I think this is great advice, since the first few years of my tax career were spent helping people deal with all the crap that CPAs got them into.

CPAs are good at math and accounting and generally quite bad at reading and applying the law. Use a CPA for your tax filings, and use a tax lawyer for anything that involves complexity. Tax law is administrative law, so a lot of things that would apply to criminal law doesn't apply (for example, tax strategies can retroactively be deemed illegal, taxpayers can be penalized for violating the spirit of the rules despite adhering to the text of the rules, etc.).

>but your decision making process was not informed by information or probabilities in any way.

That's exactly what it is and will be informed by, and that information right now is zero. There's no evidence to support the hypothesis' conclusion, therefore I reject the hypothesis at present. That's not always going to be the case.

It's in no way comparable to conspiracy theories because it's a falsifiable premise. Statistical significance can and will exist about the long term safety eventually. The question at hand is very easily quantifiable and qualifiable: are mRNA vaccines safe in the long term and relative to the risks of the afflictions they target? The current answer is: there is no evidence supporting that they are, therefore the reasonable, rational, and scientific thing to do is maintain the baseline until sufficient evidence exists.

Yeah maybe something can go wrong in 20 years in one person. That's not the argument I'm making. I'm arguing that we don't know what could go wrong or what the probability something can go wrong is in the long term because the data literally just doesn't exist you're trying to argue that we should just assume that the probability of something going wrong is already established as infinitesimally small. That's irrational and antiscientific. It's not established at all that's my entire point. The data will exist eventually, we are not stuck in this permanent state of ignorance.
I have always assumed those numbers are fudged, and included marketing.

I don't really know much about the industry, or what it take to make a film like this, but $100m is enough to pay 1000 people 100k. Did this film take that many people, that long to make?

I would imagine CGI is reducing a lot of expensive things (like blowing up aircraft, and expensive location shoots).
All the talk about sequels and creativity or lack thereof upthread made me remember- has anyone watched the WB movie Reminiscence that came out last year, also on HBO Max?

The trailer looked very promising, a nice sci-fi noir dealing with memory and identity, but the reviews for it have been horrid. So much for Hollywood trying new ideas.
We went to Pacific City a few months ago and ended up in a bar that had some huge "thin blue line" flags hanging inside. Got into a conversation with a guy who seemed to be a nice old pot-smoking hippie who'd moved out there to grow weed. Until about halfway through the conversation he started asserting that the "storm" was coming and Trump was the real president, and Biden was probably already in jail, and we'd just wait and see, any day now.

Personally, I prefer Astoria. No beach, but it's a cooler vibe.

[edit] Just to add, I have a (non-Jewish) uncle who retired to Coos Bay. He's become one of the most extremist and racist people I've ever met, in addition to being a hardcore anti-vaxer. He wasn't like that when I was a kid. Living in that environment changed him radically for the worse.

re: the accountant, I left. I wrote her an email explaining why I couldn't work with her. She apologized and said she didn't realize what it was, that it was a gift from her daughter, something about their Finnish heritage, and it was supposed to be horse heads. I found a nice Jewish guy to do my taxes.
Oh yeah, that’s entirely believable…

It's probably good to have a dialogue about it, and you should note the person's ethnicity as well.

Try Google imaging "hindu lucky symbol." I'm not entirely convinced that a people should be forced to entirely give up on a symbol they were using first, before it got misappropriated.
How about The Truman Show?
The parent did say “targeted to a country you do [understand]”. The impression I get is that for most address handling the only thing that’s critical to have structured is the country; probably everything else should be free-text until you have a reason not to[1], at which point you should find someone who deals with them for a living (probably a third-party provider), and even then it's probably best to provide a fallback for the weird edge cases.

[1]: One good reason is that, as you say, people get things wrong—even their own address—on a regular basis, and you may be charged more money if you’re e.g. shipping things with the wrong postal code for the rest of the address. But even then it’s good to provide a workaround if necessary; post office databases can be wrong too!
I rewatched the original recently and that dialogue is not exactly a strong point either. Really devoid of subtly or even the barest hint of humor. A pretty unbelievable amount of exposition, telling rather than showing.

I think I looked past it when it came out because I was a kid, and the world building was interesting to me.

If bodily autonomy isn't that import rape only lasts 10 minutes so what's the harm? Nope, it's of primary importance.

Lose some weight and keep your D levels high, get vaccinated if you chose, and stop demanding that everyone engage in risky or unnecessary performative behavior to create an illusion of safety.

If you publish software you have responsibilities and no "provided as-is" clause can fully free you from it. Especially if you do so with the intention to cause harm.

The problem is not to "rust random 3rd-party code on the internet" but the "blindly" part.

Like never ever deploy without locking dependencies and testing any new dependencies before updating the lock and preferable even give the changes/diff a shallow review.

I think anyone providing programs (instead of libs) installed though npm (or "blind" untested CI builds for releases) is as much a problem as the one who caused the problems this time. Maybe even more as they also open the door for other more malicious attacks.
Why though? In India, we somehow have this obsession about English. Some Indians think speaking English make them a better person than a regular Indian. Indian speaking in a western accent is considered by some as superior than an Indian accent one. Indians make fun of each other for their accents, their lack of English knowledge etc. Why it has to be that way? Its just a language, that too a foreign one.

