no viral infection happens in a vaccuum. Each year's seasonal and nonseasonal flu comes on the backs of years of "less people" for it to kill, and people who have gained immune responses to any of its closest relatives, and people who have been immunized, and even humans who have been culled by similar viruses milennia ago during migratory bottlenecks.
Cloud is not really such a problematic factor:

Tesla power wall (I'd argue overpriced...): $10k [1]

Cost of an average nuclear plant today: $20bn [2] (+operating costs)

So you could buy and install 2Mio powerwalls for thr price of one nuclear plant. How many powerwalls (or more cost-effective solutions) would you need to balance the demand vs availability of electricity at night?

A good compromise might be to require explanations or shadow bans to be revealed say, 30 days after the action, in the case of bans because of suspected crimes. In the case of CP or terrorism this gives reasonable time for the Feds to find and arrest you and your conspirators. This is how the Patriot Act worked with publishing warrants, for better or worse.

It's marked separately, so this doesn't happen: https://mathproficiencytest.ca/#/en/applicant/learn/results:...

"Applicants are required to obtain a 70% or greater on each of the components of the test, in the same attempt, to be successful on the MPT."

Not that I think that's particularly relevant to the lawsuit. If the component is discriminatory, it seems like it's discriminatory whether it serves as a filter on it's own, or it acts as a way to "boost your marks" for the other filter. Same if it's not discriminatory.
I like trains too (and short-haul aircraft frighten me), but it's much easier to find an unobstructed path for a small aircraft than a high-speed train. There's also more latitude for experimentation with these piecemeal private sector experiments. I would expect a high-speed rail line between San Jose and San Francisco, for example, to cost far more than Lilium's current market cap. I'm not even sure where you'd put the track, without killing an existing train line.
I hope omicron is a gateway to the virus becoming less and deadly until it's essentially like the common cold.

But it seems unwise to be certain that will be what happens. Worst case scenario is omicron running wild mutates into something much more lethal and a bit more contagious.

With a variety of uncertainties imaginable, it's understandable that authorities are currently taking omicron as a serious threat even if it seem like there's a significant chance it will be a "good thing" as you say.

> Now with an NFT you're not technically selling a picture and I'm still not entirely sure why someone buying an NFT of an open source picture makes any sense at all but it is kind of inherent to what's being sold, because I don't think anyone would pay the same for some random bits of information.

It makes sense as some people right now are willing to pay for it, thinking they will eventually make a profit with that sort of "investment". It could go both ways. Those selling NFT might be successful at creating a sense of value (through big influencers, marketing...) or eventually fail only time will tell. Remember ICO? Which one wasn't a scam again?

NFT itself is an "art performance", since it make us question the notion of "value". What is value? Why this or that item, physical or digital is valuable? Resources are certainly finite as well as knowledgeable and skilled people, but value is often completely disconnected from any fundamentals in crypto.

It's crazy though how most western government are completely hands off when it comes to crypto regulation. Especially in Europe. In USA you see the SEC cracking down on a few crypto scams and suing ICO issuers.

The gas plants are actually quite cheap. It's the gas that's expensive.

> Its also worth nothing that the rising power prices have largely prevented germany from moving away from using gas to for stoves and heating

That statement makes no sense to me. Rising power prices are definitely connected to rising gas prices, which don't prevent people from moving away from using gas for stoves and heating but rather motivate them to do just that.
We're migrating to server-side Blazor because of the good experience yet all of the things mentioned in this article are a concern for using this technology.

A single repository for a project, but not for the whole company.

For example there is no need to have separate repositories for the front-end, the backend, the deployment, and a small microservices.

It seems like the CTA is attempting to make policy, without obviously violating laws. Areas without clear policies either require clarification by the elected officials, or should be left to individuals in the field. Unions and corporate lobby groups have no place in making policy.

Hi. I have a question for you. Do you have an email address or a method of contact?
One of the questions asked early on with COVID19 was how we managed to end the Spanish Flu 100 years ago without vaccines. When I saw this question posted it was typically met with shrugs and "not sure".

I think Omicron offers a possible explanation. An even more infectious variant with lower mortality should out-compete the deadly variant over time. After a few mutations like that it should be no worse than the seasonal flu--which has its own death toll each year, remember.

