The Ladies Vanish?: American Sociology and the Genealogy of Its Missing Women
I should not have written "Vaccines were never expected to stop the pandemic." Vaccines were expected to stop the pandemic.

PRC, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other countries had SARS-CoV-1 in 2003 [0]. It kills 9% of people who catch it, even young people. Their governments performed effective contact tracing and forced quarantining. Everyone in those countries was careful not to catch or spread the disease. It nearly became a pandemic, but the people stopped it.

I hoped that Americans would do the same with SARS-CoV-2 (covid).

Instead, we went half the pandemic without a pandemic expert (epidemiologist) on the National Covid Task Force [1]. Our national leader downplayed the pandemic, refused to be careful not to catch or spread the disease, caught the disease, exposed his political opponents to it during debate, recovered, and consistently undermined and contradicted our national pandemic experts (CDC) [2].

Our government contact tracing programs have been underfunded and ineffective. Only schools performed effective contact tracing. Quarantine is not enforced or even checked. There are no fines or prison time for sick people who go to work or to gatherings and spread the disease.

Many Americans refused to take simple precautions to avoid catching or transmitting the disease. Some places even banned such precautions [3]!

About 20% of adult Americans refused the vaccine [4].

Americans refused to cooperate and achieve herd immunity. Do not blame epidemiologists for telling us what was possible. We should blame callous & incompetent politicians for undermining our medical professionals, blame callous & greedy media companies for targeting medical advice with their anti-establishment dogma, and blame callous & gullible Americans for refusing vaccines and carelessly spreading the disease.

Cities with cooperative people did achieve herd immunity. For example, San Francisco did in 2021-06 [5].

Then Delta and Omicron variants arrived. They break through existing immunity. USA now has 700,000 new cases of Omicron per day [6]. So we should reach herd immunity for Omicron in March. Then the pandemic will be over for us, unless another breakthrough variant arises.

How are you stepping from ‘Apple can see your IP address’ to you should use a VPN company that can see what you’re doing?
No-code is a weird movement, coding is one of those things that don't require a fancy degree, or any education. You can learn it for free from books and websites.

No-code tools are fairly limited as well, they don't give you a lot of autonomy. They are a form of vendor lock-in. I think this movement is being pushed by the companies that make these tools.
A dictatorship is a human cooperation as well and while it technically has an ethical framework it's not exactly a victory of philosophy.
Its a red flag. Happens to one if my friend, where they ask to go through the product document and get on call to discuss.
But eventually found that(after joining) the company was in complete mess, more of co-founder were clearly lacking vision to run the company.
Friend left that company after a year.

My advice would be if you do not any other offer, join. See how things are on the ground and take decision whether to continue after 6-12 months.
“Son, Men Don’t Get Raped” (2014)
In the USA we, too, have a "deep blue fringe" and a "deep green fringe".
‘Starting’ by making ricotta seems a bit odd in that ricotta (like Mysost, as per link above) is made starting from by-products of making other kinds of cheeses in the first place (fresh/sweet whey).

One would imagine starting from something like paneer would be more practical, no rennet needed etc.

Anyway, second the recommendation on trying cheese-making, if anybody is looking for book recommendations, ‘The art of natural cheesemaking’ (David Asher) seems like a good starting point.
The name of the island is, in fact, "Great Britain". "Britain" is a very widely understood name for the country more formally known as "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
IMHO, you don't need to be informed about it. It's tiring how Covid gets mentioned in nearly every conversation, but people just reiterate opinions they heard. What's the value of "discussions" like that? You feel like you understand what's going on, when you really don't.

For me it was a revelation to realize that I don't have to care. Just follow the main regulations and get vaccinated, but don't spend brain cycles on something that you have no impact over.
The photos are definitely taken at very different times: #23 has flowers in the grass that remind me of summer. #27 has bare trees that say winter or late fall/early spring (and the lack of leaves or snow on the ground snow and relatively light garments of the soldier(?) makes me think early spring). Same for #48 and #55. #44 has parasols, indicating summer.
You can’t unless you’re a decent programmer and only when you don’t think you’re 100x yourself

Otherwise it’s insanely hard to measure, bc people will come up with bs about how difficulty, complexity, test coverage, change management, dependencies.

People complain about car maintenance and the plumber, but programmers are worse.. you simply have to believe they’re working on magic… bc, we’ll, you wouldn’t understand right?
I think most on here sympathise with his frustration even if they don't agree with his actions.

