No. They often do, but not always. Other counter examples: Rabies. Spanish Flu.
Those (likely) aren't your odds.

Without knowing your specific background, your numbers are probably much less.

E.g. ages 0-17, there's been 644 deaths. Across a cohort with ~75,000,000 people.

Since zzzeek is an online identity, how much social prestige is he getting? Does he direct other people to posts that he wears a mask?

Maybe on Facebook where people often use their real name I could see that as a possible motive but here?

Why is it so hard to think that people who disagree with you about masks are wearing them because they want to be safe? I wonder if the divide and anger is because each side believes the other is taking action to make a point and nothing else.
> - He never heard anyone talk about dreams

I have vivid dreams. I don't usually remember them, but occasionally enough, and the images are as real as it gets.

> - He never had a teacher tell anyone to read in their heads

I can easily read in my read, but there's no internal imagery involved. I'm looking at something with my eyes and reading it to myself.

> - He never saw anyone draw or paint or sketch except directly in front of the object of their art

I can barely draw. When I do, I'm drawing on memory, but I don't "see" anything in any meaningful sense. If you ask me to draw a dog, I can wing it, but I couldn't draw a specific dog, even my own pet. I can sorta draw simple shapes like a specific cartoon dog (maybe Snoopy), but other people likely wouldn't recognize it as such. If I were to try to draw a picture of Snoopy standing next to Brian Griffin, you wouldn't be able to tell which was which, and neither would be that close to the real thing.

> - He never saw someone try to remember the numbers in a PIN or other code by following their mental image

When I remember numbers, it's never visual. I don't think about how I type a PIN or a phone number. I once memorized the first 100 digits of pi to see if I could. I could, but it took a few hours over a couple weeks, and I can only remember about 10 now. It doesn't involve visualization at all. I've always had a good memory for facts/figures/numbers/trivia, but none of it involves visual aids. If anything, I find visual memory tricks to be a layer of abstraction that makes it harder for me to remember the underlying information.

> - He never heard about someone having a photographic memory

You hear about this in popular culture and fictional media all the time, but I question how prevalent it really is. The only person I can recall who really demonstrated it is Stephen Wiltshire[1].

This reads like a case of 'all about me'-ism. It sounds like this person negotiated their salary, and then decided the company didn't value them _because_ the company agreed to raise it when asked. If your goal is to have people throw money at you which you don't ask for, you are going to have a tough time working. A company that's willing to double your salary when you point out the offer is low sounds pretty great to me.

It then sounds like some other timelines were shifted, but rather than engaging with the company to learn what was going on, they silently invented more 'disrespect'.

Building a product is hard. It's also expensive. Many many companies go out of business trying. The company being somewhat reasonable with money, and moving other deadlines around to accomplish their goals, is not evil in and of itself. It sounds like OP needs to learn how to engage constructively, communicate their concerns and questions, and empathize with the people they're working with a bit.
To a degree I am in this same headspace. Vaccinated and boosted, I wear a mask (when and where required in places I want to patronize).

However everything I have done or do has been because it’s been my personal choice to do so based on my understanding of the risk I have from this virus. It’s entirely a selfish motivation.

However, I am not willing to criticize the decisions others have made that are different than mine, and am disgusted at the behavior of zealots who do so.

We are not arguing about long established scientific norms. This is a novel virus AND a novel vaccine. Skepticism should be expected.
I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated (most anti-vaxxers are irrational), but coercive mandates aren't justified.

Most companies that I see operating private clouds are using Kubernetes. It's much more flexible than OpenStack. It also has the advantage that apps are more or less portable across private/public cloud infrastructure.
> She and I agree that everything past a senior engineer is political

At the big tech company I work at, we're often told that even even senior is primarily a non-technical designation. Technical expertise and independence is expected of the level below senior, and in order to make the jump to senior you need to demonstrate leadership and other for skills - influencing others, project management, coordinating between teams, etc. Principal is a level above that that is kind of the same but more.

All this to say: every company is different.
But you didn't say that you wanted an experience, you said that you wanted "people with shared interests anymore who are actually willing to deal with other people as something other than a potential customer, victim, or at best a single-serving friend for the duration of exactly one interaction."

The communities are there - just because the current platform sucks (which I agree, Discord is privacy-invasive, controlling, and dog-slow) doesn't mean that the communities have vanished. And, if there's already people, you can make connections that move to other platforms.
Boiling frogs, man.

Google Glass was just too sudden a change. Another decade of eroding our collective sense of privacy and boundaries means it might be more successful now than it was back when we still had some expectation of personal privacy.

