> The vast majority of how society is organized seems to eschew quantification in favor of descriptive qualification.

> The use of metrics in governance has been dramatically increasing as our methods of quantification have developed, but that is definitely a modern development.

These two statements seem slightly contradictory. If quantified metrics in governance has increased as our ability to quantify things has increased, then it would seem that laws did not favor descriptive qualification, they merely relied on it due to lack of ability to quantify.

Or put another way: The only times we don't quantify things is when we cannot.
2FA includes fallback methods, at a minimum a small set of one-time codes. There are paths out of the problem, at costs such as carrying the codes, or having somebody guard them for you (yes, obvious risks)

It is possible to train another device to be Google Authenticator, its a QR exchange. So, selection of which second factor is material here: it can be the device you own, or it can be the TOTP. Its not either/or, it can be both, you pick which.

(not a googler btw. Just a happy 2FA adopter since S/Key)
We've all heard about the children numbers, no one is ignoring anything.

I find it offensive to use "the media" when describing other's positions in a debate. You're basically saying your opponents are brainwashed by evil media while you are completely objective. And ignoring all the media that you consume that backs up your position.

Its an interesting calculation that can assume some relevance if related to a specific case study (find next sexy prime number).

This is kind of funny to read, since in Norway basically every interaction with the government (paying taxes, filing for divorce, accessing our health records etc.) is done through an oauth2 system, the same one we use to log in to our bank accounts/get loans through. Most people haven't interacted with the government via paper in years.

i'm familiar with those (yubikey and titan, didn't knew about krypt). Don't own any of those but always install the FIDO U2F [1] app on my ledger hardware wallets (which is a nice extra).

my issue with using a physical device is that it detracts adoption if there is no other alternative. a browser extension or built-in helps adoption and adoption probably increases the number of people using physical devices.

This is comparing the risk of death for people who are hospitalized to the risk for their age group, which is missing the major confounding factor that those who are hospitalized for Covid (especially in younger cohorts) are very disproportionately sick (from diabetes, obesity, immune issues from transplants, etc).
Oddly enough I saw someone riding one today carrying a fairly big potted plant. He was going somewhat slow but all I could thing is that's an accident waiting to happen.
They have no money. How are they going to afford $100/hr to talk to a professional? More likely than not, their friends and family are their "therapy".
Even if no one died and people only went to the hospital, a huge issue is that they are there in the hospital in need of care and there are finite trained hands in the hospital. Not to mention you still have everyone else coming in with their car accidents and heart attacks at the same time.

Better questions to think about are why the U.S. medical system supporting the words largest economy can't trivially expand its capacity to treat a relatively benign respiratory virus on top of its usual duties, or why there is a shortage in the training pipeline, or why people need ER care for other things in the first place.
Because that’s insane. Normal users couldn’t deal with that. Highly technical users can’t deal with that. It’s too much of a pain in the ass.

The solution is that there should only be one or two chains that everyone uses. Then there’s only one or two little icons you need.

The people who run the trains could make sure they keep running by having tens of thousands of computers. Of course that cost money. Luckily they get money out of the block chain because they can spend coins.

Of course users don’t really like buying things. Maybe it wouldn’t be too hard to put an ad or two in there to pay for things.

The easiest thing to get users on board is to use brands they trust. No normal person is going to trust everything they have two the Kakarot blockchain with an anime superhero for a logo.

Yeah, in the past month, I've caught out 2 bugs in a code review. One was a performance degradation due to a function being passed down into a react `useMemo` hook dependency array. The other was that the code was fixing a symptom, but not the cure.

I guess it depends on the quality of the reviewers.
My view is there is a strong “anchoring effect” at play. Because so many vulnerable actually died at the outset, and indeed since, it’s become a yardstick for damage.

Even the qualifiers of long covid and life altering conditions seems a heavy bar to set. A new rapidly spreading severe flu with low death risk is damaging enough to families and economies to take broad action.

With schools, there has been a strange preoccupation on only the health of the child. For many (like me), the risk is to the child’s parents and family where it is a major vector. I’d say 95%+ of my risk comes from the school risk. Maybe there are not enough of us to show in stats? But the logic is sound. The lack of any improvement in school ventilation in my country has been so terribly disappointing.
Given that evidence of Post Viral syndrome exists for most other viruses, probably about the same as we look at those today.

Not that we have lingering/longer term effects of other viruses to observe though..
Trademarks aren't similar at all. Fundamentally, you have to make it clear that you're a competing product and you can do whatever you want.

Hope you're OK after the Marshall Fire -- "just south of Superior" sounds like a very, very good choice compared to "in Superior" these days.