The real question is whether you believe as a maintainer you have the right to do whatever you want to your code while in the knowledge that others will run it.

The emphasised part is important. I have zero issue with people writing malicious code purely out of academic curiosity but if you write in with the intention of that code propagating, as this author had done, your actions become far less sympathetic.
> Python bindings let you connect Python functions to your sqlite3 instance, so you can call them from SQL

I think the idea is calling python functions from SQL to check 'matched letter in wrong place'.
> All dependencies sources must be included with project sources.

This sounds great for applications. But for libraries, you'll likely end up with the diamond dependency problem: an application uses two libraries, and each library uses their own copy of a third library.
This is a fundamental issue with the ad business - the ads are selected from those who bid, not from those that are relevant. For example - if I'm listening to a podcast with a captivating guest, the relevant links would point to their books or blogs. But since they didn't bid for ads, I'm shown some crypto drivel or date-Thai girls scams
Isn't maintaining the slot more about making sure there's a plane in the right place at the right time if somebody wants to buy a ticket on a scheduled flight at the last minute? A bus wouldn't change route because it was empty. There might be somebody at the next stop.

A large airline could probably manage this better but if a smaller airline (city hoppers, especially) sacked off empty flights, they might not have the inventory or pilots to manage future legs.

I'm not arguing against action. The current situation is ludicrous.
Didn't say that "nobody has access" - only explicitly authorised people do. In addition log data is often stored and indexed in a central location. Access to that data also requires authorization.

Does this clarifies things?
In a non-healthcare setting the lifespan of an N95 is way longer than 8 hours perhaps 30-40.

Generally the idea is to get a new one when it becomes noticeably harder to breath.

Generally for COVID use, as opposed to say, construction, I find the mask will physically fail (e.g strap breaks or stretches too much, nose foam detaches) before the filter media is close to being used up.
Do you think ancient implies a different species or what? Some tech is very old.
I'm curious, why go through the hassle of a VPN rather than another search engine? Are the other results so poor or do the others do the same as Google?
There was a saying that almost anyone that runs a central bank has never run even a small commercial bank before...
> And that's why it is.

What on earth are you talking about? I’m making fundamental statement about accountability, you can’t allow companies to outsource their data protections responsibilities, because history has shown time and time again, if let companies outsource responsibilities, they’ll outsource it to someone who just ignores the law and provides a fig to protect execs.

> Because it didn't take into account how companies work in practice.

The whole point of GDPR is to prevent shitty business practices, not enable them. How companies work in practice is most irrelevant, GDPR protects people, not companies.

> A SaaS company has both individuals as well as organisation as customers and thus operates as a data controller and data processor.

Yes, so what?

> Reality is that you can't ask each individual company to sign a document for each new subprocessor or data processing agreement modifications.

Yes you can. If your customer has given you explicit instructions on how they want their data processed, in the form of a data processing agreement, then you’re contractually bound to that agreement. You want to change it, the you need to ask all your customers. You can’t unilaterally just start doing something new with data you’ve been given because you feel like it. Otherwise what prevents you from just deciding that selling all the data your customers gave you is how you now handle their data?

I don’t know you find this so difficult to understand. Your not even taking issue with something unique to GDPR. Modern day slavery laws work in a similar manner, so does financial regulation, so does any contract where you customer gives you instructions, and you want to modify those instructions. Companies update their T&Cs and force customers to explicitly accept the new one all the time, this is not a new concept.
They own the sites, they are allowed to get rid of some fuckwit.
Mine, apparently. I don't have any particular connection to Norse mythology afaict, but I've encountered the term "Yggdrasil" at least half a dozen time just surfing on the net.
Of course, both notions deserve credits:

- performativity was identified by John Langshaw Austin
People would need to buy iPhones from Apple and then replace the SIM cards themselves.

I mean, why isn't this already a thing? This isn't difficult at all. I don't buy my phone from my carrier. When I get a new phone, I simply take the old sim out and put it in the new one. The last time I had to do more was when the phones changed from a standard SIM to a mini SIM - the old one wouldn't physically fit. That was some years ago, though.

I'd think the bigger issue might be with the US phone networks: Do they still force you to use your phone with the carrier even though this isn't necessary at all? And if so, why haven't folks protested since it is obviously a way to trap people into one carrier.

