We bought our previous car from a guy who did just that. He loved cars, so he bought them, drove them for 6-9 months and sold them. Yes he took a huge loss, but it was his hobby.

A couple we know bought one of the new Morris Mini's a few years back, and one month later they discovered they were having a kid. The Mini isn't the most practical vehicle for a new family, so they sold it and bought something else before the kid was born.

We just got our car totalled and we were not prepared to get a new car just yet. We might be getting a larger garage this year which would allow us to park ID.4/Ioniq 5 sized vehicles in it, so timing wasn't awesome. So we bought an second-hand vehicle which we plan to sell within a year.

Things happen.

I guess maybe I mean human race threatening? Civil war isn't going to wipe humans out completely I suppose.

To answer the parents question though what does it take, well of course if people are seeing their neighbors bleed out of their eyes everyone is going to sign up for vaccines even if the vaccine could possibly kill you.

This is a common misconception
I did something similar years ago but for different reasons: I suffered from Migraine headaches since age 17, am intolerant to the most effective medications for alleviating the pain and found that caffeine was one of the few things that could reduce the pain I experienced.

At age 17, I had a trip to the ER thinking I was dying -- worst headache of my life up to that point. It subsided during my stay and several tests later, any major problems were ruled out. I was not a regular caffeine drinker at that time, and caffeine has never caused Migraine headaches[0] for me. Over a few years of early mornings/jobs, I started drinking coffee regularly to be sharp/awake and experienced many of the same problems as the author. The biggest problem, though, was that I had become tolerant to the most effective medication (for me) to eliminate my headaches.

I would not advise quitting cold turkey. It sucks. The headaches are intense, but not Migraine[0]. After doing that for a few days, I took a different approach -- to replace my coffee consumption with decaffeinated coffee. At the time (I'm not sure if this is still true), decaffeinated did not mean caffeine free. It had just enough to ween me off of caffeine, while keeping my routine the same for a month. The dull headaches were manageable with a single Ibuprofen when they were the worst, but often required nothing at all. At the end of a month, the beans sat unused.

I treated caffeine as a medication from that point forward. I kept a container of beans in the freezer and would brew up a cup of coffee any time Migraine reared its ugly head. It took about a cup and my symptoms would be reduced -- sometimes remaining there until the headache passed. I've since found a prescription which prevents Migraine entirely, for me and have resumed coffee drinking, but limit it to a single cup a day and not daily -- just when I'm feeling "dull", mentally. But I have to be careful -- the jitters are very strong after the second cup and end up turning that sharpness into anxiety at times.

[0] I think people misstate a "bad headache" as a Migraine headache. I get different kinds of headaches, Migraine is very distinct to me, including auras and other symptoms that otherwise awful headaches do not. They also barely respond to common OTC medications, so I don't bother with them when I know it's a migraine.
The key here is that Ford can just say "no sale" if you decline to accept the offer; someone else will be willing to buy it under those conditions.
congrats, you're doing it right. For some people it becomes a necessity, and for others it disrupts sleep (even if they won't admit it to themselves or others).
I think if this pandemic struck in the 70s or 80s, it would have been shook off as a moderately more dangerous version of the flu, and there would have been no lockdowns or anything like that. Life would go on as normal until natural herd immunity is achieved.
I see. Yea, I mean the only answer that really makes sense is "when it's over"--by some arguable definition of over. If they say "Well, I'll deal with it for 3 years but on year 4, that's it--I'm just going to give up, and pretend it's over." then I would: a) question where they got that number 4--what it's based on, and b) ask, if you're willing to ignore reality and just pretend it's over, why not just start pretending now?
Of course, the odds of this are extremely small. It's just more to show that Apple has more leverage than the carriers in this situation.

Edit: Another, "smarter" tactic that Apple might use is by sending messages to the Board of Directors. If Apple can get the Board of Directors on their side (or at least convince them that management is fighting a war they can't win)... another way to freak out execs at the carriers.
The OS should be able to distinguish between a corporate network and mobile carrier, right?
> The next generation in vaccine technology is the US Army / Walter Reed Medical Center broad-spectrum vaccine. This should protect against all COVID and SARS variants.[3] That's in Phase I safety testing, with about 75 volunteers. If that works, the problem is solved.

Sure, until the next variant.

The problem of the spread was mostly solved by vaccines before Omicron, at least for people who got the vaccines. Then Omicron came along and it can break through the vaccines much easier than Delta or other variants.

