I remember Trump saying 50K people die from flu each year. Maybe slightly lower maybe slightly higher but let's use that number. We may be losing that many or maybe at least half that much every month despite 70% vaccination, despite masks, despite many companies still being remote. Basically the vulnerable population is smaller but the death rate is very likely an order of magnitude higher even if you consider the flu season is not a full year.
Exceptions to every rule right. The rule still sounds solid to me if you’re trying to optimize the quality of your interactions.

My personal one from my days of being single, no “cat people”. I’m a “dog person”. I like cats but the slight personality difference between me identifying as a dog person and the people I’ve known who identify as a “cat person” is enough that it just sounds like a waste of my time.
No they definitely don't pre-suppose so. They run ads for main revenue, and just think about what is the definition of ads.
In the sense that HackerNews, the non-startup promo part, is neither a "breaking news" site nor a vocational school. It's a social link posting website for things that interest hackers.

Whether the language is "old" or "dead" has absolutely no bearing to whether it's interesting, inspirational, worthy of study, and so on. Not to mention that hackers should know CS history too.
Student loans are going to be cancelled in 2022-2023 or significantly written down. Also the enterprising student is trying to pay off their loans now at 0%. It's too bad though that Navient restructured itself to mitigate these principal payments. I would say illegal too.
What exactly is the alternative to a credit score? Just taking peoples word they’ll pay you back? No thanks.
Does your evidence of manipulated reporting consist entirely of adjusting the saturation of an image or is there anything more substantial?

Just look at the skin of the human being in both photos - the less saturated one looks 100% more natural (unless the guy actually has orange skin). If anything the over-saturated image is more misleading than the other, more dull, image. But neither are particularly egregious.
> But more than that, every sentence of English must apply the rules of English to every part of itself.

But it is undefined. English doesn't have strong dialects like Chinese does. Southerners are more likely not to pronounce the "w" in wu, so they might say "an wugui" (since they are more likely to say oogway like in Kungfu Panda) while a northerner will say "a wugui", since they are more familiar with saying the w sound. This is only if they are very familiar with English also, otherwise they will completely ignore the distinction between a and an.

So...dialects make the question hard to answer.
Optimizing Matrix Multiplication
Because people in debt are easier to control. It's the same reason we are the only nation that does not provide healthcare as a right. Millions of people would quit tomorrow if they were sure their kids would have access to healthcare.

For reference, visit any nation with these rights. You will find more small businesses, fewer franchised chains, and happier people.
Nope. You’re still making the same mistake. That is not how R0 works. You are falsely assuming that the exponential growth period of the virus stays the same forever. The virus does not reach 100%. R0 as a general trait of a disease assumes everyone is susceptible. That is not how diseases work. There are many diseases with R0 > 1 and guess what? Not everyone got them.

I know you’re caveating “effective R0” but frankly that’s stupid. Saying as long it keeps growing it will keep growing purposefully ignores the point I am making which is that it won’t keep growing.

The effective R0 falls on its own. That is the point being made. It will absolutely not reach 100% of the population. Not even close.
that's factored in as 'sociability'. rather than limiting social activity, the exceptional mitigation could be to distance or wear a mask in indoor social situations (but no need to do so otherwise in most public spaces). you could also test beforehand if that was warranted (like visiting with elderly relatives).
> I use FF every day and it works really well for my purposes

Good for you, but the problem is what many other people don't use FF in any way, even if it worked well for their purposes.
If they're that ambitious and that valuable, they should have no problem paying back the loans.

That's the whole thesis behind making the loans in the first place.
What is so significant about "tank man", and how do you know that no one in China has seen it?
Forgiven can be a real problem because the balance balloons and it could easily triple resulting in a huge tax burden. Once forgiven it becomes income and you get to pay taxes on the whole “gain”
It's not just a case of adding more workers, but adding more processing power and removing bottlenecks so that each event can leave the queue faster.
Whenever I read "modern" javascript code, I'm irritated by the prolifiration of map/filter/reduce.

It makes code harder to read and modify.

A straight for loop is infinitely better in every way.
Only in puritan cultures
The implication is really strong here that they'll coerce you, and that's okay. I hope they don't, and it's not okay if they do. You should be able to invoke the 5th and be silent on any matter, including producing information required to decrypt a private key. Of course, this happened in Japan, it sounds like, and perhaps they have different rules. If so, that sucks and they should change them because torture is morally wrong.
Unrelated side note: Friend of mine was about to marry this girl and as soon as she got her green card she dipped. Another friend of mine met some girl on Duo, bringing her to the states like hmm... do I tell him? Oh well.

