I see everywhere epidemiologist and doctors calling for « humility » with covid, since it has shown to be « full of surprises ». Which, to me, looks like another way of saying they got wrong numerous times in the past on how to manage the epidemic.

The fact is, we’ve never had (at least in europe) that many vaccinated people, that many sanitary measures (except for full lockdowns at the very beginning), and yet that many number of cases, as well as that many number of people in hospitals (from delta, since omikron looks much weaker, thanks to nature).

In that context, trying to blame JR for trying to give speech to other medical experts, and have a different opinion on that topic, is really unfair. This should actually be the stance most scientists should take : what did we do wrong, what did we miss, was there something we could have done differently ?

I'm not sure how fair it is to describe Thomas Sowell as a once-Marxist economist. He spent until he was 30 being Marxist, but then the next 50 years of his life being incredibly well-known as a fairly pro-Capitalist economist.

Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge fan of his. I'm just not sure this is a fair characterization of him :)
I looked into this last year, and the process seems to be "get at least half an undergrad degree in signal processing and then read the code."

That's exactly what I was thinking while reading that sentence. Gee, doctors are calling to not provoke distrust in doctors? I'm 100% on the doctors' side in this debate, but I am not part of the group that is being mislead. I can only imagine how this sounds to someone who is not sure about trusting doctors and common news outlets.

Not a big fan of Rogan, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with people speaking their mind, within legal limits; calls for violence etc. We as a society should exercise our greatest restraint for silencing speech, but we are accelerating the silence.
There's a difference between "doing it all the time" and "using it when I want to have it". We could be reading press newspapers once a day, and yet we check online webpages and forums. Do we really need it? Or we do it because it is an improvement as long as we use it wisely?
The syntax is what attracts me to Nim too.

Is it Rust's static lifetime constraints? Is there some feature you would miss if you used Nim instead? Or would you prefer to use Rust because more organisations are using it?

In a decentralized society, there may be multiple organizations deciding on when and how violent measures can be employed — and they could be as small as one person. If each organization thinks a different person is the owner of a property, that would be very unstable. However, if they all agree that a certain blockchain implementation of deeds is what decides ownership, then they can co-exist more peacefully. Not saying there aren't other hurdles, but that is certainly one of the big ones.

That does require that most of the society agrees on some set of principles, but that's true of a centralized government too: most of the society has to agree they are legitimate. Going back to the decentralized society, everyone would agree that the blockchain determines ownership and currency. So, an organization that accept those is viewed as legitimate, one that doesn't is illegitimate. In that scenario, illegitimate organizations would be less stable than legitimate ones.

So, the existence of a system that allows people to all agree in things like currency and ownership without giving that power to one specific organization is a step forward into making decentralized societies possible. Is it sufficient? Most likely not.
So what do people in Australia do when they move and have to sell their house, which will happen a lot before the 30 years is up? Are the buyers stuck with the exact same terms that the original purchasers set on the remaining principal, and then have to enter a separate mortgage for the part that's already paid off?

Or do there tend to be clauses that allow full repayment on transfer of ownership or something like that?

Utter counterfactual nonsense

Measures work, WHEN ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED

When 30%+ of the population is actively working to undermine measures that require high levels of compliance to work -duh- they don't work as well.

Moreover, the new variant is literally the 2nd most contagious disease out there, with a R0 of about 12 vs about 3 for the original variant, second only to measles. Of course numbers will become similar even with some of the population vaccinated.

Just do the math.

Two shots mRNA vaccine is about 25% effective at preventing cases, 3 shots about 75%, and both are around 90% effective at preventing hospitalization, and 98% effective at preventing death.

About 65% of the US population is 2-shots vacinated and 20% 3-shot vaccinated. The majority of the cases is in the minority of the unvaxed population, and 90% of the hospitalization and deaths are.

So, you are literally complaining about the exact opposite of what you state.

What is failing is not the measures, but the lack of measures.

What is disappointing is that bad takes like this have prevented leaders from actually taking any serious steps this wave.

And even then, the editor doesn't report where the error is in the "editor area", you have to read the file/line in the console.

Desires and wants change all the time for you already. Try this: The next time you desire something, focus on that desire. Stop talking or doing anything else that might distract you from this focus.

The desire will rise and fall away as you focus on it. Your mind will move on to other things.

You may come back to the same desire in an hour or the next day, but my point is that you can see this desire leave you as you focus on it.

You can’t get rid of desire permanently, but you can recognize that you are not the one in control of your desires. They rise and fall on their own. This is liberating because, with practice, you can lose attachment to these desires when you feel them.

This is one of the goals of certain types of meditation.
One big issue is that the largest supply chain participants generally do not want transparency because they make their money on opacity. Transparency attracts more entrants, applicants, and competitors. It is business intelligence that provides important things like pricing advantages. When competitors can see your supply chain, they can do all kinds of stuff to make your life harder and gain an edge.

Almost everyone at every stage in the supply chain have an interest in opacity rather than transparency. The people who may want transparency want transparency for themselves but not for others: they want the equivalent of a one-way mirror to spy through. Naturally, people tend to react with extreme negativity to the installation of such one-way mirrors. Actual transparency is desired by almost no one. This is even true at the consumer level: the consumer may want to know the supply chain information for various purposes, regulators certainly want to know it, business partners certainly want supply chain documentation, but a consumer would balk at the notion that they expose all of their credit card transactions to the entire world at all times. It's always transparency for thee and not for me.

I live in the Great Lakes with a heat pump heating in a drafty Victorian house. The heat pump came with resistive heat strips but they only kick on a few days a year.

Heat pumps do work in cold climates.
Looks interesting, will give it a read as it looks to cover more than the basics.

