Researchers used GPS and other data to determine that drivers used their phones more frequently after the pandemic began, and that the problem only worsened over time.

So: More drugs, less seatbelt wearing, higher speeds, and more distractions.
Yep, my wife took a offer from a smaller company after 1 interview, versus 2 of 3 at the larger. The latter was too slow.
Here, here.

I had one person advocate for a new, shiny piece of software by telling me that what we were using was "too old", because it was from 2012. This was the sum of his technical argument. No actual pros and cons, just an assertion that what we were using was "too old". The conversation took place in 2019. It was not a date dependent issue.

Worse, what he was calling "too old" I didn't actually get to start using until 2014. I've been doing systems stuff since 1999. He essentially called my entire career obsolete because 90% of what I know was invented before 2019.
I was just asking. If you don't want to talk about what the problems are, you don't have to.

One of the best contemporary counterexamples, and incidentally one of the largest organizations in the world by official membership, is the Communist Party of China.

A lot of Mao Zedong's policies are viewed as mistakes by the Party, including the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Heck, Mao himself publicly admitted that the GLF was a mistake for which he takes responsibility.

Yet the CPC, as an organization of millions of individuals, didn't implode and remains as formidable as ever.

There are a lot of reasons for this, not least China having 5000 years experience with running civilization-scale groups.

Some reasons that almost certainly contribute to the ballooning costs of US infrastructure, although I cannot really tell what the impact is:

1) Not Invented Here syndrome. This pervades the US, not just in infrastructure, but it stands out in infrastructure simply because of how backwards US infrastructure is relative to most of the rest of the world (and not just rich countries). US infrastructure planning seems to exist in a vacuum, and pretends the rest of the world doesn't exist. Heck, it gets even worse and one district will pretend that a project conducted in a neighboring district didn't exist. Therefore American infrastructure planning never learns best practices from the rest of the world, repeat mistakes everyone else has made, refuses to use standard parts and products leading to much more expensive customized parts and products, refuses to use standardized plans, requiring expertise to build out customized plans, etc.

2) American infrastructure supporters are so starved of any infrastructure investment that they've made the spending of money an end in itself. So unlike infrastructure supporters in the rest of the world, who in addition to lobbying for more funding also try to ensure better plans so they get the most bang for the buck, American infrastructure supporters spend most of their time in just raising money. This has been shifting, thankfully, but it's still a process that's moving too slowly.

3) Not building infrastructure. The US simply hasn't built infrastructure in a while, so it lacks the expertise, logistics, and manufacturing capabilities to do this cheaply. Combined with #1 where the US refuses to seek help from outside, this is a recipe for bloated costs.

4) Patchwork of Regulations. But not the way you think. The US has far fewer regulations than many countries that build infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of the US. But the US has random regulations spread across every level. A tiny neighborhood will set standards based on no expertise whatsoever. Navigating this patchwork of regulations and approvals, etc., is a nightmare. Americans like to defend it as "democracy", but it's really a parody of democracy.
What is this publication? I can't find an author name or "about us" page on their official website or twitter bio anywhere. I gather this is a blog for the spearhead investment group which they link to on their site, but it is pretty sketchy that there is no information available about who the authors of these essays are.
Was that true in 1979?
I initially thought it was about the ISO file format for disk images and thought "but almost every Linux distro still uses them" and was very confused.
There was a callout to lisp. Common Lisp, in particular, is implemented in an amusingly large number of ways.

I think this used to be more true for all languages? Getting defined by the common implementation is something that feels more true today.
Yes, x-compiling is certainly an option, particularly since developers typically have access to hardware easily capable of such (it's just a minor pain to set-up).

Linux has always favored support for currently (and in the foreseeable future) relevant architectures over widest possible spread.

I don't quite understand the desire to run recent software on museums piece hardware, but for those who must, there's NetBSD.
This is true. There was a paper that shower Flint children’s lead level went up slightly during the “crisis” but were still less than half what they were a decade earlier.
OK, we've replaced the title above with how the author puts it in the first sentence, which is much clearer.
My M1 Mac mini says "Designed in California Made in Malaysia" on it.

It would be really interesting to know the actual number, wouldn't it?
Just a guess, use of the gcc backend for rust will face hard opposition by the same people pushing for rust in the kernel specifically if it is chosen (as it should be) by the kernel as the default choice.
One complication is that since the universe is homogenous and infinite, there’s a boundary that is expanding away from us faster than the speed of light and this gravity as well.
I wonder how many of these accidents have automatic lane assist or braking as a contributing cause.

In my opinion, these features are inherently unsafe (braking hard regardless of road conditions when someone cuts in ahead of you, for example). But also, it seems plausible that the restrictive feeling of driving a vehicle with these features may contribute to the same "breakout arousal" phenomenon the article associates with lockdowns and mandates.
> What you are both saying seems incompatible not just merely the title but also with the text of the article

I would not trust the text of the article. Pop science articles are often untrustworthy even on much simpler topics. Actual papers are much better sources.

> are objects really completely restored back to their former position in spacetime?

Of course not; that's impossible. Any talk about restoring objects to their original position can only mean position in space. (And since "position in space" depends on a particular choice of reference frame, one then needs to ask what reference frame.)

> the constituent subatomic particles would feel a stronger gravitational force and age more slowly than the particles at the troughs of oscillation?

