For everything else, it’s easy to either generate webp alternates to jpeg/png and use a picture element (for non-responsive srcset, only three inner elements are required for this), or to use Cloudflare or an image CDN that automatically serves webp.

Author here. I think there is definitely room for improvement in the iterator API. I intend to experiment with more implementations in the coming weeks with the goal of settling on something better by the time Go 1.18 is released. The main alternative I have in mind is a cursor-style iterator (for example, with `Next`, `Done`, and `Value` methods). If you have something else in mind too, let me know and I might be able to try it out.

Some interesting numbers at https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/new-report-reveal... and https://abcnews.go.com/Health/3600-us-health-workers-died-co...

All of that is pre-delta, remember that when COVID first hit in 2020 we still didn't have a good idea how it spread.

The tl;dr is that the US government doesn't do a good job of collecting statistics of how many health care workers died of COVID.

1.5k nursing home workers seems to be the one reliable # from the first article, and The Guardian is saying around 3600 healthcare workers in total.

https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/21/who-estimate-115000-heal...

WHO reports over 100k deaths of healthcare workers world wide.

So statistically a small #, but it doesn't account for the # of nurses who got COVID and had long term symptoms that kept them from going back to work, or who just decided to no longer work at all.

And it looks like these #s are highly biased towards major population centers, so it wasn't an even distribution from the country or anything.

- You cannot travel abroad (no passport for average citizens, except for those that study/work abroad)

- You cannot go beyond China's intranet

- You cannot transfer money out of country legally, pretty soon can't invest in other countries's stocks

- You cannot watch Spiderman, BTS, squid games, porn and many many more things legally

- You have very little rights as LGBT

- You have to work 9-9-6. Which is why many citizens are lying flat

- You are constantly watched, monitored, "invited" to police station for tea, banned for posts that contain any words that are on the growing banned list

- You should not get rich (1/3 of billionaires have died or disappeared)

- You have little recourse as a woman who is abused by men in power

- You are constantly subjugated to random mass testing

- Oh and there's the yearly flood + crashing economy + crashing real estate + aging workforce + factory jobs leaving + dictatorship

I agree it's a thread, and what you state here was actually going to be my response to that.

> First, it was directed at targets not actually bound by the relevant law.

Yes, that's the worst thing about this. At the same time, I think those people should be prepared to answer things like this. The world we live in means anyone can send them the same request at any time, for real reasons (even if that person might be incorrect in what they are requesting).

> Second, even if it was directed correctly, many would probably view it as a frivolous use of that law.

From what I read of the statute, it appears to be exactly what that section of the law is for. To my (layman's) eyes, this is part of what the "request to know" verbiage in the law is for.

It's just as well you and I were not appointed to deal with this. It could have got ugly.

Let's start off with demolishing the houses with a controlled explosion that just implodes the structures so that we don't fire termites off into the blue. Carefully distribute the house remains to the perimeter. All crossings of the perimeter will involve a thorough decontamination.

Now we drill two metre (6'ish) deep holes every two metres with a diameter of at least 32mm (1.25"). Then we treat the problem:

Find the perimeter of infestation (may have to destroy more properties). Create a 3m (10') deep trench, 30cm (12") wide along the entire perimeter. Fill the trench with standard 1-2-3 conc. Make sure it is vibrated properly and use a viscosity admix. to ensure the trench is properly filled.

We'll need some heavy lift helis eg Chinooks - several are available from the Army and RAF or perhaps EH101 based jobbies - Army. We'll also need some containers and I think a 8 cu yard skip ie a standard builder's skip will do nicely. Yes we do have a wacky approach to units here in the UK. Fill the skips with boiling water and use the helis to drop the water on the area from above. Consider salting the water to lower the boiling point and make it more toxic in an environmentally responsible way.

Finally we go in with a fleet of ready mix lorries with pumps and long hoses. We pump a cementitious slurry into the holes and then finish with a capping slab of conc as required to support subsequent structures.

Okay, and who does their job? I mean "no-one can get chemotherapy because the oncology department was told to go work in the ICU" probably isn't a great outcome, either.

ICU capacity can, and in many countries has, been expanded to some extent. But you're not realistically going to 10x it or anything; the main area of concentration has to be reducing the demand on it in the first place (via vaccination, pre-hospital treatment, public safety measures, and, as a last resort, lockdowns).

Dispatch from the Truthaverse
No, now that I pay close attention to it I do hear a difference. "Been" sounds like English "bane" indeed, "beer" goes a bit in the direction of English "beer". I would never have noticed on my own.

I don't think there's difference between the two in the south, but maybe there is and I just never heard it. (Of course we pronounce the "ee" differently anyway (more like the Luxemburgish pronunciation on https://nl.forvo.com/word/ee/ than the Dutch one), and our "r" is different too, hence also the transition from "ee" to "r"; maybe that changes the whole thing.)
You need to borrow $200 for 60 days. Is it cheaper to do so for a flat $10 fee on repayment or by using a credit card with an APR of 20% (compounded monthly)?

I can't do the math to answer this question in my head. I suspect you can't either. The point of normalizing the cost of borrowing money to an APR is so that a consumer can make this decision without having to solve exponential equations.
dodging sudden obstacle is not something one usually does with higher level reasoning. if you fullscreen the better quality version from streamable and immerse in the situation, while the truck is hard to spot, brain can definitely see something is occluding road painting and other cars light.

in person one might not realize a truck is there, but brain would probably think "something not right" and alert senses maybe even reflexively release pressure on the accellerator, so that when higher level consciousness makes out the truck, body is primed to act.
No not quite, burning fuel for heat locally will always be at least twice as effective as ideal conversion to power, followed by ideal conversion to heat, in practice its closer to three times. Therefore power prices need to fall substantially gas prices before the switch is worth it. That will never happen while producing power from gas or more expensive alternatives. In particular since the gas distribution infrastructure is in place and effectively subsidized/on a different budget.