Do you use public transit in the Denver area at all? I find myself biking to most places because the public transit routes don't really get me where I want to go, but a lot of folks I know in the area used to use the buses and light rail in the before times. Seems like it had a pretty good rep before covid.
I'm reading a biography of the philosopher Seneca. His life is an interesting example of your final point. He was truly one of the ultra-rich in Roman society -- as one of Nero's top advisors, he amassed a fortune, which was arguably not obtained through honest or entirely virtuous means (being primarily from a famously cruel emperor). But some of his famous letters argued that wealth isn't everything, money is "preferred" but not necessary to be a good person, etc. While I think there are some great points to remember in those writings, viewed in context against the author being one of the richest people in the Roman empire at the time it's hard not to see a parallel to your point that the mantra can be "plutocrat propaganda."
Thanks for the insight. To be honest I have almost never fully folded down the middle seats, since you have to move the front seats up, move the floor mats and then fold them in.
Gaps also appear because evolution is not a smooth process, and once in a while a large number of mutations are selected for. We see the same type of pattern even in vitro. Moreover, mutations are not always well described by gaussian processes: the rate of mutation can be seen as having a fat tailed distribution.

> So don't spread the jobs out all over the spokes? Is some urban planning really hard to do here?

“Just completely restructure every single place 80% of the population in one of the country’s largest metro areas lives and works in.”

Yes, there is an argument that Reston, Vienna, etc., shouldn’t exist in their present form (or anything close to it). But that ship sailed long ago.

Efforts to gloss over that reality end badly. The Silver Line and all the adjacent development are monstrosities. Stations are huge concrete edifices in the middle of freeways that are nerve wracking to navigate with a squirrelly three year old. Billions were spent making places that are nice for just a handful of people who can afford $4,000/month for a two bedroom near the McLean Metro so they can take the Silver Line to their job at Google in Reston.

> That isn't true at all in much of the world. Rail transit still works in many non-dysfunctional countries.

Those countries are dysfunctional. Birth rates in these transit-oriented metro areas are well below replacement, meaning that their form of civilization is literally sustainable.

>> The biggest success of crypto has been putting public/private key pairs in the hands of 10s of millions of people.

I would argue that the biggest successes of crypto are selling GPUs and facilitating malware ransom payments.

GPUs have sold like crazy and you are lucky to get a high end one with the current demand. Everybody and their pets are running mining rigs. Good luck getting a nice GPU for machine learning or graphics rendering.

Previously malware authors had to rely on gift cards or similar means to get paid. Now they have variety of cryptocurrencies to choose from and they can even trade cryptocurrencies to launder the paid ransom funds.

Will it even help? In what country did it help? France mandated vaxx passports literally everywhere (pretty much like you suggest) and yet they reported, what, 270k cases just today? Why do you expect a different result in the US from the very same policy?
AA specifically works with health care workers specifically because of this and other problems. If "most" is your bar then death is only a corner case of attempted suicide. Although I thought I admitted that "corner case" was just a poor choice of undefinable wording on my part.

~%5% odds of getting DTs and then 25% of death untreated and 1-5% chance treated don't sound great to me. Treated death of all alcoholics rate looks somewhere between flu and covid death rate and untreated death rate is much worse than covid death rate in populaton. People seem worried about covid death and not considering that a corner case.
However current theories of stellar evolution place the extinction of life on Earth in the range on hundreds of millions of years, due to the increase of its luminosity. For example here's a description of a better climate model [1] extending the time until the surface temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius to one billion years, whereupon feedback of the water content of the atmosphere results in boiling away all liquid water.

So while the sun may be nowhere near the end of its life, the time of Earth lying in its "Goldilocks zone" is much shorter.

I don't trust myself to never, ever introduce a bug. I'd rather that my teammates look it over, because they may have more context on certain areas of the system than I do, or even can just a typo.

I trust my teammates, but if "trust" means "assume they are perfect developers with perfect knowledge of every part of the system who will never make a mistake", sure I don't trust them I guess.

It’s not entirely far fetched. Grandpa used to say that if the cows got into garlic it ruined the milk, some flavors carry over.
It's also relatively standard practice in the US. Of course it's illegal "by the books" just like in France and some parts of the UK. At worst you'd probably get a fine if you get caught in a densely populated urban environment without a good reason.

It's incredibly misleading to say that peeing on the side of the road in an emergency could put you on the sex offenders' registry.