The "rate of aging" does not depend on "gravitational force". In situations where such concepts as "gravitational force" and "gravitational potential" are even applicable (which will not include very strong gravitational waves in any case), the "rate of aging" depends on gravitational potential. (For example, in the vicinity of the Earth, one's altitude above the Earth affects "rate of aging".) However, one can still assess differential aging in more general situations, just not with the rule of thumb you gave.

> after the wave had passed, you'd be left with an object that has areas of divergent age?

This is possible, but, as noted above, it cannot be assessed with the rule of thumb you gave. You would have to know the details of the spacetime geometry of the gravitational wave (and you would have to be prepared for some pretty heavy duty numerical computations).
How would you distinguish between seismic events and someone walking by, running up and down stairs, or just bumping the table the phone is sitting on? seismometers are strategically located in places where humans won't accidentally affect their readings via normal daily activities.
Yep, I think there's just an inverse relationship between age and how large the change needs to be for you to give it a pass.
> Once you know what’s actually in the code the conspiracy theories do seem funny

Perhaps funny, but inevitable due to the lack of knowledge. Why don't you do us a solid and get us some documentation for our hardware using a cell camera?

> I buy unbuffered ECC DIMMs for my AMD systems and they're basically maybe 5-10% more than a non-ECC DIMM

Where? Are you talking DDR4-3200? These are 40-50% higher than non-ECC UDIMMs. It usually gets worse as capacity increases. Additionally, there are only one or two models of 1x32GB UDIMM in production. These sticks are quite rare. You don't just go to Newegg or Amazon unless you want to pay out the arse for them. And in addition to that, ECC has worse timings which are important for Ryzen.

> Registered DIMMs have a higher premium

You have this backwards. RDIMM are common and cheaper because that's what servers generally use. UDIMM ECC cost more because, well, they barely exist as a thing.

> People to this day laugh at Rasmus choosing the length of function names in PHP decades ago and go does, well, not the same, but let's just say a variant of it. Oh the irony.

This is a difference in kind, not degree.

PHP has wonky function names because Rasmus didn't know any better.

The Go token hash is a private implementation detail; they can change it and only the compiler internals are affected.
In general you want to get more money from people who have more money. Everyone does this, including nonprofits and governments. There are lots of ways to wrap it up in things like value, status, or features and benefits, but ultimately that’s the basic goal.

Call me a pessimist, but if the site caught onto some non-trivial traction it would be quickly overrun with unreasonably loud clips, people generally saying horrifying things without much recourse, and then slightly down the road TTS voices selling/promoting other sites. IMO for other anonymous text based sites it's easier to overlook some of these issues as well as it being easier to moderate the issues as they appear.

Looks like a nice implementation of the idea, the overall visual design is clean, and the preloaded content is nice, but I just don't trust the internet to not ruin a good thing.
1) This article is about Tim Cook negotiating deals to help the Chinese economy to avoid bad press that they aren't a team player over there, and so this has nothing to do with "complying with laws".

2) FWIW, to reply to that anyway: while this article is not about this, Apple does go far out of their way to make themselves a bottleneck that would be subject to these laws in the first place.

As a trivial example of this, Apple blocks VPNs from being installed on end user phones by not hosting them in their store and additionally requiring a special entitlement that requires a paid developer account (so you can't code your own VPN and install it yourself).

Now, you can claim this is them "complying with local laws" (though I bet if you actually looked they are going well above and beyond the call of duty here), but that is frankly a "shit take" as it fails to explain how every Android phone sold in China DOES allow you to install VPN apps: sure, Google doesn't host them for you, but they let you sideload anything you want (including a VPN).

The reality is that Apple has uniquely decided to build a completely-centrally-controlled ecosystem where they CAN block you from installing a VPN on "your" phone, while Google did the morally-reasonable decision that happens to avoid them becoming a tool of authoritarian regimes.
I've been fantasizing about visiting or even moving to NZ because of certain liberal policies they have implemented, but if they outlaw smoking or pass other nanny state laws, I will 100% avoid them in perpetuity. Smoking or not smoking is one of the simplest expressions of individual liberty, and it is tragic how many countries are jumping on the illiberal bandwagon to take away basic physical freedoms from their citizens.

C++ has a bunch of principles that Linus disagrees with. Actually some important C++ people aren't sold on them either, but too bad, they are principles of C++ and so you're stuck with them in C++.

Examples include exceptions as the one true error mechanism, and the use of implicit allocation.

Rust doesn't have the former, and Rust's core doesn't have the latter (but std does), one of the stipulations from Linus when this began was that Rust for Linux needed to ensure it didn't sneak in implicit allocation. Thus, while a beginner's Rust program might have text += "Some more stuff"; you won't see that in the kernel -- because it won't compile, the core::ops::AddAssign isn't implemented on these string types in the kernel because it's implicit allocation.

As to move, the move semantics in C++ are really awkward. They're a nice optimisation of course, which is why they're provided, but you would not deliberately do it that way in a language which had move semantics from the outset, as demonstrated by Rust. To make move work with existing C++ software it has to "hollow out" objects when they're moved from. Rust needn't do that, if you move a Foozle from var1 to var2 in C++, it must carefully hollow out the Foozle in var1, because in C++ var1 will eventually get destroyed, so its contents must be valid and safe to destroy. If you move the same Foozle from var1 to var2 in Rust, the Rust compiler knows you moved it, so, it's gone, var1 won't get destroyed and no further attention to it is needed.
