"The redefinition undermines what most would colloquially understand as a vaccine"

It's very common for people outside of a profession to misunderstand terms from within that profession. That generally doesn't mean we get to redefine it on the fly. The Covid vaccines are vaccines because it is the correct and appropriate terminology to use within the fields that develop and administer vaccines. In terms of not being a "cure" and needing boosters, that is true to varying degrees for most vaccines. Flu vaccines - which for years have uncontroversially been called vaccines - are often less effective than the Covid vaccines.
The point is that there is no one predefined "good enough", but rather the level of quality that code needs to reach is context dependent. That is why you end up constantly refactoring a little each time you touch the code as that context has usually shifted.
to your point, i wonder how many of the "needs to be upgraded" apps just need a recompilation with current Xcode, then resubmission, and I don't know the answer.

I don't know how you can call it misleading if my immediate, natural, non-clever interpretation of the image matches a valid possibility. If anything, it's the insistence that "no no it's got a be a [truncated] pyramid with three sides at the base" that feels bolted on and arbitrary.

Also, the solution I responded to adheres to "each side entirely within a plane"[1] and "is a polyhedron". To make this impossible, you have to add information -- the assumption that this must be a triangular pyramid -- that is not present in the image itself.

Furthermore, the solution here, does not require that you be looking at it at a very precise angle that gets everything to line up perfectly, as you'd need for e.g. the Penrose triangle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_triangle

Bottom line, it is a different kind of thing than usual impossible figures.

[1] Assuming I'm interpreting "side" correctly? But any definition where the solution violates it, also feels arbitrary.

Ye I meant running it and then correcting the error.

Concerning binary search I acctually implemented that in an ECU for message sorting. It took like a whole day, including getting the outer boundries one off too big in the first test run. Funnely enough the vehicle ran fine anyway.

I would never pull that algorithm off correctly in an interview without training to, I think.
I agree with you, but at least Valve's in the sphere, doing their thing.
Security isn't just confidentiality. It's availability too. Losing all your data if a single device is lost or stolen or breaks is bad availability.

Export isn't delayed. The Android app has export and import already. They said it's likely they'll remove it once the Android app has history transfer like the iOS app.
This doesn't address the claims, and honestly feels evasive. The original comment specified:

"(and that might be true for lot of the intl founders YC funds). But for most in the US"

ie., they agree things might be different for international YC startups, but they are talking specifically about US startups. That half of the startups are international doesn't matter for claims about the sub-population of US startups. Likewise, any particular type of startup could be well-represented among all YC companies but not US companies.

Both liberals and conservatives are massive hypocrites. Neither ideology has a consistent set of beliefs when it comes to personal liberty. Both will use arguments from personal liberty when it's for something they support and will conveniently forgot about those arguments for issues they don't support.

Liberals support "my body, my choice" when it comes to abortions, but they don't want you to have a choice over whether or not to get the vaccine. Conservatives support "my body, my choice" when it comes to vaccines, but don't want to you have a choice over whether or not to get an abortion.

There, it's settled. You're all hypocrites.

And for the record, I'm triple vaxxed, anti-mandate, pro-choice, and think all drugs should be legalized.
A (somewhat?) vegan perspective.

I've teetered on staying committed to veganism for ethical reasons, and have spent time on and off with vegan diets. I don't at all think (nor do I think most vegans think [see disclaimer]) that pigs are worthy of equal moral consideration as humans. I, along with most humans, think that pigs as well as other animals are worthy of some level of moral consideration. Most would be rightfully outraged at the torture of animals for fun, for instance.

Vegans take it a small step further, the moral consideration of a pig outweighs the pleasure provided to our taste buds by consuming their flesh. The prior two examples of consumption and torture, while vastly different, are also on a whole different level than raising pigs to save human lives. If you agree that pigs and humans are NOT morally equivalent (which is most people, including most vegans [see disclaimer],) then I think you are committed to the idea that it is imperative to raise and kill pigs to save human lives.

[Disclaimer: neither vegans or non-vegans are monoliths. There are countless ethical, religious, and practical frameworks one will employ to arrive at any particular ethical position.]
> This is a pandemic, not a woke celebration of not hurting each others feelings

Right. That's why we need vaccines, and not an excuse for the crap your espousing to not get vaccinated.
Apple could simply reimplement APN and iCloud Files and etc over their own Private Relay connections, so that any carrier who blocks Private Relay ends up blocking all push notifications to all Apple devices. They have not yet done so, but if they do, either all US carriers will have to collude to block it — which could reasonably be considered anti-competitive behavior and would attract immediate governmental review — or they'd all have to allow Private Relay, as otherwise they'd bleed millions of customers due to being hostile to iPhone.

