Time flies when you're having fun! It's also why we always hear "It just came out of nowhere! It all happened so fast!" when referring to automobile accidents. It's because our attention was not where it should have been.
Microsoft Teams and some Atlassian products also fail when third-party cookies are disabled.

Yes, it should be. You pay extra in your fees to cover the possible loss of the entity giving you a loan, but they want the extra and not having to deal with the possible loss. They should just suck it up TBH.
But the example being replied to was going from 10 million years to 1 month, that’s γ = 1.2e8, so β ≈ 1 - (3.4e-17), so blueshift factor ≈ 2.4e8.

I think that means the wavelength goes from 2.7 K ≈ 1.07mm to 4.46pm. Is a blackbody spectrum still a blackbody under Lorentz transform? If so, 650 million K?
> “Meaning” ends up being empty too.

Not really. Meaning can change in scope at a moment's notice. We are the only creatures on earth that I can think of with the "divine power" to add or remove "meaning". We should exercise this power as best as we can.

> In truth there is no lasting meaning. Eventually the Earth and the solar system will end, followed by the galaxy, followed by every star.

One could argue that enriching the human race with books, speeches, youtube videos, cooking or code for 1.5k years is "enough". You said "contentedness" is key, so there you go. Or one could hope that our species alongside a world-wide library on a usb-stick could embark on a trip go a galaxy far-far away a-la "Space Cowboy" or "Foundation".
Then I'm puzzled why it wouldn't be easier to, say, just embed Chez in addition to LuaJIT.

Your example does not seem to be an extravegantly wasteful activity though. Perhaps you missed my point?

Bitcoin is around 1,000 pounds of CO2 per transaction. That's about a 1,000 mile journey for an average US car, or nearer 2,000 in Europe. For a single operation on a currency?

Is this cool with you?

After the can gets accepted by the machine it gets crushed and sold in bulk to a 3rd party. That 3rd party is buying and selling by weigh and is usually the one who's usually getting the government check. So all barcodes do is reduce casual fraud. The pros are already injecting it higher up the supply chain.
I agree, though I think that ideally companies are advocates for their customers. For example, companies have to turn information over to courts, but they can push back on some, and publish transparency reports for others. Yes, they have to comply with the law, but imo a company has an obligation to advocate for their customers.
I agree, and this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I have so much random web development knowledge crammed in my head I’m more than happy to offload the rest to devdocs.io and StackOverflow. Although it does mean that I frequently forget which of my projects contains the solution to that one bizarre problem I just ran into again, so whenever I solve one of those I try to leave myself an easily grepable comment.

My off white "back / home / app switch" bar remains so it's not even close to being all black. (chrome on android. Works on ff.)

> Save energy

Only on one type of oled? It's more energy intensive than white on the majority of screen types.

> Stealth mode / Meditation / Better than standby mode

This might blow your mind but... phones can be placed face down. Or hit the standby switch. Or put it in your pocket. All way easier than going to your browser, finding it in bookmarks, and selecting black.

Monitors have an off switch you can just reach over to, that is also way easier.

Additionally, both of these methods _actually_ save energy.

The reasoning is super flawed but I'm glad you probably had fun writing it. That's all that matters.

I want to build one of these for my Amigas, do you have a link to a schematic? Thx.
Your claim is directly contradicted by the abstract of the paper you linked to:

"We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test."

1 shot of mRNA vaccine = 6 per 1 million = 0.0006%

2 shot of mRNA vaccine = 10 per 1 million = 0.001%

COVID infection = 40 per 1 million = 0.004%

COVID infection has a 4 times higher chance of myocarditis than the vaccine. It also has significantly higher risks of many other things, some of which are also touched on in the abstract.
Lockdowns give you a linear factor to flatten the rise of new cases that is relevant even for an exponential curve.

Some said that vaccination proved a 70% protection to infect someone. Makes sense since the time someone can infect others is shortened because of the quicker immune response. I still believe this to be a noble lie however, since we should have seen an effect, but the curves rose just as quickly in vaccinated/unvaccinated countries and as fast as in the first wave.
A double shot of moderna more than halved myocarditis vs getting covid according to your link?