If we develop a vaccine for Omicron, some other variant is likely to come along and break through that vaccine too. Omicron was far more mutated than Delta. Are we just supposed to hope that doesn't happen again? Is is possible for a vaccine to protect against all possible future variants?

We can't keep a state of emergency in place and wait for one new vaccine, after another, endlessly. When does it end?

Let's say we do have a magic bullet vaccine that protects against all present variants, and all possible future variants: wouldn't a significant number of people refuse to take it, as they have refused to take the vaccines we have now?

Is the idea here that invasive species cannot thrive in non-human-made environments? That is, environments we didn’t create?
I will eat my hat if Apple doesn't enter the ad market big-time in a couple of years. All the signs point to them building a massive privacy-invading trove of data on their customers to exploit.

Of course, their PR will spin it up as "privacy focused, totally anonymous, personalized advertisement" and some will just gobble that up as gospel.

I don't trust any of these fuckers any more... :)
This sounds like a bad policy on the nursery's part. We have a soft lockdown when somebody has a case: basically, the group who had a positive test is secluded from the other groups and get daily tests.
? Consider that SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to increase risk for newly diagnosed diabetes in children: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7102e2.htm

It's clearly a very systemic disease affecting almost all organs and long term effects are impossible to tell right now (as opposed to the vaccine btw which cannot by definition create random effects some years later).

How does anything he does from here on out have any consequence on other people's decisions?

Did you just entirely dismiss what he said about catching it?

It is not his responsibility to protect you or anyone else. YOU can stay home and isolate if you can't handle being out. Stop putting your burden on everyone else. You (and your ilk) have no right to demand protection from others while putting yourself in harms way.

"I can't handle my own health anxiety so I'm going to make sure everyone makes ME feel better regardless of how it affects their lives"

You're the selfish one in this situation.
That seems like a silly reason -- there are lots more perfectly reasonable legal/security reasons to not have "early access" though.
We (bit.io) do a 4 day work week, and have since our founding. It's the 32-hours get paid for 40-hours kinda; our salaries are competitive with companies of the same stage & size who do a 40-hour work week.

I was skeptical at first (I'm the CEO), but my co-founder showed me the data and we've been doing it since the start with no regrets. Happy to answer any practical questions; we're about 10 full time folks right now, work monday-thursday, all remote.

Could you give more examples of this effort to "remove gender" from language? Both the examples you give, I think, are not replacing words, just preferring more ambiguous words that don't assume a gender. I don't think these things should be political or really all that controversial. The examples you give also do (edit) NOT parallel the same issue with grammatical gender in another language, as we are simply talking about two or three different nouns, not their noun class.
How do you think we got Killer Croc?
No, they don't need to know your policy at all. They only need the "I am not here..." message regardless of how many times you use it.
Even a friendly fundraising round is a big time sink. This lets early-stage startups focus their energy on building rather than fundraising, especially for harder tech. $500k is enough to feel like you can do anything, but not so much that you don't have to.
This comment could be written by me a year ago. Only when I drove my caffeine consumption to zero for a whole week (no coffee, no tea, no coke..) I had this massive headache. I am now back to one or two cups of coffee per day, which I enjoy much more.
Yeah, I've grown up hearing constantly how good our (Canada) health care is. The reality is less than stellar. There are so, so many stories from literally everyone in my family of just straight up negligence and permanent adverse effects of malpractice.

My friend's mom lost her legs because the hospital didn't keep her in the right position after a surgery and circulation was cut off while she was recovering from the surgery. Huge lawsuit, but that doesn't take back the irreversible damage and lifelong disability.

Recently a doctor lied to our face and said there's no alternative to surgery, then lied to our face again when he said "that medication doesn't work for that", until we cited multiple studies and how the medication is used worldwide for the purpose we are asking for. It's just disgusting and unacceptable.

Also recently another family member nearly died in hospital as they let his weight get down to ~80lbs. They incorrectly thought he had cancer (he didn't), and they were just going to let him die because his time was limited, suggesting to the family not to bother with a feeding tube. The family insisting on trying the feeding tube saved his life, _against_ the suggestions of the doctor(s). He would be dead right now, and a family would have lost their dad, if they hadn't insisted on doing it. I'm pushing the family to sue the hospital and report this malpractice because his health is so badly harmed by having gone to such a low weight and nearly dying from it.