Also, since folks in non-US countries can just buy a phone and put a sim card in, Apple won't have any issues adjusting whatsoever.
I love cheese making (made a few goudas by now), and cannot recommend it enough. It’s basically edible chemistry. Fun, challenging, and delicious.
The two above comments are as true as each other.
Taiwan is the leftover of the fascist faction, is it not? Not exactly a paragon of Chinese cultural history. We're just looking at a very, very slow civil war.
I'm also very skeptical of all things crypto but you did mention principles and I think there is an angle of mobile coin that is clearly ideological and very much fits into Moxie's reputation.

That is to take the transfer of money away from old and large institutions.
That's why they're making all of the cash money plastic, so these billionaires can stop accidently laundering their money. Genius!
Having lived 4 blocks from a hospital, it's not the ambulances, it's the helicopters. The house had no air conditioning so it was a choice between sweltering plus barely being able to hear a conversation every 20 minutes vs. not being able to hear a conversation at all or even the TV at max volume.

Scientifically that shit is really bad for you, even when you can tune it out. There is a huge correlation with noise (especially during sleep) and cortisol levels among many other things -- it's a massive unmeasured externality (with cars being the primary cause).

Same goes for airports (but even more true of motorcycle dickheads, coal rollers and ricers which are almost always violating vehicle codes but never see enforcement).

That said, NIMBYism isn't the solution. Far better for something along the lines of noise level based zoning, and require whatever project(s) are responsible for noise pollution to pay into a fund that provides building code enforced sound insulation and climate control upgrades as well as compensation for loss of amenity to anyone that gets rezoned (or can prove ambient noise exceeds their zone).
I just don`t do it. One could use a service in between, which opens up pay-walled content. But for me it`s not worth the hassle.
Even if I`m loosing high quality content ... which is only available on one site.

I blacklist "bad" sites that don`t care about freedom or sites that just make life harder for the reader. Like unnecessary advertisement, binding the core functionality to cookies and/or javascript, being not international, copying from other sites ... those criteria can sum up to a overall bad user experience. Those criteria are only "bad" for me in the context of news and blog sites.
Interesting article. I'd never heard of this concept before and thought "That sounds trivial" until I started to read the article. I must admit though, I gave up halfway through when the C code got too esoteric for me to follow. But still feel I've learned something new today.

The article title seems a bit off though. When I read 'Self-Replicating Programs' [sic] it I immediately thought "Worms" but the article actually refers to programmes which can print out their own source code listing. Which seems to me to be a different challenge.
That appears to be (a) unintentional, which is a critical distinction (b) 7 years ago and (c) if the comments section is to be believed, resolved by calling Google up, explaining the situation and receiving a complementary warranty extension.

To their credit they stood behind it. Mine was repaired, FREE (October 2015)

The delay was, more than likely, simply that big companies move slow. This is not the same thing.
That means they have to put staff on all flights. I'm sure someone did the calculation and what they do today was the most cost effective.
or, you know, you could just paste this into the javascript console.

Dog = carnivore domesticated as ally(superior smell/high speed etc)

Cow = herbivore domesticated for milk/meat

Eating dogs is terribly inefficient since they are carnivores. Seems fairly obvious that hunter gathers wouldn't have typically done this, and that it is a recent thing in regions that had famines & excess stray dogs.
Something trans related maybe? Dunno. Woke movie making is super annoying but I didn't get any of that from the new Matrix. Maybe because all the characters were chosen in 1999 before CRT took off, maybe because it just wasn't necessary. As a kid Morpheus/Fishburne was perhaps the coolest black man I'd ever seen, the casting was perfect. The man managed to somehow carry off both radiating gravitas and also this almost child-like naivety and belief in Neo.