Tinder is brutal though, not something I did great on.
I think you mean Bush. It was GW who did this.
Both if your premises are not accurate
That's not why anything was done over it. If they had kept it to political opposition they'd still be using it today. It's specifically using it to root out spies that the US dislikes.
Banks don’t hold the products they securitize. This isn’t the olden days most products at large banks get bundled and sold off
Isn’t log input being untrusted input an opinion?

Because in an alternative universe, they could have chosen to treat log messages like SQL where parameters are passed separately.

Obviously some people must believe that logs should be trusted input, otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation.

That said I consider both logs and error exceptions as untrusted input, but purely on practicality.

Here's the abstract.

We argue that objects that interact in a distributed system need to be dealt with in ways that are intrinsically different from objects that interact in a single address space. These differences are required because distributed systems require that the programmer be aware of latency, have a different model of memory access, and take into account issues of concurrency and partial failure.
We look at a number of distributed systems that have attempted to paper over the distinction between local and remote objects, and show that such systems fail to support basic requirements of robustness and reliability. These failures have been masked in the past by the small size of the distributed systems that have been built. In the enterprise-wide distributed systems foreseen in the near future, however, such a masking will be impossible.
We conclude by discussing what is required of both systems-level and application-level programmers and designers if one is to take distribution seriously.
If a researcher starts pulling fire alarms of random buildings, they will face felony charges.

Would you recycle cigarette butts in your company?
I have a recycling company specialized in cigarette butts that brings colecting and recycling services for companies and turn this garbage into high end products such as paint.

With this paint, we paint murals or walls in every company once an year involving the employees, and we also visit schools every week and hold awareness workshops with colecting days.

If you own a company, or work for a big company, what do you do with cigarette butts everyday?

One single butt can contaminate 50 lt of water!

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks
You're assuming that credit is only available at that price. If he has a car and a credible case to make that he'll be able to give them the money next month, surely he could get it cheaper than that?
Unbelievable! A startup forum with few offering advice on joining a startup.

This is where the real wealth is created.

Sure, if you’re a school teacher. Slow and steady savings is the way.

Not when you are a software developer with skills to create wealth…

And you can join a more established startup, to improve your odds.

People might be happier but there are not more small businesses. But I do agree that health insurance is a big part of it. Less since the ACA passed though since you can get health insurance at any income level now.
>I'm surprised to learn the third myth is even a myth.

Well, it's a "popular science" article. Even peer reviewed, well-cited papers are often unfounded BS (including "meta-studies", which are even easier to mess), so I wouldn't place much confidence in all the myths mentioned actually being myths (and vice versa).
Yes that’s correct
They'd still have a better lifestyle if they used the same amount of energy and used it more efficiently. The lifestyle Germans enjoy is falling behind a hypothetical world where they implemented a cheap energy policy.

How much energy they produce is much more important when assessing how their renewable transition is going. They have barely managed to tread water by doing less per capita and matching their old supply. This is a far cry from the optimistic touting that solar/wind was a viable market competitor to fossil fuels - the evidence here is that these forms of energy are worse.
Illegal loans are harder to collect on. Sure, you have mob tactics, but there's a limit on how far it can go.
Interesting question. Do you mean dispassionate, or even handed, or could you accept that the non sober "it's a con" responses might be non sober but true?

Seriously, what are you looking for. It isn't clear. Do you want to trust it because it's.. "sober" irrespective of what it says?

I think a lot of even handed information is at best superficial. It often implies a false dichotomy, a pro and con model of the world. Some things, physical axioms perhaps as a solid example, don't really present dichotomous bases for for and against arguments. So the even handed discussion of false theories of gravity or the speed of light are kind of silly, counter-productive.

I tend to think the same of web3: it's a con, and has nothing much to do with societal benefit, and a lot to do with ponzi behaviour.

Few economists think cryptocurrency is the answer. Fintech companies may indeed say blockchains are interesting but not because of speculative gain, which is the primary drive for most people. They represent possible models of non repudiation transactions between consenting parties who don't want a single agency to act as ground truth. That's about it. Trust third parties and regulators actually do pretty much as well. Regulators like industry neutral clearing house models which can include block chains, public signed ledger models.
Yeah I think that is exactly what would happen. Private school is like 3x more expensive than college probably 5x when you adjust for time value of money
So now we're going to suddenly admit that natural immunity is a thing.