Yes it is - and thus the data guide ( https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html )

> A report to VAERS generally does not prove that the identified vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described. It only confirms that the reported event occurred sometime after vaccine was given. No proof that the event was caused by the vaccine is required in order for VAERS to accept the report. VAERS accepts all reports without judging whether the event was caused by the vaccine.

(crunching some data... Death... Death of pet is listed as one of them? well... ok)

And just looking at that data its... self reported. For example, running it for the current vaccines there's one death reported for a person under 6 months old which is rather surprising since it's not authorized for that age range.

Anyways, the thing is that doing the "simple" query on this shows that 2,694 age 80+ died after receiving the vaccine. That needs to be calibrated against the question of "how many people aged 80+ would die in that time range without either covid or the vaccine being present?"

And that is exactly the problem that you're describing.

The key thing is its there and if people want to approach the data using the proper statistical rigor... the data is there.

> Bob Wachter of UCSF had a very good thread on Twitter about vaccine rollouts the other day, and one of the good points he made was this one. We're talking about treating very, very large populations, which means that you're going to see the usual run of mortality and morbidity that you see across large samples. Specifically, if you take 10 million people and just wave your hand back and forth over their upper arms, in the next two months you would expect to see about 4,000 heart attacks. About 4,000 strokes. Over 9,000 new diagnoses of cancer. And about 14,000 of that ten million will die, out of usual all-causes mortality. No one would notice. That's how many people die and get sick anyway.

> But if you took those ten million people and gave them a new vaccine instead, there's a real danger that those heart attacks, cancer diagnoses, and deaths will be attributed to the vaccine. I mean, if you reach a large enough population, you are literally going to have cases where someone gets the vaccine and drops dead the next day (just as they would have if they didn't get the vaccine). It could prove difficult to convince that person's friends and relatives of that lack of connection, though. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is one of the most powerful fallacies of human logic, and we're not going to get rid of it any time soon. Especially when it comes to vaccines. The best we can do, I think, is to try to get the word out in advance. Let people know that such things are going to happen, because people get sick and die constantly in this world. The key will be whether they are getting sick or dying at a noticeably higher rate once they have been vaccinated.

No, I apply legal to both. Payment is not required and breaking it intentionally to do harm is illegal. Intent matters.
I once installed an operating system from a CD-ROM which I later learned through an Internet forum that I could have downloaded from a mirror FTP site and loaded as an .iso into the flash memory of a USB drive for LiveUSB testing of the Linux distro, a new flavor of Ubuntu.

Out of the 52 words in this last sentence, 22 of them were new or adaptations, commonly through prescriptivism, and a common enough list of words that one can find each of them commonly used on the forum you're reading.

I conclude that your assertion that "prescriptivism rarely creates useful linguistic evolution" is wrong. While I doubt Facebook will shut down to honor the "not sharing intimate non-consensual photos" policy (as it should... as it shares data including photos without informed consent [EULA doesn't count in my personal view]), they aren't wrong to call out the common terminology doesn't work for setting a policy as it is too vague.

Have a good day.
I actually quite liked the expansion on the lore and mythology of the movie. Also the new blue-haired actress lit up every scene she was in. More of her please!

I just couldn't understand how someone who was as much as a perfectionist when it came to groundbreaking movie making would poop out something so unpolished and cheap looking. The lighting was uninspired, the choreography was lazy, the camera work was exceptionally amateur, and shaky-cam, really?!

When I saw the bus scene from Shang-Chi, that was the level of work and detail I was expecting when they were on that Tokyo train.
Obviously the web3 use case that gets the most excitement right now is the ability to speculate on unregulated securities, but I do think there's something interesting with letting users keep control of their data and writing API contracts you can't renege on later. I'm not totally persuaded that blockchains are a better way of doing that than some clever legal work like Creative Commons is, but it's worth playing around with. I hope that part of the space gets explored more.
I was once stuck in line in a Subway behind two Muslim men having an argument. One of them was insisting that he couldn’t have turkey ham because eating ham was against his faith, and the other one was trying to explain that ham was forbidden because it was pork and that turkey ham was fine because it wasn’t pork. His mate just kept repeating “it’s still ham though, innit?” There were halal signs up, that wasn’t the problem.

A television episode can be an inaccurate portrayal of religious law while still portraying what real religious people actually believe. Not every religious person is smart and well-informed about all the technicalities of their religion.
It doesn't do as good a job as it used to, but we never had a vaccine that was 100% effective at doing either of those things. It's always been a numbers game where vaccines simply increased the odds in your favor. Before delta the vaccines gave a huge boost to your odds of not catching covid at all, but now with omicron vaccines only provide a small boost. Even now it's still better to use vaccines to increase your changes against catching the virus even though the vaccines are most effective at preventing death and hospitalization.