It seems safe to assume that Apple doesn't like user APN traffic being tracked any more than the rest of their traffic, and so I would imagine this is essentially the roadmap for all Apple Services provided to their users over the next few years.

It's also possible the Beta is just to see what happens when they make the traffic visible and possible to block, and having seen the carriers tending towards "block anything that inhibits tracking", they might simply target Private Relay 2.0 as "HTTP3 over 443/udp to http3.apple.com" and have that be an N-way reflector point for all customer-provided Apple services, including Private Relay and the rest as different channels over that multipath HTTP3 layer. They chose to implement Private Relay in a way that could be detected, and are measuring how neutrality-hating carriers respond. Assuming it's their final answer is not a bet I'd take.

You're right that they're achieving the goals of the governments, but they're not living up to the public's understanding of "vaccine" -- it's vaporware, or over-promise under-deliver from what we all expected when we were enticed by "vaccine" to take the jab.

in a lot of ways this is a PR issue and undermining of good faith more than a facts/data issue. There may not be any specific conspiracy but for whatever reason they're acting in an untrustworthy manner.
> If you possess this information and plan to move to (or even visit) China, I imagine US immigration will look at you very closely and not simply allow you to leave to go work for Chengdu Aerospace Corporation.

I don't think the US border control system works like that. If you're a citizen, you never need an exit visa. IIRC, as long as you have a valid passport, you can exit and enter as you please, but if there's probable cause to suspect you of a crime they can arrest you.

China's system, on the other hand, does work like that. IIRC, anyone with any authority or access to secrets isn't allowed to have free control over their passport, and they have systems for denying people exit permission.
I agree but many places, IE, schools, have terrible ventilation... also I own a mask factory so my bias is going to be providing info on mask filtration :-)
What is it with people categorising others as “anti” this or “pro” that? He had a bad experience with this particular vaccine and for this very justifiable reason is skeptical about them.

What this reflects is the tribalist nature people like yourself have subscribed to.

And to be honest its a valid assessment because who would've thought we would need a 4th booster as Israel has done?
Should do nothing. If your software come with a contract, well, that's different I guess. Otherwise, make sure you have a reproducible for a start.
I wrote something else, but actually, upon 2nd thought, you are correct. I do think morality is an invention. A quote (one of my favorites) describes better than I can.

“Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak. Historical law subverts it at every turn. A moral view can never be proven right or wrong by any ultimate test. A man falling dead in a duel is not thought thereby to be proven in error as to his views. His very involvement in such a trial gives evidence of a new and broader view. The willingness of the principals to forgo further argument as the triviality which it in fact is and to petition directly the chambers of the historical absolute clearly indicates of how little moment are the opinions and of what great moment the divergences thereof. For the argument is indeed trivial, but not so the separate wills thereby made manifest. Man's vanity may well approach the infinite in capacity but his knowledge remains imperfect and howevermuch he comes to value his judgments ultimately he must submit them before a higher court. Here there can be no special pleading. Here are considerations of equity and rectitude and moral right rendered void and without warrant and here are the views of the litigants despised. Decisions of life and death, of what shall be and what shall not, beggar all question of right. In elections of these magnitudes are all lesser ones subsumed, moral, spiritual, natural.” -- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West

I am extremely thankful moral law was invented. I invented my own, just like everyone else has for thousands of years. Our individual Human morals generally have enough overlap to keep things working. But they aren't true "laws".

It's true that in CS in particular, there are more men graduating than women. But people should say that instead of just "STEM."

And they should probably express concern about not enough men studying e.g. biology, especially since many of the career paths that biology is a prerequisite for are relatively stable and well-paying.
The jump from "some people aren't as bothered by masks and are more ok with staying home" to "these same people wouldn't mind if a disease that already killed millions just lingers forever" is... baffling.

If you don't take food as an example, see it like this: If I gift you a hammer, MIT disclaimer and all, you should not complain if it does not work or falls apart on the first few uses. Totally fine.

I don't have numbers handy, but I would suspect that at least 10x more Americans caught Covid at work as out partying. If only because people spend more time at work.

My experience is bulk of the problem is insufficient monitoring. ML systems need heavy monitoring and should be sending lots of metrics to stuff like prometheus/grafana. There should also be validation/consistency checks for all data pipeline/feature transformations. And you should strongly avoid duplicating logic for stuff like feature preprocessing. I've seen people implement "same" feature preprocessing pipeline twice (one python, one java) and it is so common to find edge case bugs for a long time especially when these bugs only slightly impact model behavior.