The science has been super clear on this for a long time. The problem is that the CDC and NIH, the grand tradition of federally funded science, have chosen not to study anything that conflicts with the directives of their organizations. They haven't bothered to study natural immunity and have left it to other countries like Israel.

Instead they pretend like it doesn't exist and claim that they don't have science to support it (exactly like the federal government did with marijuana in the past) because they never bothered to fund studies.

When you factor in the percentage of the population that has been vaccinated, well over 70% of the US population has been exposed to the virus in one form or another.

I caught the virus in the alpha wave. It's been infuriating having the federal government pretend like t cell immunity isn't a thing. For my age group it absolutely is.
I've seen a few codebases that are multiple decades old without rewrites. They are understandable and intelligible. Linux is 30 years old as an open source example.
This is a lie that needs to die. Bankruptcy might get removed from your credit report, but the public court records never do. Anyone who does a credit check can (and will) search those public records.

Bankruptcy stays with you forever.
Note that 23% of those they could sample weren't closely related and the green N woman is a partner of a man in that lineage, but I believe she's not marked specifically as a lineage member member and is unsampled. I don't think "had children with two men who were cousins" would be considered incest by most societies.
For me it always finds everything but the thing I was looking for. I might type someone's name and it comes up with a bunch of other messages from other people that don't even mention the name I looked for.

Unless you have a very specific detail keyword I find it useless. And indeed not being able to jump to the timeline makes it even size.
The article suggests they got the private key (Dec 1) before moving on him (today), although I suppose it’s possible that they got him to talk first. But if it’s that, why even mention private keys?
Im trying to imagine it can you help me? Just seems like a classic slippery slope fallacy to me though.

You claimed Tesla had superior aerodynamics to any other car on the market. That's factually not the case.

I always find it funny that people get so bought in to something as trivial as a car brand that they're unable to differentiate fact from fiction any more.

That's the power of advertising I suppose. They've advertised at you and it worked.
If the build time is being included in the binary by default, I guess that means builds are not reproducible by default? Is there any easy way to exclude or strip the build time to get a reproducible binary?
Or they got a search warrant and found his 24 words, in his house or safe deposit box. Or they surveilled him and found where he hid them. It's pretty hard to keep your keys safe from an attacker able to do that sort of thing, without adding serious risk of accidental loss.

they may have threatened extradition, even if the jp authorities wouldn’t have followed through it would be a useful tactic
Creditors love people who have recently filled for bankruptcy. They're vulnerable, known to be bad with money, and can't file again for a number of years.
10-12 years ago the UK govt signed deals with some companies that would be building the new nuclear power plants ie EDF that they would be getting a minimum price for generation which was double what it was back then. I often think we dont have a free market but a clever fixed pricing market. UK is also windiest country in the world hence all our wind turbines. Dont know if more Electric Mountains will be built to buffer the surplus wind power as more turbines come online, but the bigger the turbine the more that is generated which is the natural progression we are seeing.

Little know fact kept out of the media when we had all the flooding over winter a few years back, one nuclear power station had to be shutdown to avoid a meltdown caused by flooding.

Electricity consumption has gone up with the increase in consumer gadgets, ie computers, tablets, mobiles, big massive flat screens, sound systems ie personal cinema setups, its only natural to see electricity demands go up.

And there is not enough of some of the rare earth materials and other metals used to make or maintain electric cars on the planet unless some miners have been keeping deposits secret, so I expect some miners share prices to go up considerably in the future.
The ACA (Obamcare) revamped student loans such that banks no longer got government guarantees for loans they originated. (The GOP unanimously opposed this "Government Takeover" of the student loan system.) This has created a system where the Department of Education makes the vast majority of loans, and offers other companies a small fee for servicing the loans, but they don't originate or profit from them directly- that's all the USG.

Private lenders do try and cherry-pick the very best borrowers out of the federal system; my wife graduated 5 years ago with a doctorate in Pharmacy and >100,000 in debt, and she got many advertisements to refinance her education loans because she was a pharmacist who was paying enough to finish off her loans in 5 years- she was a great bet to pay off her loans in total, so SoFi, Navient and a whole bunch of their competitors wanted her to refinance through them, but only the DoE was interested in paying for her at the beginning of grad school.
That's true, but the usury back in the day was usually about loans to individuals. These days, you can bankrupt out of it.