>> We estimated an extra … six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with … mRNA-1273 … in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273

>> This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.
Did I misread or does this study say the opposite of what you said?

> We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.

So an increased risk of 16 per million after the vaccine + booster, and an increased risk of 40 per million after an infection.
(probably wrong statement follows) In the US, title to the vehicle usually remains in the hands of the creditor until it’s paid off.

Saying people get reinfected multiple times within 33 days.
In the US this is legal. Banks are authorized to repossess property if you’re late on a payment^. Private companies are allowed to participate in repossession as long as they don’t break any other laws. Tesla didn’t break into the owner’s house to steal their passwords or keys, they didn’t assault the owner. All they did was take his car. They verified that they were taking the correct car. Since the repossession was being carried out on behalf of a bank, there was no theft. This is completely legal. If you don’t want a car company to assist a bank with repossession, don’t get a car with remote access features- which pretty much means an old car.

^There are rules on how late you have to be though- it’s not like they are taking your car after you’re 1 day late for the first time. The required amount of lateness depends on the state. And they are only allowed to take property that was used to secure the loan. In the case of a car loan that is usually the car itself.

For me neither. As much as I admire Musk for being the driving force behind the progress that his companies are making for electric mobility and especially space launch but a guy who fetishizes a dystopian cyberpunk future and works on hooking up brains to computers might have slightly different vision for the future than you and me.
This is my problem with it.

Not that payments shouldn't be kept up to date. But that it moves decision making on the issue to a corporate entity a million miles away and you can bet there won't be any accounting for personal situations, or admin errors, or anything else. Your car will just be gone.

Pop _OS Linux 21.10: My Review
This study isn’t based on VAERS data, it’s from the UK.

The design tracks their medical record system, under reporting shouldn’t be a big concern

Edit:

> We assessed the temporal association between COVID-19 vaccination and cardiac adverse events using hospital admissions with diagnoses of myocarditis or pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Maybe there is differential reporting based on who shows up at the hospital with Covid vs just vaccine induced side effects, but it’s sort of hard to design a large scale study to pin this down. The methodology seems sound enough to fairly track at least those ill enough to go to the hospital

Software isn't going to know the actual candela output from random screens, or individual devices.

You'd have to standardise the hardware or have a v good db of models and light etc.
>>Or would you rather that they stopped the development of vaccines completely and focused just on the treatment of symptoms?

No, but surely it would be easier to produce an antiviral for home use that would alleviate the symptoms of Covid-19, rather than relying on the development of a vaccine, and then demanding almost universal uptake for it to work?

Then we could have had vaccines for the sick, elderly, immunocompromised and whoever else wanted them after a while, and treatment of symptoms for everyone else.

We knew, pretty much from the beginning, that Covid was here to stay. I would like to know what the path out of this pandemic is now, now that we still aren't discussing treatment and are talking about additional boosters.
Statues were about, and have always been about, celebrating individuals, groups, and values. That's how they functioned in the greco-roman world. That's how they function today. In this context, it totally makes sense to remove statues that don't reflect current values. That's why people toppled statues of Stalin, or Saddam Hussein.

This whole talking point about 'history erasure' is just really strange, because monuments have never been about history. That's why you can have a statue of liberty, a fourth plinth, the kryptos, etc.

Nope, it won't. Ask anyone who ever lent money and they'll tell you that lending is actually the easiest part, now getting repaid is where most of the work goes into. Heck, you probably yourself can remember an acquaintance of yours who once borrowed figurative $20 from you and never returned them.

I too think these consent solutions are problematic, but the law as it is use here is a catastrophic overreach, if applied broadly.

If you take the article at face value, it is illegal to create any kind of TCP/IP connection with a server that is operated by a company which does not operate exclusively in the EU.

This is a strong interpretation, but it‘s really not far off from what the court did here: they declared it illegal that an IP Adress (!) was transmitted (not stored?) to a company that could potentially (?) be subject to non EU subpoenas.

