Basically the argument is those boosters should be used as 1st doses in poor counties, so we don't get another delta(India) Omicron(South Africa). The WHO was late to call it a pandemic, when it was clearly one. And realistically they need to start helping these poor countries build out their own medical capabilities to produce vaccines. The 20th century operation model doesn't work with 7 billion people.

Lol no, obesity is one of the biggest factors in covid mortality
> Sure, spamming people is annoying. But how is it unethical?

Spamming is unacceptable, unwanted, illegal and unethical for quite obvious reasons, namely

(1) negative effects do not justify benefits
(2) spammer gets benefits at cost of others
(3) it is annoying
(4) its is not needed.

Rare exceptions may apply, it is not one of them.
> Frankly, people make too big a deal about generics.

Different strokes for different folks, but I think generics are a huge deal. They make libraries so much more ergonomic and reduce toil generally. It's a case of dealing with many, many small papercuts over a long period of time rather than a big-bang sort of thing.

> tooling quality

I'm a huge proponent of tools, so much so that I worked on programming language tools for 5 years. My perspective is that tools are there to optimize an existing experience, but reach a local maxima in the overall experience because they're limited by language semantics. When you improve language semantics, tools get to improve experience again. That's why it's so important to do language design in a way that strongly considers the tooling experience, and a big reason why you see so much love for languages like TypeScript and C#. They work hand in hand. And generics are an example of how semantics can push tools to be better.
Although I still think services like Codeacademy and Exercism are really useful, what you've said describes my main gripe with them, which is that these services are seemingly designed for people who have already maneuvered their way into programming to some extent. Someone who wants to learn programming from scratch probably won't get much out of having a "hello world" exercise thrown at them followed by FizzBuzz. Not only does the value of such exercises not necessarily translate to someone who has yet to fool with computers themselves, but these systems overall fail to educate new programmers on the many things that matter besides language constructs for a particular language. In my opinion, these are tools designed by programmers for programmers. Not that there's anything wrong with that... but not once have I become proficient in a language by doing online code challenges in a REPL; I always learn by doing, as was recently the case for me delving into C++ via an Arduino project. The C++ skills I momentarily learned online didn't stick because FizzBuzz isn't really applicable to anything (obviously I'm kind of oversimplifying things here).

> I think a similar digital-vs-analog split happens in computers.

Does it? In computers, digital computation is the ideal that we try to mimic via analog circuits (or vacuum tubes, relays, or whatever). We are actually glad that we can chain two CMOS inverters and the result is that anything close to Vcc becomes Vcc, and anything close to GND becomes GND.

As far as I understand, in biology "improving signal quality" like that actually disturbs the system because you are removing an "error" that actually has a useful function somewhere else.

Or for a software analogy: Consider a program that breaks memory safety, but you can't fix it because some other part relies on that "bug". Now consider a program that doesn't just contain lots of weird quirks like that, but has grown around them and makes them an integral part.

At least that is how I imagine chemistry inside a cell as a layman.
It makes sense to criticize rich countries for not distributing more vaccines to poorer ones.

It makes no sense to claim that the crisis will be ‘prolonged’ unless you can define an endpoint.

I am not aware that the WHO has defined an endpoint to the ‘covid crisis’. If I’m wrong, please point me to their definition.

Therefore this is a valid criticism mixed in with irresponsible logic. Exactly the kind of political statement that undermines the legitimacy of the WHO.
> Taxes and charity are two completely different things.

I couldn't agree more with it. One is a compulsory extortion, another is a voluntary action.

> Not sure if you are insinuating that anyone who holds this political position but does not donate money towards the cause are somehow hypocrites?

I'd like to understand why certain people would rather prefer a compulsory extortion for everyone than a voluntary action for themselves and other like-minded people. Even at the level of the mentioned politics, public spending is not especially effective and efficient approach towards funding your causes [1].