I'd be interested in an example of someone getting on the registry for public peeing without egregious extenuating circumstances (repeated offence next to a daycare, or something)
My district is short on teachers. Here, it takes 10 years of service to vest into a pension, and most teachers burn out way before then. I’d love to see an example of the waiting list you’re talking about. Maybe my district can advertise there to find help.
Even in Europe I wouldn't find it all that difficult to believe. We see the same sort of pattern, qualitatively speaking, even in well controlled in vitro experiments.
It worked though. OP clicked on the link and proceeded to talk about it here on this forum. Would you have seen that study otherwise? I would not. Regardless if it doesn't work on everyone, that shouldn't be the goal. The links should be there for those of us who click on them.
>Water is harder to store in the winter since it will freeze and burst containers if full

Very true. I live in a hot climate and often freeze water bottles to take with me in the summer. A full sealed bottle, even a solid one like a Nalgene, will easily break when frozen. But I've found that leaving 10-15% of space empty and cracking the top ever so slightly prevents any sort of breaks.

Leaving the bottle cracked open might not work so well for car storage though, unless it's secured upright.
I mined a teeny tiny bit of Dogecoin years ago. One of the times it spiked in price, I decided to convert my teeny tiny bit into Etherium. So I used a wallet on a cryptocurrency trading site.

But I am SURE I’ll remember which of the 1200 common block chains I use for my credentials.

> At the risk of spreading FUD, it would not surprise me to learn that perhaps this web3 thing is being fuelled/funded by the existing crop of online advertising networks or their close associates?

Hardly FUD, of course these companies are watching. They have more cash than they know what to do with. They will acquire anything that even remotely takes off (even by the low standards of crypto).

Google acquired their way into all of their major businesses. None of the following were built by them:

- Google Ads (DoubleClick, acquired 2005)

- Google Analytics (Urchin, 2004)

- Youtube (acquired 2005)

- Android (also 2005)

The dates are off the top of my head, so I could be off by a year or two.
I'm almost entirely plant based and despite this, my child will not go near a vegetable. It's reached a point where I use extra vegetables when I make stocks because she will eat soup, but only if it has meat and no visible vegetables. Putting extra vegetables in the stock likely accomplishes nothing but it makes me feel a little bit better.

I've gone so far as to watch exotic cooking shows on YouTube with her to see if any vegetable dishes or different ways to prepare them are interesting. I deserve a fucking Michelin star with all I've learned about cooking vegetables for her. Despite this, vegetables are bad and "Mmmm actually, kids don't have to eat vegetables."

I think the issue with syntax like this is that unless the compiler/language is smart enough, this syntax can be significantly slower than traditional for-loops. For-loop blocks are often scoped differently than arbitrary closures, can capture variables differently, and have different performance overheads. Prime example is JS's Array.map being much slower than a native for-loop without optimization.

I just want to know where the money is going to schools these days. Per-capita, inflation-adjusted public funding for schools in the US varies from flat to way up depending on which US state you choose over my lifetime.

Similarly the US spends the 4th most per capita, and about 1/3 more than the average of OECD countries.

I don't think money alone will fix this problem, judging by the number of quality teachers I know that leave for lower paying positions at private schools...

I think you can actually be happy if those people are not in your social circle. Your brain has a way of forgetting what is not in your proximity. It’s very different knowing that a distant cousin is a rich guy vs the cousin that hangs out with you every weekend.
I’ve lived here for decades, so I am very familiar with the weather here—I am of the opinion that it was an unusual volume of rain leading up to the snowfall, rain all night before transitioning to heavy snowfall early AM where I am.

There's Wikibooks Cookbook, but it has nowhere near the reach of Wikipedia.

A) The tastes/smells of many fluids humans produce are noticeably affected by the foods they eat

B) Many with experience with milk-generating livestock will cite that the feed has a meaningful effect on the flavor of the milk.

Why would human breast milk be the exception to both of those premises?
Norton Editor was my favorite editor. I carried it around on a 3 1/2" diskette (with other essential utilities), for years.

It had a unique feature in its copy-paste. If you marked a region and then moved 1 character into the region and pasted it, the editor expanded the marked region to include the copied text. You could repeat that and grow a paste buffer exponentially. I used to have fun using that to create huge files with funny (to a teenager) quotes quickly on diskettes that my friends had laying around and then hiding the file.

I was also surprised by many of the comments. I had only played with minio a bit, and was considering using it. The durability comments were concerning, and there were other issues too.

One example is this bug: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/8873

Basically, it was treating object names like foo//bar in them the same as foo/bar, except for sharding, which thought they were different.

Their fix was just to disallow '//' in an object name, even though other s3-like implementations allow it.
> But our fortunate circumstances made it so that I do not feel like it was particularly difficult for our children. As a result I have not reacted very strongly to local authorities continuing very cautious policies regarding masks and cohorting in schools.

This has been my experience too among families I know. If anything it has been more difficult on parents than it has been on children. That may be another source of reaction towards school polices.
This what you have?
