Ford would have to be A) willing to actually sue someone, and B) willing to deal with the fallout when the only person who doesn't bend to their will turns out to be a widow with six kids from fucking Texas, whose legal bills are covered by a Go Fund Me and GM very publicly gives her a Silverado EV just to rub it in.

Ford will absolutely win in court, but not every battle is fought in the court room.

It feels like we're on the precipice of linking a number of neurodegenerative diseases [1], auto-immune diseases [2], and a whole host of other ailments to immune and gut health.

Likewise finding incredible links for liver (potentially Alzheimer's [3]) and pulmonary health (air quality, heart disease [4]).

Who knew? But it seems obvious in retrospect. We're truly dynamical, vastly interlinked systems.

After reading you, I wish I drink coffee so I can quit and experience the same feeling you experienced.
Due to some Postgres limitations, a query can run even after the connection drops (the backend process only checks if there's still a client to send results to after query completion). I think I saw some work being done on this in 14 or the upcoming 15 (i.e., to re-check periodically during query processing), but a lot of Postgres versions are still affected. I worked on the Heroku Data team and we regularly saw queries running for days. I think starting with an aggressive timeout to fail fast where you can't afford a slow query anyway, and then make exceptions where it makes sense, is easier to work with than tracking down problem cases and putting in limits after they cause issues.
> but it is one step of many on the path for SHA256 to become broken in the future

I disagree. It's evidence that the given path is not fruitful for breaking SHA256 in the future. When numerous researchers worldwide have attacked a function, and only broken X out of N rounds, for X << N, and future research hasn't been able to improve X for years, that's pretty good evidence that the technique used isn't going to continue to apply for more rounds. The existence of a multi-billion dollar bug bounty for breaking SHA256 (Bitcoin) that's gone unclaimed for years is further evidence that it's quite strong.
Almost exactly the same story here. 6-8+ cups a day, cold turkey with no replacements. Two weeks of misery and headaches and a beautiful new beginning. I drink one decaf or mate a day from time to time now. And I drool like a bloody St. Bernard when I pass by a coffee stand where they serve the real stuff. So I am still a coffee junkie, my body is no longer addicted but my mind is. But it was definitely worth it to quit.
This is amazing. It might actually make it easier for me to explain what NFTs actually are if they're completely separated from a blockchain and the rest of the malarkey.
Of course he did. Intent matters, and this was a reasonably foreseen consequence of the way the system is set up.

He knew how npm works and he knew the implication of adding that code is that hundreds of libraries and production systems would automatically upgrade and install it.

In fact, the whole point of what he did was to introduce the code into production environments.

Absolutely! Thanks for pointing that out.
The major hospitals in my (Top 10 American) metro area are currently doing patient "diversion." In practice, this means that they are not accepting most trauma patients, elective surgeries like cancer removals are being delayed, and patient care for non-Covid conditions is being impacted. This is primarily due to the hospitals being at/over capacity. These hospitals are not admitting hypochondriacs, the folks taking up the beds are sick and need to be hospitalized.
Thanks for taking the time to explain all of these cases.

While I was reading I noticed some of them being weird but your insight was really helpful.
Sure, perceptions differ, especially from different points of view. People at YC put a ton of effort into what I've described. Is a lot more needed? Of course. They'd be the first to agree with you about that. That doesn't mean the efforts to date aren't worth anything, though; let's not fall into being binary about this. Nor does it change the point about the differential impact of a $500k deal, for those who do get funded and don't have external resources to fall back on.

> But for most in the US, it seems like YC funds only [etc.].

That's far from accurate, and I don't think it's very helpful to say "for most in the US". Surely only a small minority in the US have even heard of YC.
Well first, "I could just bankroll myself and save 7%!" is not how risk management works. Second, the level of privilege in this comment is astounding. $500k is a lot of money if you didn't grow up elite.
> Keep vaccinating and closing things until COVID goes to zero on its own" just seems like denying the reality that COVID is endemic at this point

At this point, yes.