I think there are huge quality of life and health improvements that come along with EV: the air pollution death numbers are likely understated, and I suspect there are carcinogenic and micropollution effects from ICE emissions that are being hidden by our addiction to gasoline and industry-sponsored denialism and suppression.

It also smells like a lot of the forced hydrogen hype, a FUD, delay/distraction, undermining of EV popular support, etc by the oil industry that once they get a crack they'll drive a truck through.

Hopefully EVs and solar/wind/battery continue their price curve improvements, to make all these distraction projects ludicrously economically infeasible.

It is a triumph, dare I say miracle, of modern technology and (sigh, I hate praising economics) economics that we now have a switchover path from dinosaur heroin to something that is EVEN CHEAPER.
To clarify, this was not a shared folder.
Yea definitely interesting to think about. A couple of discussion points:

* To your point (let me know if you disagree) I think that the MAD concept can be overcome and we'll see countries figure out strategis around it. What if you had World War III and... just nobody fired the nukes? New York City is bombed, Moscow is invaded, whatever and the countries just don't do the doomsday? What if we've taken MAD for granted and it turns out it's not even on the table?

* > Brilliant play since they know the US sentiment around preparedness to enter another conflict that isn’t theirs

Many wars and conflicts begin because of miscalculations. I think on Putin's part for Russia this could be one of those. I mentioned this in another thread but the U.S. just spent 20 years at war in Afghanistan and Iraq, people dying, IEDs, terrorists, all of that stuff and if you turned the TV off you'd have no idea these wars were going on. America spent 20 years doing this stuff in two countries and not a single American day-to-day really gave a crap. While it may be the case that America is not willing to fight in Eastern Europe, I think that this is one of those potential miscalculations and it's certainly an unknown variable. Hell, even if the American people were not being drafted the US military is certainly actively strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Russia or anyone so we could yet again have a military at war but not a people. Just some food for thought. Even with Biden (smartly IMO) actually getting us out of Afghanistan, the left and the right were crowing about it. Might be more willingness to fight then one might think and this could lead the U.S. to another direct conflict with Russia this decade. [1]

One of my senior projects in college was designing a ducted lift fan UAV. One of the things that was apparent from digging through the old research was the monstrous total complexity even of conceptually simple designs that had 1-2 ducted fans embedded in the body or wings. Computers make the complexities of controlling these things tractable, which was a much bigger problem in the 1960s. But even with relatively modern technology e.g. Lockheed has had a hell of a time with the F-35B.
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, teachers in Ontario (and most places, I imagine) do not specialize in a subject until high school or so. So most teachers needs to be able to teach every subject.

This is besides the point though, in my opinion. Any teacher being unable to do basic arithmetic is extremely alarming. It calls into question their entire credentials as a teacher. Anyone who graduated high school, let alone college should be able to do arithmetic.

This isn't a case of teacher in subject X has some knowledge gaps about subject Y. This is a case of a teacher missing basic adult competencies.

> Would it be enough to have an index consist of a list of found words, and the related "document ids"? i.e. "apple" is in doc ids 1000, 2000, 3000, "banana" is in doc ids 2000, 4000, etc.?

The problem, as with any search engine, is the ranking algorithm. Without a sufficent one, the search results are useless. What use is a list of every page in the Wayback Machine containing the word "apple"?

The Wayback Machine possibly would need a much larger index than any normal search engine: not only the present websites, but all the historical versions (though I don't know what proportion of the web they've indexed).
After reading your article I came to one conclusion: RUN, don't walk from Lilium. They are obviously tricking people who don't know a single thing about airplane engines.

Lilium responded to the aerokurier article on Monday with an email in which our experts were accused of having set the hover efficiency of the drives far too low with an efficiency of 20 percent. Lilium, on the other hand, claims that values "of 85-95% are the industry standard for turbo fan levels". According to Lilium, this mistake should have been noticed by any industry expert.