Hi David. Do you have an email address or a method of contact?
No you are right of course. I was imagining that a full text Wayback Machine search engine would mostly be useful to look for words unique enough that sifting through a lot of results (even if those were not ranked "well") could still be useful..?

I was very naively "back of the envelope" prototyping a search engine. I both realize that this is not the way that these things are built, and both would really like to have that (or any) search engine to look through the archive..! :-)

As for the index, I agree -- I was trying to guesstimate its size by going from the ~~20PB total Wayback Machine size (which includes all historical versions). Is it 1% of 20PB (for the size of the text content), and then another ~10% of that for the index size? So 20TB...?
They are going to make decisions based on incomplete information when people's lives are at stake, decisions where deciding wrong can have material consequences to lives and livelihoods, because choosing not to act is itself a decision.

I do think that the decision that was made to keep pushing boosters and basically do nothing else is probably the correct one, but not because it was the default thing to do and we have to wait until there's incontrovertible evidence that the default action will lead to ruin before doing anything else.
Also worth mentioning that prior to the Civil War the South was very much opposed to states rights because that would have allowed northern states to block the capture and return of runaway slaves.

For what it's worth, I have observed zero hysteria. Took a flight last week out of California. Airport was packed. Plane was packed. No one was really distancing. People wore masks, but were pretty chill about it. Most masks looked to cloth or surgical, rather than tight-fitting (K)N95. People took masks off to eat. An old guy kept pulling his down each time he talked to his friend. Some kids ran around without masks and the parents didn't care. No one was hysterical. No one was shaming people without masks. And this is in a world with a million Americans dead and a new highly contagious variant spreading around the world.

Hi Tyler. Is there a reason why PullRequest Reviewers from Canada are also included as an allowed country? Because that country has good rule of law?
I'm not quite sure how to interpret this objection. If the objection is to surveillance of the students, I don't see how it would be any better to inform parents about participation in LGBTQ clubs, given how parents would be able to violate the privacy of their children far beyond merely providing them access to a club, and some would be motivated to if they knew their children identified as LGBTQ. If the objection is that parents _should_ be able to monitor their children in this way, I'd have to disagree; having sympathetic adults be the ones who find out seems better in virtually every way. And if the objection is that nobody should be monitoring the kids at all, I think you're either underestimating how little control minors have on their lives in general, and focusing on LGBTQ students getting help is probably not the most effective way to argue for a much larger structural change in society.
That's a common view on Crypto Twitter, lots of celebration of essentially socially stunted behavior by people with limited avenues for progression in the non-crypto world.

Hi Dan. Is there a reason why PullRequest Reviewers from Canada are also included as an allowed country? Because that country has good rule of law?
Sure but carbon is carbon. If they are able to get that much more of their overall power output from renewable, that's carbon not going into the air.

The problem with the current generation of nuclear is that it's expensive to build, and a lot of the older reactors are, well, old. If it's possible to get the same emissions reduction by building out lots and lots of renewable, instead of spending that money on nuclear, that's understandable for a country that can't just print money.

There will eventually be some limit to that strategy (i.e. how do you meet supply at night) and we'll have to see how the next-gen energy storage and nuclear pan out.

> which is useful on the battlefield to keep people alive to get to proper medical care

This is a battlefield. It's an emergency, remember? Do whatever it takes. We forced people to sacrifice their short-ass lives in lockdown so these people could figure it out. Where is the results? 2 years and these "experts" still want us to continue locking down to protect a healthcare system they had 2 years to build up specifically to manage covid.

It's as if every one of our lives is worthless in the eyes of people making excuses. No. We paid with our time--something we'll never get back. It is a complete travesty that governments continue to blame the public for their own inability to figure shit out.

Being dependent on imported gas seems like an inherent issue of the German energy system.
The point is that

1) exponential growth has consistently ceased before the hospitals overflowed too bad

2) exponential growth confuses readers into thinking that a small boost in spread rate means many more will be infected. This isn’t true because the exponential phase is brief and is a progression towards a ceiling defined by the graph, not an arbitrary period of time. Like what we are seeing in South Africa right now.

The big problem is that people think an increase in the spreading rate will cause an exponentially higher number of infected. But it won’t. The model is not appropriate.
In simplified terms, most EU countries have either ample sun (Mediterranean area), wind and ocean (north, west ) or wind and space (Poland & neighbors). Most also have a coast, mountains or both so some hydro potential. Even Luxembourg managed to find thermal power for heating.