Everyone on here dancing around that possibility due to...reasons.
sure, if the person was Indian it would be another story - given the location I doubt they were talking about an Indian accountant. Then again, I've worked with a lot of Indians and never saw any of them wear a swastika necklace.
I find such a remark weird given that "you" are serving such "helpless" creatures at your favorite restaurant. I think it's the ultimate hypocrisy. Not to mention that we have a situation where helpless creatures are sacrificed for the science/common good of human beings and the other situation where they are murdered for the taste of their meat & bones.
It’s certainly a more familiar term for many of us, but I prefer the new terms because “porn” has pleasurable connotations for most people. Using that term focuses on the abusers’ pleasure rather than the victims’ suffering.

I think this is especially important at older ages: if you remember things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_celebrity_nude_photo_leak there were entirely too many men who felt comfortable making public statements about how great it was (I remember seeing some open source developers tweeting about this like it was a gift to the world). That won’t happen for young children but it definitely does for teenagers, so I’m fine with changing the language to focus on the horrific experience.
Adding permissions would not have caught this case, though, because there is no need for permissions to run an infinite loop.
At one point, many of my entertainment news in my Google feed came from WGTC, and 95% of the time, what they presented in the article simply doesn't match the given impression of its title (a clickbait, so to speak), or simply came from not-so-reliable source. I eventually have to tell Google I don't want to hear from this source again.

Same goes to Alternative Nation (a music site), but it's worse than WGTC. It uses GoDaddy firewall to block access from my country. Not that I'm willing to put effort to get in, though, as it's as terrible as WGTC.
I'm talking about you saying they claimed something they didn't. And accusing them of bad faith.

They were wrong hospitals shouldn't treat unvaccinated patients. They were right withholding treatment someone needs to live months and withholding treatment someone needs to live days aren't 100% different.

> given the location I doubt they were talking about an Indian accountant

Possibly. As an Indian I'd just appreciate it if people were given the opportunity to have a dialogue around this. I agree that there are many cases where such dialogue is not warranted, of course.

A reply to your comment is perhaps not the best place for this, since I don't disagree with you, but am merely trying to have a somewhat relevant yet ultimately orthogonal discussion.

Personally, I've been forced to give it a wide berth for obvious reasons, as I imagine many Indians you know have too. However, if you came into my home you'd be able to find a few swastikas — I'm not even religious, it's just on gifts from friends and family.

> I've worked with a lot of Indians and never saw any of them wear a swastika necklace

Most Indians don't wear it, but that still leaves a lot who do. I'd also imagine that there's some selection bias going on when you consider only the people you've worked with. If you googled it you'd have noted that most images are clearly of pendants.

Google corrects spelling in the way you mention, but removes quotes only if there are zero results for the search with quotes. Example, finding one result; https://www.google.de/search?q=%22but+when+therefore+is+an+a...

Getting this wrong is probably why people think we need more than definitive assertions from people operating from subjective impression.

Changing a letter in the query, it says, right at the top:

Showing results for "but when therefore is an adverb"
No results found for "but when therefore is tan adverb"
For a random consumer opinion I dont think collecting marginal payment on sales leads hurts credibility per se. The huge red flag for me is taking payment from manufacturers. But an adequately disclosed commission, applied equally to different masks, doesnt obviously introduce bias in to your test results. I guess it could induce you to recomend higher priced masks. But readers have the qualitative data available to select comparable, cheaper, products as well.
Agreed, i wouldn't be suprised if they just moved the data.

>The Covid vaccine is hardly a “completely novel”

It really is. Its mechanism of action is completely new and involves cell alterations and inducing protein synthesis that has never been done before and for which no long term data exists.

>Sure the process used for this particular vaccine was novel, but do you think it’s mechanism of action is so fundamentally different from other vaccines such that it is likely to have fundamentally different long-term outcomes?

I don't know, maybe it could, maybe it couldn't. The data proving otherwise doesn't exist. That's why I'm going to wait for the actual science to be done.

> npm ci

Yes, that is the problem.

> people use `npm install`

Yes and not just in the CI but also to install CLI tools user wide on a system and similar.

> not sure how many people actually know about `npm ci`

Idk. either but `npm install` had been the default for years, and a lot of documentation is based on it. Not deprecating `npm install` or changing it's behavior is typical for the npm ecosystem, i.e. having subtle sometimes UX related security issues (at least in my experience, I doubt it got much better).

This reminds me of my dad’s story at work on time. He worked at a mill and the higher ups had a meeting with everyone. They said due to the high pricing of logs currently we are thinking we have to lay some guys off we didn’t want it to come as a surprise. My dad spoke up and said you own this division and the logging division. You set the price of the logs. You are telling us you charge yourself too much for logs and now we are going to lose work? There was union talk of a mill wide strike if they did it and they ended up not laying anyone off.
Is there evidence to suggest they were indeed coerced?

Thank you, this is an interesting insight that I hadn't considered. So planes are flying without cabin staff or catering, and potentially with less fuel (no idea if the weight of passengers is material here).

And in return, they are maintaining a complex system that has no central authority and is not easy to change. It doesn't sound ideal, but I also know that it's not something the single "they should just" solutions that outsiders propose will actually work in. Hopefully things get closer to normal soon and we won't have to worry about it.