But last year? In Spring and early summer? Look at COVID cases compared to vaccination rates. Case counts were dropping fast, but then vaccination stalled. A couple months later, Delta began ripping through and we got our second wave.

I sincerely believe that we could have been through with this if we had reached 95% vaccination by July.

I'm undecided if we should still continue masking and any restrictions at this point. I want to say "Fuck it. Everyone who wants a vax can get one, if you don't, I will have zero pity if you get infected.", but the fact is, ICU's are still being overrun.

I wasn't talking about US, and that's exactly the point: global poorest are rapidly improving. And the only reason why a national economy like US is seeing income inequality is exactly because in reality, it's not a "national economy". It's part of the global economy, and in particular it's the part where the richest people from all around the globe end up.
It's a technically complete POC of NFTs, as far as I can tell.

Emacs has a lot of cool little touches to the way it blinks the cursor.

blink-cursor-delay (defaults to 0.5 seconds): Keeps the cursor visible and not blinking when you're rapidly navigating around or typing. Most other apps seem to do this sort of thing too, but it's an easy detail to overlook.

blink-cursor-blinks (defaults to 10): Blinks the cursor a certain number of times and then stops blinking.

One way I do customize it is to set blink-cursor-alist to '((t . hollow)). When the cursor blinks it alternates between a full block and the outline of a block so that it never disappears completely.
What about "long COVID"? There are some studies suggesting sudden spikes in kids becoming diabetic after having COVID. These long term health impacts will take years to be known and fully understood. Getting COVID is to be avoided at all costs, IMO.
This was always dubious, even to a layman.

When a source suggests the extended lungs would continue to inflate and deflate, or 'flutter' - which would become physically impossible the moment the diaphragm is detached - then their credibility becomes questionable, suggesting whole story was probably crap.

Early and medieval Christians appear to have fetishised pain, telling tall tales of agonising death and martyrdom, seemingly to reinforce their moral superiority over savage heathens.
I quit coffee and tea 7 years ago. I loved the taste of black coffee but I had trouble sleeping and didn't love the idea of being addicted to anything. Weeks of headaches but I came out just fine. Sometimes I wonder if being addicted all my teenage years made my brain somewhat dependent on it, and if that has led to an off-caffeine lower IQ or something, that's a fun rabbit hole to go down.

7 years on it still tempts me, but not like seeing somebody enjoy a cigarette does. I work rotations and have 15 hour days frequently, I don't go for a coffee when tired and just deal with it. Stressful and engaging work is enough to keep me perky.

Good luck to anyone who tries quitting. Try timing it at a time when you can afford to be less productive/sharp if you can. If not, just deal with it.

You cite -one- book that maybe says what you want to think and looks more opinion than science. You write also a quote about politics and there is also that old feeling of "we humans are the worst" in the air that can feel justified but never solved anything.

I have a PhD in biology and frankly I'm sick of discussing this issue each time again and again.

If Omicron is as mild as it initially appeared, we're back to normal by summer 2022. My wild assed guess is that if death rates don't spike by February it will be increasingly difficult for the government and health officials to justify a continuation of current recommendations.

I am triple vaxxed and will happily wear a mask for the rest of my life, but we are in the midst of a slow moving train of economic turmoil brought about by COVID and the resulting decisions(which I'm not arguing with. some were stupid but hindsight is 20/20). We will soon need to get the world back to as normal of a state as we can because we will need the economic benefits. We will need to get our kids back in school and socializing. I know many people are scarred and will not want to emerge from their caves but without compelling justification(such as a new variant which is actually dangerous) we will return to normal soon.
For a lot of us, it wouldn't be a paycut. We're already on the bottom of the salary range. It'd be pure upside for me. I think there's room for both models to exist.

There are provisions for individual large donations to be excluded from the public-support calculation if the charity can make the case that they are "unusual". No idea if that would apply here though.
I see the benefit of Toast (or Make) if you aren't writing your own container and just want to add a couple of things to an existing container (eg a CI pipeline).. but if you are building a container, including them in the Dockerfile makes more sense, no?