Honestly I can just go on all day. When I got in a car accident my broken wrist/finger were secured in place with a fucking tongue depressor and some gauze. This was the official solution because they didn't have time to put my wrist in a cast, so I went numerous days with this ridiculous solution, reducing the quality of my bone/joint healing. My pinky finger is still, forever, crooked. Really nice for someone whose career requires typing (programmer).

Similarly, another family member of mine has a permanently-deformed arm because they didn't cast the arm correctly and the bone healed crooked.
I've seen a few large tech companies where internal "bookmarks" where all just shortlinks you had to remember (using golinks.io or another internal config).

So for example http://go/project-X, go/JIRA-123, go/team, go/team/oncall. References to the links were scattered across dozens of documentation pages and you just got used to that state over time. I always thought that a proper bookmarking system would do wonders for onboarding and documentation (by forcing people to maintain organisation if they wanted to use the links).
The precedent doesn't apply. The SCOTUS interpreted (and in effect, defined) that the "authorized access" in 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2) can't be qualified and limited to less access. If I'm authorized to see usernames, and due to light hacking I can also see emails - I'm n̵o̵t̵ ̵a̵ ̵c̵r̵i̵m̵i̵n̵a̵l̵ maybe a criminal (EDITED). If I'm authorized to check license plates for some reasons, and despite employer policy I checked license plates for some other reasons - I'm not a criminal.

The issue we're discussing here is based on 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5) (note the last digit) and "authorized access" is not mentioned there at all. This section deals with damage and not access.

Of course, short term contractors are ideal for overflow work. My point is that I try not to rely on part time contractors over the long term because their availability can change.
You mention getting numbers as you walk around town, what kind of rates do you charge if this converts into a gig?
How is it so hard for you people to understand that we shut down society because the health system is stressed at unforeseen levels? I mean just ask your fellow emergency workers how their life is right now.
Hm, if I know the dimensions I want, then I find typing in the actual numbers far easier/more comfortable than the pinch gesture, as the latter is inaccurate and kind of uncooperative. I don't find typing on mobile “awful” at all.
> No. If you prefer MIT lectures over Khan Academy, then why not watch MIT lectures to learn whatever you want from Brilliant?

I plan to do that, I just want exercises. I don't have the space in my life to do exercises from a textbook with pencil and paper right now, so I just wanted something easy to make sure I'm not totally off.
No, it wouldn't. They'd still have the ability to throttle individual phones generating lots of traffic.
> I think your calculation of car sizes is a bit wide. I think most cars in the US are around 6 feet wide.

You're not including mirrors in the width of the vehicle. Typical exterior mirrors on passenger vehicles extend out about 6 inches from the body, so that adds a foot to the vehicle's width. My VW Golf Sportwagen is about 7 feet wide mirror to mirror. My Honda Odyssey is about 7.5 feet wide mirror to mirror. I've measured both vehicles by dropping a string from the edge of the mirror housing down to the ground, and marking it on both sides and measuring the distance between the marks. Take a look at the interactive graphic towards the bottom of the page by Cycling Savvy[1]

Commercial vehicles like tractor trailers and buses are 8.5 feet wide at the body. Their mirrors extend out further, meaning that they're close to 10.5 feet wide mirror to mirror.

> It looked for a while there like this could be a thing that gets “done”—that we would get a good vaccine into enough people, then incidence would decline so far it just goes away.

Coronaviruses in general are endemic to humans, and SARS-CoV-2 in particular appears to infect animals. Even if at some point no humans carried the disease, it'd still come back from some cross-species transmission. The only "done" state I ever expected is/was the same situation we have with influenza -- annual vaccine and seasonal waves of illness.
The last 5 textbooks I bought new on amazon had similar problems. Totally unacceptable. I started returning them and (because most were exclusive to amazon) started buying them new on ebay with great results.
> But I don't get to ask eigenvectors and challenging algorithm problems in an ML Engineering position at the same while you already proof yourself with a Masters Degree and enough professional experience.

People know pity passes exist for Master's degrees. You can't trust that someone actually knows what they should know just because they have a degree. Ditto professional experience. The entire reason FizzBuzz exists is because people with years of profesional experience can't program.
I don't even know what a 'cishet' is, and I have no desire to learn.

If one was of the belief that a vaccine needs to be either 100% or it's worthless, yes, that's the sort of assumption you might come to. Things are slightly more nuanced.
This is basically what Netflix did. They launched fast.com, which comes off the same servers as Netflix video. The whole goal was to get people to call their ISP and complain they aren't getting the speeds they paid for and getting them to unthrottle Netflix.
Every single digital transaction visa VISA/MC etc. is taking 2-3% off the top.