The new Morpheus was just nothing. What a waste. Really, the casting in the original was one of the things that made it. Agent Smith, the Architect, each of these actors looked and sounded like their character. The casting in the new Matrix was just all over the place. Never did care for Trinity though.
That's a subtle antichrist attitude, falling in line with Judas' anger at Christ being given expensive ointment, saying it could have been sold and the proceeds distributed to the poor. It is to try to use good principles to spite the very Truth that the good principles are derived from in the first place. Moral actions need to point towards that transcendent - that's why I need to follow my religious convictions first, and any aid given to those in need along the way are good works oriented properly. There is no aimless good, no worthy history made independent of the identity of Truth. That's why I am so encouraged by the martyrs of the colosseum, of course, and the end effects of their actions was that the colosseum eventually got shut down and no criminals or gladiators were tortured there anymore, as you correctly said. Believer and nonbeliever alike can be raised up by the efforts of those of faith, and we don't have to live in scorn for each other.
NPM is pretty bad at this. It frustrates me to no end every time I have to use it. It manages to do everything exactly wrong, especially in comparison to the other package manager I use daily: Composer. That one does everything right.
What are the elements of "Chinese culture" that persist in Taiwan and were eliminated in Mainland China?
To bring this problem into our kitchen, last summer my fiancee and I block-painted 100 colored and symboled canvases to manipulate around on a 10x10 grid of pegs on our wall[0]

The first solution to this 10x10 version was discovered in 1959, and Euler died believing it impossible... so our most likely expectation is that we won't find the solution in our lifetimes. Still, it's fun to solve progressively bigger sub-puzzles on the grid, and it's nice to always have a nut too tough to crack in your life.

I've set aside this paper to read tomorrow. Naturally, the quantum solutions are not valid on our kitchen wall!

If it's a community of folks who release open source projects, see their success, then throw tantrums I mean, that doesn't sound like a loss to me. I'm happy that y'all were able to build a community on common foundations and I wish you the best of luck!
Completely agree, and I don't have an answer to that. However, all of that goes out the window if your macbook starts throttling. I don't doubt that an m1 chip with adequate cooling will outperform an x86 one, but at that point you're not on a laptop anymore

They measured it by the number of Jira tasks moved to "done".

The problem is, nobody is asking if those Jira tasks could have been avoided, or be a lot smaller if we were working on a more productive stack.

At the end of the day product managers get used to everything taking a lot of time and assume that's the only way (which, to be honest, in this context it is... as reached this point it is very difficult to go back).

And also, when productivity was discussed... there was always someone suggesting the problem was the current "legacy" stack (i.e. React, Elixir) and that we should instead move to this other new stack to be more productive (Go, Svelte) and there we go again...
I once interpreted for a crew recording "man on the street" interviews. I had no experience working in TV, I was a last minute replacement.

At the beginning of the day, the producer listed the opinions he wanted to get. "Ok, we'll get a middle aged guy who says this, a younger couple saying something along these lines". He knew exactly what he wanted at the start of the day.

There were three camera crews working most of the day getting interviews. I get the feeling that with a bit of editing you could have make "the public" have pretty much any view on a topic that you want.
Obviously I have more than a basic understanding of English. The whole issue with this thread is that I accidentally miswrote a sentence and even after understanding the context someone found it the necessary to point that I made a mistake. The whole point of language is to communicate your ideas. If you understand what I am saying then the point of writing the sentence is accomplished. Instead deciding to focus on the syntax or grammar or whatever is just missing the whole picture.
Time for my favorite Game of Thrones quote:

> Jon Snow: What did father use to say? Everything before the word "but" is horse sh|t.

"I would support something like this [...] but fortunately it's only theoretical, because there are enough NIMBYs to make sure it has no chance of actually happening"

But I know the feeling, that was me one year ago: "I would love to get a Covid vaccine right away, but (fortunately) there are people with higher priorities who have to get it (and field test it) first". But I have to mention that I did get vaccinated eventually...
The nobleman Ankhhaf, mentioned in these texts and described the article as the ostensible project manager of the pyramid at Giza, was the subject of a truly remarkable bust:

> Is it really so refreshing that they get away with breaking regulations, seemingly without any sort of penalty?

It doesn’t appear that they’re getting away with anything? It’s the first offence, so they get a reasonable period to address the issue and fix things. Give them not enough time and they complain about the regulators being unreasonable.

And it’s certainly refreshing compared to what happens in other America or Australia which is “basically nothing”.

The KMT ("blues"; historical ruling party of Taiwan, and main opposition to the CCP during the civil war) was indeed an authoritarian party; Taiwan was a dictatorship until 1996, under the guise of "martial law to prepare for invading the mainland". However, they are not officially "fascists", but "republicans".

Since then, they have been a democratic country mostly governed by the DPP ("greens"; formerly an anti-authoritarian dissident movement), which also leads the Taiwan independence movement, which aims at creating a "Republic of Taiwan" rather than a "Republic of China".
Medical science was far less competitive back then, and more based on status. Nice anecdote, though.