Traditionally, the Catholic Church has made a distinction between loans ultimately backed by an individual's ability to sell their labor for money (mutuum loans), and loans ultimately backed by assets (societas loans).

For societas loans, such as a non-recourse mortgage or a business loan, there is no regulation whatsoever. This is just equivalent to moving property around.

For mutuum loans, these are considered as a form of slavery. If a profit is being made on it, it is illicit. The reason it's slavery is that it allows you to sell your time before you have it. If that money is spent, you are now in a position where you are being forced to work for nothing, i.e. textbook slavery.

There's a good FAQ at https://zippycatholic.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/usury-faq-or-..., but I would like to learn more about this topic. Any good books?
If you replace your handset, keep your SIM, how does NSO recapture you? I don't understand how rich powerful technocrats get stung so often: surely the path out is to swap device and move on?

I should be clear I do believe they are being recaptured. I just don't understand how. In the pre digital world, most phone steals were inside jobs: somebody leaked info leading to a voicemail hack or a stingray type cell listen in. Post digital, i suspect a lot of things are still inside jobs, but on phone compromise feels like a problem moving platform solves.
this is quite an interesting project! combining kaitai structs or similar with the command line.

however, i am a little disappointed that the jq syntax was chosen. jq has a very non-intuitive syntax. there are more intuitive query syntaxes out there. (linq or even basic sql come to mind.)
Clearly the funds weren't "washed", because they traced them...

KYC isn't meant to prevent money from moving at all, it's meant to enable tracing of the money.
The clothes my kids have from Shein seem much higher quality than H&M. They are definitely softer/plusher, and they also seem to be more durable.

Isn't the point of SSR to avoid needing to have the client make additional requests for the first render? If I return something like <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={fetchWithGrpc(myGoFunc)} /> that's not SSR. Perhaps I'm missing something.
But people do open up with their criticisms of various government policies to some rando with a camera. That's my point.

Also Asian Boss is a channel run from outside China that does similar interviews in a range of different countries.
I live in a Mandarin-speaking country and speak Mandarin every day. There is no W sound. lol I mean, foreigners can continue mispronouncing it they want, but native speakers are gonna continue to be confused as to why foreigners emphasize the non-existent W sound so much. Foreigners (in my experience) also get confused as to why native speakers _don't_ pronounce a W sound.

Maybe some regional accents overemphasize a W sound? I've never heard one, though.
It's weird to see viewpoints like this when, during the times I still had to commute, there have been many days when the drive to and from the office was the most enjoyable part of the day. That said, driving is going to be far more enjoyable when you have a comfortable car to drive.

Especially with the ongoing pandemic, I don't see the appeal of being crowded into public transit with tons of strangers.
Yep. Either suck it or leave

I believe that is the case for covid at least. If you don't get as sick then that means the virus didn't manage to spread inside the body as much, so there is less viral material that can be spread to others. Now I'm not saying this relationship is linear, I have no clue. We'd have to ask an actual expert.

You are right that this could be offset because there is no isolation happening in case of an unknown infection.

> It seemed to me like the business is having financial trouble

They were ordered to pay $1.2 million in fines and restitution for the military lending violations earlier this year, and ordered not to collect (or sell or assign) on a bunch of those illegal loans, plus the new case has them prohibited from making any new loans and from collecting (selling/assigning) on a large share of their remaining outstanding loans.

So, yeah, they are having financial problems.
Was a generator technician before I got into programming. Even the 2 megawatt systems could start up and take full load in 10-20 seconds. It sounds basically like starting your car with your foot on the gas.

The "when" shouldn't really matter- Diesel engines aren't a new thing. Warming them up isn't really a thing either- they'll have electric warmers hooked up to the building power to keep them ready to go.
I'm working on a solution quite similar to the one you've outlined. OpenFare implements payment plans in code. That means simple setups and programmatic management of payment obligations across software dependencies.

If you're interested, I've written a short article about it here:

This debate is basically just "I learned C first" vs "I learned a higher level language first."
You can't. What you're describing is textbook indentured servitude, which is a form of slavery.

If you're suggesting that some things are only possible to fund through slavery, may I humbly submit that slavery is still wrong, and things which cannot be funded except through slavery have no right to existence?
You could learn to fix it yourself too --- there's no shortage of educational content on the Internet.