Years ago I worked in a SOC doing managed services for a major telco provider, and for some reason they thought that we didn't have the need to do any kind of SSH tunneling to manage routers/switches/firewalls. They kept blocking it at various layers, and we kept having to find more and more creative ways to get around it. I think at one point we were hosting our own PAC files local to our machines, building three layers of tunnels (the last of which being a dynamic SOCKS tunnel), and using a portable browser (because we couldn't be trusted with admin!) with FoxyProxy (or similar) to finally reach our destination.

> The vaccine unquestionably reduces severe infection, hospitalization, and death. It’s not even a question at this point.

If I may, this claim alone is the rallying cry of the anti vax movement - the original reasons given for emergency use was vaccines prevented infection for 90% of patients.

Anyone who took a quick look at the study knew that was bonkers… the methods obviously (and confirmed in hindsight) weren’t controlled properly and don’t support a reduced infection claim…

So the narrative shifted to preventing hospitalization - so the value given by not getting Covid is gone… you will get covid it just won’t be as bad.

Well now we are in the lottery effect where everyone believes they will be the one to beat the odds…

In poorer areas of the world, there is no shortage of people able to cut a car battery open, melt down the lead plates, reform them into new lead plates and refill the battery shell with drain cleaner (sulfuric acid). This only takes labor, which is cheap, so dead and new car batteries have very similar prices.

I found that 3-4 days/week was optimal solo and as a small team. With larger teams, 5 days makes more sense to cater for all the meetings, code reviews, training.

It's probably very difficult to sell it as a discount. That implies 20% less work and the economics don't add up for that. That's 20% more people they have to hire, more managers, more complexity. Startups need to get things done faster because they have other fixed costs, and a trillion dollar company doesn't mind paying a little extra.

The nature of the work also means that people who put in the hours need to work less. They've made the mistakes, they make more accurate estimates, they know which theories don't work, they can debug more instinctively. They also have more battle tested code, simpler code, templates, hotkeys and macros. Managers are happy to hire someone who gets the sprint done by Wednesday then slacks off - but that can't be part of the contract, and it often involves hiring someone who has put in the hours.

I think the best way to go about it is agreeing to complete as much work, and arguing that 4 day weeks are the most efficient way to do this. Basically the industry tries to hire a senior who does as much work as 5 juniors for twice the salary, so this isn't an unrealistic idea.

Who says I am constantly 'in the loop'? I do check Twitter when I want to, because there are subjects where I want to get the influx of raw ideas before they are processed and packaged by the powers that be. (It's also useful to track how those ideas are later processed and packaged in real time, something that you could never get by consuming mass media alone).

One point the linked article makes is that even this claim has been proven wrong.
It seems it worked in some way:

The programme was initially viewed with traditionalist scepticism by Allende’s Socialist Party. But Project Cybersyn’s hour arrived in October 1972 during a strike of 40,000 truck drivers led by the hard-right Confederación Nacional del Transporte. As Allende’s opponents sought to wreck the economy by preventing the transport of food and raw materials, Cybersyn was deployed to underwrite the resistance. Through the electronic network, the government was able to coordinate deliveries by active trucks and to evade blockades. “We felt that we were in the centre of the universe,” Espejo remarked.

After 24 days, the strike was defeated. Ministers then became “much more interested” in Cybersyn, Espejo told me. Allende even proposed transferring the operations room to La Moneda, the presidential palace.

On 10 September 1973, the government finally prepared to install an upgraded version of the system. But the following day, with the connivance of the CIA, Pinochet’s forces stormed the palace and bombed it from the air

We’re in a global heath crisis and the average people have been convinced that they need to be concerned about big pharma’s “bottom line” instead of doing what’s best for humanity.

Millions of lives are being ruined by pandemic response measures and you’re arguing that we can’t give out life saving treatments because it’s too costly. We’re sacrificing the average person’s (already somewhat poor) quality of life to spare big corporations the cost of making a positive contribution to the world.

In a world where we have political leadership that is deserving of trust these corporations would have had their freedoms trampled first instead the common person. Instead they’re posting record profits while the rest of us suffer.

The hardest thing for me to swallow is millions of people are ok with this and support it! Without any personal gain they’ll preach the good word of our modern oligarchy and shame dissenters. Seemingly out of nowhere “big pharma” can do no wrong and is above reproach.

That's the only recent one I've tried to listen to, and I agree. You could tell she was trying not to upset Rogan, but she was also completely uncomfortable with what he was saying.

She later posted a long follow-up on her own website to try to correct the misinformation. What a sad situation.

Similarly, with "sshuttle" you can pick n mix from different subnets with ease, or even forward your entire internet over SSH without a proxy for "poor mans VPN"

... although for the later purpose it's no where near as CPU efficient as wiregaurd, but with non root access to any SSH server it can get you around barriers in a pinch with only TCP 443 available, and effectively "VPN" multiple potentially conflicting subnets at the same time - I've not seen any other tool that can do the latter so effortlessly.
To provide more insight, this is what the process is:

* There are two new entitlements related to this, which you ask Apple to give you if you're a dating app.

* Once you get the entitlements, you need to create a new version of your app (it cannot be the same as your international one) that will ship exclusively in the Netherlands with that entitlement.

* Details of how this entitlement work will come at a later date.

* Apple will still charge a commission on these purchases, the details of which will also come at a later date.

* It is your privilege/responsibility to conflict resolution with regards to refunds and such.

In essence, Apple complied with the law in the narrowest terms they could, but they did indeed change things and I suspect many companies will go through this process even if it's made somewhat inconvenient. I guess what remains to be seen is if these entitlements slowly get rolled out in other countries as they also enact legislation to require it.