Another issue is proliferation of data pipelines. The more distinct pipelines you have, the more painful they become to monitor. It is much better to minimize pipelines and do views on a small number. I think proliferations of models is a similar issue. It is often easier to build 4 models instead of 1 multi-task model, but monitoring/operational tasks grow more and more painful as you manage more models.

In the US, at least, Google Fi is essentially a T-Mobile MVNO. It was previously T-Mobile, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular, but T-Mobile bought Sprint, and U.S. Cellular divested a fair amount of its network.

I saw conflicting reports about whether Google Fi was affected by T-Mobile's reported text message censorship. I don't know where it stands on this iCloud Private Relay issue.
We've been convincing people to get vaccinated so they can restart normal life again. It is no surprise that lots of people are getting frustrated if the promise has not been delivered and there is no end in sight. Particularly, when they themselves are low-risk or already had mild COVID in the past.
The 9-80 as we called seemed like the most popular option in my building. Ten hour days was too long for some. It was nice getting every other Friday off.

I've heard from a tech in one of those "protect you child online" software companies that some American states hold their educational facilities liable for things kids do on school-issued computers (like Chromebooks) or networks (like school WiFi). If a kid Googles porn on a school laptop while doing homework and a parent gets angry, they could actually win a lawsuit in some places, and the situation would be worse if the school doesn't try their hardest to block such things from the school networks. Of course, this is from the perspective of a company selling block boxes, but apparently their story worked out.

It's silly (and honestly sad) legislation but these companies were scooping up customers everywhere. If the choice is between "block porn and circumvention" or "no student internet access", choosing the latter could have devastating effects on kids without stable internet access at home. In my opinion, these laws should obviously not reach so far, and anything but a basic DNS block should even be illegal in my opinion, but reality is rarely what I want it to be. In the end, private relays suffer from the same restrictions and DoH and other privacy-enhancing protocols.
An organic heart can self-repair itself, unlike the mechanical one. It's also "proven" to potentially last 100 years with no maintenance required.
the "Transportation" name for those fixed camera systems are "Rwis" (Road Weather Information System) stations. Definitely check them out before you highway drive but also be aware that changing weather conditions can make roads slippery or otherwise dangerous.

The plow cameras and sensors (plow position, salt/aggregate activity, etc) are more useful for transportation operations staff to know what's been plowed and what still needs plowing but technically do take pictures of the whole highway instead of just the rwis stations.
License is pretty good starting point for that. Or, simply making closed source only as overwhelming majority of programmers do.

The whole "contributing to open source" while effectively saying "I think open source should not exist and is rip of" makes no sense in world where literally nothing forces you to create open source.

That doesn't mean it's right. In this case, it is wrong; collective bargaining goes way back, and while it is true that some unions officers have been crooks (and indeed controlled by Mafia), unions did not come from the Mafia.

It's one of those technically true statements. Like "the history of the web in the US is inseparable from child pornography". Yes, some regulations were put in place because of the existence of child porn, but the implication that the web was created by/for child molesters is wrong.

Apple could theoretically attempt (or at least threaten) a hostile takeover of any of them

Yeah, that's not Apple's style. Besides, they don't want all of the legacy crap that comes with owning a cell phone carrier.

I suspect the issue is making its way up the corporate ladder through various directors and Vice Presidents.

And I'm sure Apple's got a business plan for running their own MVNO they could dust off if things get out of hand. But let's hope it doesn't come to that.

The magnet URL format is at least using multihash:

> magnet:?xt=urn:btmh:<tagged-info-hash>&dn=<name>&tr=<tracker-url>

> The info-hash with the btmh prefix is the v2 info-hash in multi-hash format encoded in hexadecimal.
I was going to point out how old all of the info in the article was (why talk about Kyoto when the Paris accords and COP are more recent and more relevant) but then realized the article is from 2017.

Ignoring the nonsense idea that climate change would be good for Canada, many criticisms are not true anymore. Keystone XL is cancelled. Justin Trudeau (and the Liberal party) ran their last campaign on a plan to meet the Paris accord targets. Government subsidies are more and more being moved from oil and gas to sustainable energy. There's a whole lot more to be done and lots of fair criticism but I doubt even Jesse Brown would be as strongly critical today.

I don't think I have it backwards at all. Non-vaccinated people are not going out and partying (partly because they legally can't, and partly because they probably don't feel like dying). There's very little avenue for them to even catch the virus, let alone spread it, especially because catching it means _probably_ being symptomatic and thus knowing not to be around people.

I mean, "breakthrough infections among vaccinated individuals remain uncommon" is simply false?? My friend's entire family of 15 people all got Omicron despite being double-vaccinated and boosted. After they already all had Delta last year as well! That's not "uncommon", that was literally a 100% infection rate, twice, for the family members who gathered.