We already know that a warmer planet means rising sea levels, and as a species that tends to congregate near the sea... this is definitely a problem. If mitigating CO2 emissions buys us any amount of time, it's worth it.
The article makes absolutely no sense. They are comparing answers to completely different survey questions which aren't mutually exclusive to make it appear sentiment has changed.

> Large orgs should already have sufficient documentation as to which packages and versions are in use and what systems pulled them from their proxy repo.

Key word there: "should".

Let's say you have all your 50,000 applications well-documented. You think those docs are all going to be searchable in one place? That's an information disclosure vulnerability! No, all 50,000 applications documentation will be silo'd and only accessible to a select few people who work on them (you hope).

So now something like the log4j vulnerability crops up: You need to find out which systems are using log4j and what version. Best you can do is ask around... Demand that every application team cough up the details ASAP.

Now let's say you get data (emails) back suggesting that 5,000 applications are using log4j for certain, 1,000 may be using it (they're Java based apps), and you've confirmed that 14,000 most certainly are not using it. That leaves 30,000 applications where you have no idea if they're vulnerable.

You get data from the Artifactory ("proxy repo") team and they tell you, "we have 150,000 servers that have pulled down log4j (various versions)." Well, that's not particularly helpful so you get the raw data and try to correlate servers to applications only to find that's not helpful either: Because multiple "applications" could be using the same server and just because a log4j version was pulled doesn't mean it's actually being used by anything (in production).

After a few days of investigating the issue you find out that some thousands of applications actually are using log4j but it was included as part of a dependency. You tell them to update it.

Then you find out that 10,000 applications at present have no active development teams which explains why you got no response. Then there's an ungodly number of applications where no one has access to the source code anymore, 3rd party applications, etc.

So even if you have a central proxy repo and excellent documentation on all your stuff that doesn't mean it's going to be easy to hunt down and patch everything (that needs to be patched).

>Add to that the general lack of education around cyber security, hardly any mainstream CS course teaches cyber security as a mandatory course

Paradoxically, when someone has a pure (or at least focused) cybersec program (a few 3-4 year programs are taught by reputable institutions near me), and a Sec+ or equivalent, all of the old guard shout about needing years of experience (decades preferably) before you should be allowed to even think about security.

It only takes a few days in r/cybersecurity or r/securitycareeradvice to see these people in action, yelling at kids coming out of a 4-year university course focused on cybersec to "put in their dues" and work a call-center/help-desk for a few years resetting people's passwords before being allowed the honor of applying to an "entry-level" security position.

If a 4 year program cannot prepare you for an entry-level position, either the program is broken or the hiring expectations are broken.

Just in this thread someone was saying they would require 10 years of system administration AND 5 years of security experience before considering to hire them. In the same amount of time you can become a doctor or lawyer, and be operating on people or have established your own law firm.

Every single press title the last two years can be related somehow to a single Game. New variants, new mutations, spreading faster vs killing more people, ... All these tradeoffs are quite well modeled.

A lot of NIMBY behavior is about financial interests, but there are a lot more motivations too: basic conservatism, fear of change, fear of different types of people, and the incredible human bias against the unknown.

Optimism on the part of news outlets can be dangerous here. It may cause people to prematurely relax their precautions, and if it turns out to be wrong it will further erode trust in media outlets that jumped the gun. Considering the study was comparing Omicron to the initial wave of 2020 infections (a strange choice) I am not confident in the results. If it turns out to be correct, it will be more of an accident than accurate analysis.

As for the doctor that discovered it: Here experience with infected individuals is anecdotal data. She has not, to my knowledge, been involved in systematic studies. She is a general practitioner so here experience with this has been on the ground, primarily with the patients she has seen. Certainly this is useful but it is not a replacement for well-formed studies. Medical research and epidemiology are distinctly different activities from medical practice, even if many people involved in both have a medical degree.

A socialized process where the government decided that it would literally free for everybody even if they didn't have health insurance led to more equal medical outcomes than is the norm in our system. You are right. Now imagine if we used taxes to fund equivalent systems for other forms of healthcare.

I would think that the personal expenses and time costs required for in office work have a greater effect. Transportation to and from the office, Clothing and hygiene requirements, Food costs and quasi imposed social expenses like lottery pools, birthday and retirement gifts, secret santa etc.