In this particular case it looks like the author is reusing the makefiles used from other builds ("you should also be able to build the compiler from source and run it outside of the container") rather than duplicating the work, and she finds makefiles "to be soothing".

Ultimately, unvaccinated cases are irrelevant, until they end up in hospital, which is what's happening right now.
The first thing I could find from Google was an apparently reliable looking fact checking site[0] that pretty explicitly disagrees with this, at least as it pertains to lockdowns in general:

>A study looking at interventions in 11 European countries found that lockdowns and social distancing in the first wave helped lower the reproductive number (R) to below 1 by early May 2020[2]. R measures how many people one infected person will pass the virus on to. When R is above 1, the number of infections can rise exponentially. When R is below 1, the number of infections drops.

>In this study, the scientists developed a model to predict how many people would have died in these 11 countries, if no lockdown measures had been introduced. Comparing the actual number of deaths counted with the number of deaths predicted by their model, in the absence of any interventions, they found that around 3.1 million deaths were averted across these 11 countries from the beginning of the epidemic up until 4 May 2020. Scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 restrictions reduced virus transmission and, by extension, saved lives

I've worked a four day work week in a construction related job for years now. I do 4 10 hour days. I figure the company saves money because they cover site travel time when I'm not in the office. Mostly it's sort of difficult for others to understand I'm not available at all any Friday and weekend rates apply then. A 10 hour day isn't too bad but it's definitely the sort of thing where I'm not really doing anything else those days, work eat and sleep.

The weird thing I run into is I try to schedule things like dental cleanings or tax work etc on Fridays (when I'm off) and I run into all the other people that also take Fridays off.

4 Day work weeks aren't that uncommon.

> Or perhaps it's a matter of personal principle. Personal conscience and conviction used to be held sacred in the US ... to the point that conscientious objectors wouldn't be forced to fight in wars

It's a great argument, so long as "rejecting a vaccine during a pandemic" meets the same moral tests as "opposing war". In fact it does not, and so this "personal principle" is quite silly and actively harmful.

The government has not done anything in mandating vaccination that it has not done, over and over again, with total societal unanimity. Until some people decided there was political hay to be made with a bad, dumb argument about "personal principle" and now tens of thousands of people are dead for no good reason.

It's super dumb, and the "personal principle" argument fails every test you could throw at it.
I've experienced that many times among groups of electrical engineers - we're all fine discussing equations but once its time to plug in the numbers no one wants to volunteer an answer.
I really enjoyed the article actually, and appreciated it being thoughtful about making actual predictions. However, I do think it was a little dismissive of the reckless driving hypothesis and made somewhat of a strawman out of it.

For instance, measuring population recklessness via vaccination rates isn't totally unreasonable, but it does conflate a lot to the point it's extremely questionable. For example, you could make the argument that many people have avoided vaccination precisely because they are extremely not reckless, trying to avoid unknown risks of the vaccines (I'm boostered at this point and would get another dose tomorrow if I could so I don't share this perspective, but it's there).

Your comment is relevant because I'm not sure the reckless driving hypothesis, or the one promoted by the author are really independent. They seem to think reckless driving is something different, but wouldn't lack of constraints from traffic congestion "reveal" reckless driving behavior?

I think you could take the author's same predictions and explain them via recklessness. They seem kind of like two different labels for the same thing at some level.

A more direct test might be to show that e.g., being in an accident during the pandemic was more strongly correlated with past risky driving indicators. E.g., the correlation between DUI history and accident event during the year was stronger during the pandemic. Maybe? It's interesting to think through, and I think important.
No it did not. First, that is a precedent, not a law. Second, that case would be interpreted as affirming the power of a state or municipality to implement and enforce a vaccination mandate, which is exactly what I said in my original comment. The federal government of the US has not been given that power through Jacobson v. Massachusetts and if it was so clear cut a precedent the supreme court wouldn't even bother hearing the case that is currently underway.