That's ridiculous.

Those fee structures were designed for an alternate universe.

It made sense in 1970 - not on the internet today.

If we invented an 'interbank exchange' scheme today, which would probably include some decent form of identity management, it could operate at less than 1/10th of that fee.

The entire industry, which is controlled by the banks, is pure incumbency.

Not only is there value lost to that tax, but that network holds transactions back to some extent.

The real economic value of crypto is there, not in the current form of deflationary shenanigans.
The original Latinx idea came from Latino/a non-binary people. The -x suffix is also being pushed in some Latin American countries, like Argentina, by a minority.

Also note that Latino is an American English word now, and it makes sense that it'd evolve on its own independent of the original word in Spanish.
For reference, my company was only able to raise 10k at our demo day with a 6M Cap in 2018. This deal would have kept my cofounder and I from maxing out our credit cards & sleeping on our office floor for a year.

I seriously question that. Are there some? Sure. A significant portion? Barring evidence, no.
They can easily use the pretext of excessive energy use, but it would be in line with general authoritarian reasons of control over money.
>the iPhone was AT&T exclusive for a long time at the beginning.

I think that was a very different time though. Smartphones were just becoming popular. A lot of other upcoming smartphones also had carrier exclusives at that time (Verizon with the Droid line). I don't know if that would be acceptable in today's world.

A joint move like that by the carriers would be subject to a lot of antitrust scrutiny, where as apple can move on it's own with a lot less scrutiny.
I feel like many or most places already have the "be cool late Friday" mindset. Emergencies or critical things can still happen, but if possible maybe don't schedule a long meeting end of day Friday. Don't ask for something that needs turn around after the morning as people already are going to likely be in a wrap-up mode. It always feels like a very implicit "can this wait till Monday?" attitude permeates the day. And it's not just being nice, splitting a task over a weekend can lead to things being forgotten or missed or just the context being lost. Hell, I've seen places operate more in a "be cool all of Friday, it's the pseudo-weekend".

All that is a long way of saying that that group feeling now exists a whole day before and it's important to communicate that.
So are you saying we should listen to the anecdotes of those who died from getting the vaccine?
> In Iceland, surnames use the fathers firstname and sson for son and dotir for daughter, to highlight the relationship in an otherwise small community.

The same happens in most Slavic ("Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin" is basically "Vladimir son of Vladimir Putin"; a hypothetical sister could have been "Ekaterina Vladimirova Putina", Ekaterina daughter of Vladimir Putin) and some Turkic cultures (Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev is the son of Abish Nazarbayev), so the theory that this is related to tight nit communities on a small island seems highly unlikely.
The parent comment kind of came off as "why are you worrying and not more optimistic, my kids are fine" which seems like a dismissive way to respond to someone's worries about their own kids.
We did, briefly, under Obama. More recently, the previous administration unwound those rules.

More technically: NN was implemented via the existing authority of the FCC, rather than any new law. Then the FCC, under new leadership, decided that internet service was outside of that authority, actually, and dropped that enforcement. Under Biden, there has been no change back in the other direction. (And at no point has there been a separate, federal law.)
That's really strange. Are you on an old grandfathered plan of some sort? It has to be either that or a bug, because it's pretty clear that Verizon is not blocking Private Relay in any large scale manner.
It's also really amazing at dividing lower/working classes into two groups. Which makes it much harder for them to band together and push for a change in how the country treats the poorest majority.
"are getting enormously fed up of having restrictions placed on our lives which, to a non-trivial extent, are being propagated as a result of people who are spreading misinformation and choosing not to get vaccinated" I am assuming you are a tech worker and can find a remote job. Just move somewhere with no restrictions. There are essentially zero restrictions in states like Florida or Texas. I live in one of those states and aside from maybe 35% of people voluntarily wearing masks there are few signs of the pandemic. I am not denying that people are getting sick I'm just saying that if you dont want to deal with the restrictions then there are options.
I've heard Latine used.
Thanks for everything, Moxie!

I'm sure you don't remember this story, but I remember years ago (2011?) having a drink with you and Stuart while we were working out of I/O Ventures. I was talking about buying a cheap sail boat and you very calmly told me that the ocean will kill me. That it was always trying to kill me.

Anyway, I think about that conversation nearly every time I'm in or on the water and it's definitely kept me alive.