Lilium is right with regard to the efficiency of turbofan engines viewed in isolation, as they are standard today on all high and fast flying airliners. However: There are no turbo fans installed on the Lilium Jet. They are jacketed propellers driven by electric motors.
Question; So i'm also designing a "second brain" for myself/foss, and i've often had the debate of how much i should go with plaintext.

On one hand it is nice for basic tools like grep, custom editors, easy backup, etc. However "lockin" is something i keep pausing on.. because for any advanced features you include, say spaced repetition over items in the document, becomes a unique DSL for your application most likely. Yea, it could be made from "just markdown" or w/e, but the functionality still only works in that one app.

Eg i used some other Space Rep tool which advertised using just markdown, cool! But i can't port it anywhere, so yay it's plain text but the functionality still need to be refactored to work with other tools.

This problem becomes more apparent when you add more complex features. Each unique/novel feature creates unique DSL to store state in "plaintext", which to me starts feeling like it destroys the core premise of plaintext.

Thoughts on this issue?

I Bonds are paying over 7% right now. You are limited in the amount you can buy but could buy $10,000 now and $10,000 next year (i.e., in a couple weeks) plus another $5,000 if you are getting a tax refund.

Nothing about how it impacts their unwilling subjects. Nothing about failing to indicate they were doing an academic study. Nothing about the falsity of their legal threats.

"CEO Approval" on the page is not a statement, it is a yes/no question, with the empty circle designating No. (That's how I read it, anyway) It's especially confusing because the options just above and below it (Recommend, Business Outlook) use red X's to express disagreement, while this question does not, leaving the reader unsure if the commenter skipped this question or actively answered No.
The trigger was a confluence of events:

A) Personal, life changing, events forced a total re-examination of my psychology and beliefs

B) One of the smartest people I know making a book recommendation.

At this time, and moving forward, I began to really challenge myself as to my virtues and examine my emotions and thoughts for vices (anti-virtues if you will).

My initial reaction to the book recommendation was dubious, especially due to the parabolic price rises and volatility.

It was at this time I decided I need to work on being humble and curious, so I embarked upon the real start of my crypto "journey".

Contradictions are sometimes the key to understanding deeper concepts and connections that are not immediately clear or "logical". Also, the Synoptic Gospels were written first, and intended to be used to catechize new Christians and teach them the basics of the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospel According to John was intended to be used to teach newly baptized Christians what it means to be a Christian and what it means to have a mystical relationship with Christ. To say "they don't agree so they're all wrong" is a very simplistic and dismissive take. John probably had the Gospels of Matthew and Luke when he wrote his own account of the Gospel, so if there are contradictions MAYBE they're intentional and are intended to teach you something.

But if you are hung up on how much smarter you are than traditional people, you will never get over how apparently dumb they were for contradicting each other.

Considering their history with falsely-flagged videos on YouTube, I assume this to be "you can ask for a review but we're not gonna do anything about it lol".
I have this concern too. I wish to remain optimistic though.

i've enjoyed go for its simplicity. At times it requires more code (or code generation) but that generated code was easier to debug and have tooling operate on.

With generics, Some things will suffer. Complexity of code and tooling increases, tooling is probably going to suffer and become more costly. compile time and performance will probably also be affected.

Generics are likely only great for collections of things, ie []*T, where, you need to do the same thing on many of T.

I think my main issue is my only hypervisor right now is unraid, and I'm a bit hesitant to open ports on my firewall directly to a VM on unraid since it's also my personal NAS (I think there's security questions there, even if it is just a VM on it's own vlan? Not sure how possible VM escape is on unraid with this playbook).

I've not had any trouble moving it - in fact the folder system works perfectly. I can even point MD editing software like Obsidian at the network share I use for Dokuwiki and edit directly. Dokuwiki is clever enough to show when a file has been edited outside of the system, too.

Look and feel: agree, the default does it no favours (and I wish they'd update their website too, the 1990's look really runs behind the capabilities of the system) - but I've installed bootstrap and then modified to make it cleaner, which was again very easy, just some CSS.