EDIT: Getting downvoted so here's the primary holding. Read it for yourself.

> A state may enact a compulsory vaccination law, since the legislature has the discretion to decide whether vaccination is the best way to prevent smallpox and protect public health. The legislature may exempt children from the law without violating the equal protection rights of adults if the law applies equally among adults.
> Nowadays, it's all about interconnecting different microservices just to bootstrap something

What is an example of this?
Omicron is so contagious that its going to burn through regardless of moderate mitigation techniques. NYC went from 1 case to 40,000 in a month. Even if you lock down for 3 months to get back to 0. We'd be back to 40,000 the second we reopened.

Delay isn't worth anything unless hospitals are so bad people will die from preventable deaths.
Except that firewall is bridged by editorial discretion. The myth of the heroic employed journalist punching up and biting the hand that feeds is just that. A myth.

Emacs does blink by default. On the other hand, it is the only piece of software I know with `blink-cursor-blinks` - which is I think 10 by default, I've reduced it to 3 - so the cursor blinks only a couple times and then stops.
I am a gen-x firmly in this camp. I feel I've done my part for nearly 2 years. Unless omicron starts decimating people I'm also pretty much done except for future boosters as recommended by CDC and research. I am burned out. I am hanging out with friends who are in the same boat as me. I will respect masking up with people who want to do that, but that's much more rare these days with friends and family. Life is full of risk and we just have to weight the situation and go from there. For me, currently, that is I don't bother with masks and count on my immune system and vax.
Do I see it correctly that this is basically a direct consequence of not getting proper net neutrality rules?

I think you have that backwards. Asymptomatic infection with likely transmission (plus presyptomatic transmission) was a big characteristic of COVID since day one (and one of the reasons it’s so hard to contain compared to say, Ebola). Research seems to show that vaccinated people have shorter windows of spreading virus, and (at least before omicron variant) were much less likely to have virus in their nose without symptoms.

From a policy perspective, it’s not clear that unvaccinated individuals will stay home with symptoms since some percentage of them seem to think is not real, not a real threat, etc.

Edit: summary article that covers some of this (though keep in mind science is still working through this and each variant changes things) https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/new-data-on-covid-19-trans...

If Apple escalates this into a dirt-flinging war, I don't think any domestic carriers would take offense at reminding the public that Apple is the only one among them that still does business with China. But neither one will escalate things, because both Apple and every US cell carrier have so many skeletons in their closet that trying to call one another out wouldn't just be hypocritical, it would be mutually assured destruction.

It seem that people that quit caffeine and having good effects are the ones drinking 6 cups a day. I’ve quit drinking coffee before but I’m drinking 1-2 cups, and all I got was a 2 day headache maybe less urge to drink it. But the difference have not been very profound

You are doing this wrong. Caffeine pill 100mg (one cup of coffee)
Then take L-Theamine and Magnesium.

L-Theamine is the calming agent in tea. Helps with anxiety and jitters.
Magnesium help with that too.

Would not take straight caffeine again.
Not sure about muesli. In Switzerland we have this option: https://www.ketoshop.ch/collections/konfi-mueesli-aufstriche... but as you can see they are crazy expensive. I tried them once and they definitely taste good, but it is just too much money for me. For my breakfast I go now with natural skyr jogurt with a bit of sweetener blended with a large coffee. And as I mentioned I mostly do intermittent fasting, so I am not super strict about the keto part of the equation.

Great question. The sad fact of the 4 day work week is that the rest of the world doesn't do it, so external support is a challenge. Right now, my co-founder and I try to do any external customer _meetings_ that have to take place on a friday. But for support we have an on-call rotation (like we do for engineering), and that does cover fridays. So, the support on-call person handles friday support requests.

I never understood why people go cold-turkey to get off of the coffee addiction. Simply drink less coffee and gradually lower your intake. You can avoid the absolute misery of the withdrawal symptoms this way.

Drink half your intake for a few days. Then halve that amount again. Soon enough you'll have weaned yourself off caffeine without the disruption.