It’s true tapes are okay when time is not of the essence, but there’s currently a lot of pain dealing with tapes when it comes to loading reading writing and verifying everything. You need some way to make sure the data on the tape matches the original after writing. Then you need some way to verify the copy you get back from the tape matches. You need to have multiple copies because sometimes whole tapes go bad. You also have a limited number of times you can try to read or write the tape without too much wear so you have to have a plan for how to read or write those things efficiently. This is stuff that can be mostly automated but it’s surprising to me that mostly this is done manually and the tools that do exist are often bespoke in one way or another. A nice thing about a hard drive is that most of that logic is baked into the firmware of the drive so you are less dependent on having a good system for verification and record keeping (though you still need it). Tapes can currently take minutes to load and hours to read or write if you need to copy the whole thing. I’m sure if someone was going to make those dice of drives they’d figure out the economics and logistics but it would be a monumental effort both technically and physically to make it work well.

Many changes to Google Workspace take up to 24 hours, as well. It always blows me away when I make a tiny change and get that message.
I totally agree! I think their technical differences are superseded by other practical considerations at this point. It's interesting to see how the landscape for which is better given a use case is changing though - PyTorch has made a lot of effort to grab more of the industry sector with TorchServe and PyTorch Live.

Do you think PyTorch can catch up here? I think Google's Coral devices give them a lock on embedded devices in the coming years
Not saying this to disagree with you, but there are companies manufacturing new cartridge copies of old NES/SNES (probably GB but I never checked) games for a fraction of some of the more expensive games. A friend of a friend of mine got a copy of Chrono Trigger for SNES from aliexpress. There are a few "tells" to know it's a copy (one of which is that it looks too new!), but it plays perfectly in his SNES. Your point still stands, but I just thought this was interesting that this market exists.
In theory this would also work with a Everdrive?
FWIW, 2021 has been probably the best year ever to change the company in IT:

- Remote work is now standard, you don't have to relocate

- US companies and well-funded startups opening up outside of US and hiring remote devs (though this is not always officially advertised, but for senior-enough people it's almost always negotiable)

- Tons of reports of people getting 30/50/100% raises (by changing jobs, or counter-offers)

Yeah something that small is going to be fine. But the ISS will not be. It's 440 metric tons, generating 4.4 MN of force on a cable. That's not going to spin.

And you're sending something to Mars here. In the ideal case we'll be sending six worth of supplies at the same time per person per ship. The amount of people permitted by NASA's guidelines on long-term habitation on a ship based purely on volume range from 1 for smaller ships to 30 for something the size of Starship. Hauling everything they need is not going to be below 50 metric tonnes by any means. We can probably spin as much as we like here, near the Earth, but anything further away is going to have ropes the breaking strength of which is again measured in meganewtons and the width of which is going to be around half a meter. Making that out of steel for the kind of cable you'd need for comfortable spinning (~1 rpm, 1.6 km of cable) is not going to space any time soon.

At the very least 6 months of food is required for the crew module, or some complex procedure of periodic de-spin & rendezvous with a cargo vessel. The kinds of missions NASA has been planning are 30 months in overall length if everything goes well, though 24 of that is not required to be accessible during transit. Spinning again in ĺow martian orbit is going to be quite feasible, once you jettison all of your life support and such and instead do very frequent cargo stops.

Quick digression--

Was Baudrillard's point essentially that capitalism is always the "main" function (hee hee) in the outer scope with everything else becoming subroutines/subprocesses/etc. of it? E.g., "Revolutionary" here is merely a local variable to a function do_capitalism_more_efficiently, rather than itself being a global variable in its own right.

I mean, I get that Baudrillard was essentially focusing on certain edge cases: e.g., where function challenge_capitalism was in fact running in a VM that was spun up by function do_capitalism_more_efficiently. But with that caveat, is there anything important I'm missing from his writing with my analogies to scope here?
There are two problems that reasonably explain the decision of only accepting public domain info: licensing and provenance.

"Licensing" is hard. The "Open Specifications Promise" [1], which covers a bunch of Microsoft-designed file formats, is merely a covenant not to sue.

"Provenance" is tricky. For example, much of the knowledge of the Apple iWork formats were derived by reverse-engineering the source programs and extracting protobuf definitions. Many open source projects have freely copied from each other, making detailed analysis tricky [2].

I don't really think it's that the niche stuff has moved away from the web - it's that nearly every functional discovery mechanism (that my now 30ish year old self knows about) has been captured by advertising or killed.

When all you ever get served up is links to the same drivel promoted by folks who have no honest interest or curiosity, but are essentially mercenary marketing/sales (sorry - influencers blegh...), then the web starts to feel like a bland wasteland.

Some of this is entirely related to being older - but I do genuinely think the current tech powerhouses on the web are trying their damn hardest to kill off any & all organic discovery mechanisms they can. Often through completely disingenuous means. If that fails, they buy them and shutter them, or roll them into the brand where it becomes the same drivel again.