With wind turbines improving steadily and available in different sizes there is also no big barrier to having them interspersed. Germany or the Netherlands are in large parts densely populated but still manage to put up wind turbines everywhere.

I'm mostly reminding them for when they post on Reddit, where I occasionally get accused for taking a Realpolitik stance of China issues. Even here, someone mentioned the pervasiveness of the "50 cent meme" as evidence of China's state sponsored propaganda.

>Even so, using "is this propaganda a distraction or direct engagement" as a heuristic for "is this post propaganda" is also not a great thing to do.

I agree it's not a perfect heuristic, but I don't think it matters in practice. A spammer is a spammer regardless of whether they're working for the CCP, and should be treated as such. There's no need to make a spicier accusation that you have no evidence for.

If you think about it, you can't really generate pairings in parallel because each thread would need write access to the entire pool to ensure no one is paired twice and that you have a consistent view of all the results to that point before creating a new pair. You could maybe create a lock for each participant but that might actually be slower, and would definitely be more difficult to reason about and can lead towards bugs just as serious under load.
one thing that isn't communicated very much is ICU capacity goes up and down with need. "ICU at 98%" means it's 98% at that point in time, ICU capacity can be added as needed up to a point. In the other direction a hospital can be at 50% ICU capacity, decide they can dial back ICU beds and then percent util jumps even though they may have fewer ICU patients. Hospitals likely have a target ICU utilization and add/remove beds to hit that target as much as possible.
Ocaml not unbearably slow when say running 10 simple tests. Ocaml is actually amazingly fast and a pleasure to work with.

Sbt is actually worse than dune+opam .

Ocaml has type inference globally so you are not required to spray type annotations at everything.

But Scala does have type directed lookup (type classes/ implicits).

Both have the curse of implementation/typing choices that stops you from doing the actual job ;)
This doesn't answer the question, it's literally begging the question by assuming there aren't such similarities.

Windows 7 to Monterey: https://static.kinguin.net/cdn-cgi/image/w=1140,q=80,f=auto/...

The bottom bar is way larger on Windows than on Monterey. There is nothing like the empty top bar on a Monterey as on the control panel window here. Point to mac here.

If you click on "About this mac" you get the same kind of logo that you get in this Windows photo, so they are about equal there.

There's no obnoxious widgets on Mac, at least by default. I don't remember if they were default on 7 (I think they were on Vista, but that's a different animal). I guess half a point to mac?
The problem is that little by little these freedoms are being chipped away so it requires constant fighting and pushing back in an extreme fashion to hopefully slow it down.

For example: You want to protest Israel? Great but now in 35 states you cannot accept any government jobs.

[1]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws#Anti-BDS_laws_in...

Another example: NSA is slurping up every last detail of Americans complete being. That we know thanks to snowden. If we keep going down this slope, what is to prevent them from using this data on you? Already we saw examples of them targeting Trump cabinet officials. If a real hard left candidate makes it anywhere close to the white house, you can be sure any skeletons will come out thanks to this data trove.

And finally an example closer to protesting: How is a country not creeping closer to fascism if they are literally kidnapping protesters and putting them in unmarked vans?

[2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XomXxmJTrLI

So yeah I guess you can say that America is a lot more polite about oppressing people. They don't typically pull their citizens into a back alley and shoot them. These days that is less effective than their current strategy. They accomplish the oppression in smarter more tangible ways through the ease of passing restrictive laws in addition to making trouble and asking forgiveness later(this is what happened with the unmarked van story although I don't know how the investigation turned out).

> You quoted "I would argue that linux would need to be installed by default for that to change dramatically." and then wrote right afterward "I disagree", which did make it sound like that was the thing you were disagreeing with.

..because it is? The statement asserts that being installed by default is a requirement of increasing Linux adoption 'dramatically', whereas I assert it is possible without installing it by default everywhere.

> I think that one of the implicit assumptions of "linux would need to be installed by default for that to change dramatically" was "without any other significant changes happening"

I don't see how it could reasonably be read that way: "Absent any changes except the one I propose, nothing will change unless my proposed change occurs" is a tautology. Not to mention that that interpretation disregards the context of the rest of the post, which very much makes it sound as though parent believes there are no significant barriers to adoption and the only reason people don't choose Linux is that people by and large don't really choose at all.