But if they produced nuclear at the price they used to be able to in Germany, before regulations and investment insecurity drove up the price, buying gas just could not compete.

Sweden, notably getting half its power from nuclear, does not need anyone else. Same thing for france.
I mean, that probably makes you an asshole if you do it, like the people that ran this study, but honestly, everyone should know their immigration status, right? If some random person emails you asking your immigration status, I think most people should know how to deal with that.

I am fully aware. Parent was probably not.
Alas, the more likely scenario is "I need $500 to fix my car. Damn piece of shit needs repair at least once or twice every year. If I had a brand-new F350, I would save so much money on repairs!"

And they happily drive off the lot with a $80k car loan at 36%. People are, pardon my french, dumb as shit when it comes to car purchases. They are very happy to lose a guaranteed $10k/year in deprecation, so they won't get hit by a $2000 surprise bill.
I'm from Sweden, having a young baby sleep the night in a separate room is almost unheard of over here! How do you handle the first time with multiple nightly feedings?

We have 3 kids, we've had our babies between us in our bed for the first two weeks or so, thereafter a bedside crib for about 3 months until they've outgrown it, then switched over to a separate IKEA crib, still in our bedroom. We've then moved them over to their own bedrooms somewhere around their first birthday.
He's certain because of energy budgets, weight constraints, safety reasons and more. The history of the automobile vs aircraft shows he's right.

To move something in the air inherently uses more energy than any sort of ground transport. To make the aircraft more efficient, you have cut weight, which means more exotic (i.e. expensive) materials. The powerplant has to have a higher power:weight ratio (again more expensive). It's more dangerous to be flying, so you need additional safety equipment that ground vehicles don't need. Etc, etc.

And if any aviation technologies manages to gain price/performance better than the stuff used for ground transport... it will be adopted by ground transport. Which still leaves air transport more expensive for the reasons listed above and many others. Hell, in WW2, they stuck an aircraft engine into the most common US tank (sherman). Interestingly, sherman tank crews didn't have to worry about falling out of the sky and dying if their engine failed (though they had lots of other worries, of course).

Long story short: there is nothing magical about electric motors turning propellers.
And battery energy density is utterly horrible vs gasoline/kerosene. Air transport will ALWAYS be more expensive than ground transport. Perhaps someday it will be cheap enough to be common. But personally, I doubt that such a day is anytime soon.

Last aside... You can buy a small used two or four seater plane NOW for < $100k. Get a pilots license and you can fly around to your heart's content. General passenger aviation today is not reserved for the ultra rich.

Heating is largely natural gas based, so it's not substitutive. I don't think Germany should be shutting down its nuclear reactors, but that has nothing to do with Russian gas. (Unless perhaps they started making synthetic methane using the heat of a nuclear reactor, which is not a terrible idea but not something they are currently doing AFAIK.)

But their entire premise was that they weren’t simply going to use existing credit scores.

> Remember, LendUp is likely just a middle man and marketer; it's facilitating the loan, not doing the actual underwriting (and therefore rate setting).

Over $350m to be a middle man for small loans seems like an absurd amount of funding. I assumed and hope all that cash was because they’re actually lending directly.
I haven't looked at what kernel people are doing in a while, but Realtek doesn't seem to have changed their policy here in the last 25 years(!), so it doesn't seem quite fair to blame the kernel community in this instance. I remember fighting with Realtek's "thrown over the fence" open source drivers around the turn of the century. Their self-produced code quality doesn't seem to have improved in that time span at all, either.
I also implemented MQTT for industrial machines to publish data to a broker. It was trivial to create a web UI that subscribed to that broker via MQTT over Websockets. But I noticed that colleagues had this impression that MQTT cannot be used on the web, so they wanted to build a conversion from MQTT to SignalR.. a quick search would've cleared it up, but they were so sure for some reason. After I showed them the demo they just went with MQTT as well.
Is it really that surprising that the act of reacting to a message with an emoji isn't E2EE, given the server needs to count the number of reactions? One could encrypt the emoji itself, but it doesn't seem like a massively sensitive datapoint in its own right. (That said, we will encrypt them eventually, but it's just not very high priority given the fact it doesn't practically feel very high impact, relative to all the other things we could be doing to improve Matrix).

This is getting very Gishy. I'll just repeat the original point upthread and depart: Teslas (and the model Y in particular) have poor rearward visibility because of a tapered afterbody, and this was done as a deliberate design decision (one of many) that makes them the most aerodynamic cars on the market. None of that has to do with towing or V2L.
Sure, but again the example was washing clothes, and clothes dryers use a LOT of energy.

Holy crap, doing the math a US style dryer would cost ~1.50 in electricity in Germany to dry one load of clothing.

Sources: https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/Germany/electricity_price...
https://www.thespruce.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-run-an-el...

So, like, you know, yeah. My dryer has a delay start function on it, if late night prices are 1/2 peak, then I'd save 75 cents a load. Let's say 3 days a week of laundry, $9 a month in savings.

Again, my dryer already does this, it isn't new tech, it is just nudging me to make use of the existing button that is already there!

US electricity prices are so low, eh, not really worth it for the state I live in.

Just as an FYI: if you have stock in a regular brokerage account, you can take out a margin loan in cash immediately. It depends on the broker, but IME it's fairly common (e.g. Fidelity does it).

Margin has a bad name as a "high risk" activity, but that's mostly when you have a concentrated position and are taking out a margin loan to double down on that concentrated position. Using margin as a bridge cash loan for a few days is a fairly low-risk proposition.