If NOYB managed to make the entire internet illegal just so they have a sharp axe to go after the things they don‘t like (Google Analytics, cookie "consent" banners), congratulations. They have built a slope so slippery it should have an ICU at the bottom.

See figure 2. Double shot of Moderna has higher chance of myocarditis than covid does. They do add this to the conclusions of the paper, but they defocus it by talking about the populations as one large unbroken dataset.

When looking at people under 40, the risks for myocarditis are higher amongst Moderna double shot patients than for covid infections.

You could add that as a bookmark. You can replace 'black' with whatever color you want.
Averages are misleading. All the risk is concentrated in the group under 40, where it is higher for the vaccine.

I mean, you could easily make the opposing argument and say that in 2167, people would remove statues of <prominent animal rights fighters> because while they were fighting for animal rights, humans were still suffering. And you could even do the same with people in 2167 removing the statue of <people too busy arguing about the best course of action instead of actually taking action, anything>.

I would definitely recommend skydiving over paragliding and kitesurfing over skydiving. Paragliding is MUCH harder than skydiving (you need to feel/understand the wind really well).

Talking about the tandem jump - I don't know how it's in Germany but in Poland basic AFF training + one jump with 2 instructors cost the same price as the tandem jump thus making it a really foolish choice.

200 jumps requirement is shared across most of the world and to be honest it's not really that much. Skydiving in the details is really hard - you need to control and feel you body perfectly and also know how to move and behave in the air. You could probably try jumping in Ukraine - it's cheap like a bread and dangerous like a hell. I did my first jump in Ukraine and it cost me around 35$ (basic training was in ukrainian which I don't speak at all)
Ok I hear that; but it sounds like you're enthusiastically reacting to a position I don't hold.

Who, exactly, is overselling the wasm sandbox model? What startups are claiming wasm is a silver bullet that will solve all their problems? And I believe they're out there - but just because some wasm proponents are idiots doesn't make webassembly itself without value or without merit.

There's young idealistic "true believers" who latch on to any new technology trend. I've never been smart or lucky enough to stop them. People seem to make bad cults on top of all sorts of dubious technology ideas. And I've met plenty - nodejs devs who wanted to rewrite linux in javascript. React devs who thought functional programming was invented by react, and were convinced it was going to change the world. And oh, blockchain people. So many blockchain people.

> Instead, EU websites will now be forced to buy their cookie management from EU providers who adhere to EU privacy laws.

This is simply false. Cookiebot is an EU provider. They're a danish company.

I admit that the statements could have been sharper but I don’t directly relate losing eyesight to long covid.

I’m just trying to say that there are other effects than death which seem more likely and impactful for longer for youthful people as they are more likely to get one of the other effects than they are likely to die from COVID.

In this case my eye care provider has seen more cases where patients lost eye sight after covid. Typically this amount of loss of eyesight is not observed over a single period of three weeks.
> This law specifically mentions that I need to be nagged for every single new domain I visit (dozens per day)

No it does not.

The company behind the website decided that nagging you is worth it to get your data. They have the very simple option to not track you and provide a better user experience, save you data, save you battery power, save you time and respect you. They don't.

Sidenote: I did laugh at "dozens", I'd urge you to keep count for a day or two. If true you are a strong outlier.
Honestly as long they react to concerns of other businesses who may genuinely need cookies for sessions etc, I admire that the EU is trying to get some experience on tech regulation. Catch is they must be willing to adapt and listen to feedback.

I think the surprise or even incredulity people over here in the EU have is not to do with "You don't pay for your stuff, we take the stuff back" (I think we're all familiar with the concept of paying for things), it's to do with how the seller remotely took actions on the item.

It's a bit like not keeping up your mortgage repayments, and the bank remotely locking you out (or in?) your house — except it's a bit worse, because the mortgage provider wouldn't have to use GPS to track where you and your house are. Perhaps that's not a shocking idea in the USA, but I think it is in the EU. I'm not for or against, just explaining where the shock factor is coming from here.

Now for my own opinion: The header here shouldn't be "Make sure you keep up your repayments", it should be "Don't buy stupid shit you don't need, can't afford, and is controlled by someone else".
