This entire thread is discussing recovered. Only your responses seem to remove that qualifier, if you want to discuss immune naive individuals perhaps find a relevant thread. You'll find it very difficult find immune naive individuals outside of full lockdown countries so their discussion seems odd in the context of nations like France or USA.
I would welcome such a comment, it tempers what was admittedly my own hyperbole with a nuance of reality.

But yes, I doubt an American full-service car wash would recognizable in the Nordics.
I'm an author of this post and I wanted to share the product here to interest you with it and maybe collect some valuable feedback as well.

We’ve built BOWWE several years ago actually, with the aim to enable everyone to have equal and easy access to the benefits of an online presence. The goal of the project was to allow people to create websites quickly, even without programming skills. We’ve started BOWWE in 2013, after hearing a few complaints about current web builders, and decided to hop on the topic ourselves.

The tool enables for now, to build a website, landing&micro page, portfolio and online CVs within the drag&drop system.

Some features of the tool we introduced so far:

- NoCode Technology - The ability to create your own site without IT knowledge

- LowCode Technology - the possibility of adjusting the code to your own needs (HTML, CSS, and Javascript)

- High-quality code and SEO will prime key positioning in search engines for any projects created within

- The high responsiveness of the creator, so the pages work on all devices and are aesthetic thanks to Pixel Perfect technology.

PS. Share any of your insights with me. We are open to any criticism!
That's awesome!

I'm a refugee from Wallachia. My government has collapsed, my currency is destroyed by hyperinflation. How do I use Bitcoin for payments?
I quit my job few months back. CEO was just starting to project so much negativity on my path that I had it. “I fuked his wife and I left” Totally kidding, I was thinking about the Step Brothers scene lol. Anyway humor aside, I been struggling in what to do, and what path to take. Been registering bunch of domains, thinking on creating some micro startups. But whenever I want to dive into my projects, I just lose interest. Maybe it is the midlife crisis, maybe the pandemic. I blame myself. I really like the consultation idea. I love to automate things. ReverseE software. Some of the comments here are pumping hype into my vision. What really motivates you?
> Don't force others to assume risk for your own benefit

This is exactly what remaining unvaccinated is though

You're deliberately extending the pandemic and killing people so you can turn your nose up at authority, with no benefit to yourself, while actively denying the scientific consensus on this

Don't be surprised when the majority of people have a bad reaction to that, when their grandparents are dying as a result of your actions, of course politicians are going to try and speak to that sentiment, people are really angry over this one

I've been vaccinated 3 times now, it's nothing to worry about it and I barely noticed it throughout each one
I don't really understand this comment. I've been in consulting for my whole career, and my job security has never depended on a single contract. When a client doesn't extend, you move to a new client. Sometimes this can be disappointing or feel unfair, but it's never resulted in me losing my job. The whole point of having management in a consulting company is surely to make sure that the consultants always have a client.
Even if it worked electrically, I'd be afraid to do that on commodity home hardware while powered. The motherboard might be held in space on standoffs, and you're putting a ton of force to jam that edge card connector in. If the flex induces things in sockets to wiggle around, or poor exercises any poor solder joints, you might introduce some transient errors.

Or I'm just paranoid. A ZIF PCI-E socket would be swell for this.
Tbf, blockchain is the dark matter of technology. People are never allowed to criticize it without the same, repeated feedback “If that’s what you think blockchain is, then you don’t understand it.”

Why doesn’t someone, then, who actually understands their almighty blockchain god, illuminate us, mere mortals, on the wonders of blockchain and how it can be good for society in the foreseeable future.

You know what’s really tiresome? Having the promises of blockchain sold to us for years now without a single, useful purpose for it in sight other than, well, cryptobros.

I studied physics in undergrad. This was basically my impression: most problems are really hard but we don’t need to solve all of the cases. Just hammer on it until it looks like a harmonic oscillator and then apply the known solution.
I use Amazon cloud and photos are free with Prime. If I get close to 1TB in cloud storage with videos, I back up to local FIFO.
Indian here (from southern part): My physical attribute, 5'2 (short but not dwarf), Wheatish color. In India most of the marriage will be arranged, so I'm trying for arrange marriage, I'm searching from past 3 years, rejected by 200 odd potential bride because of my height and we don't have a own place of in city (but we have in village, as of now staying at a rented place in city). Even my love proposal in past was rejected either by my financial condition or by my height. the girl is 5ft is also expecting 5'5 above. I don't know why girls prefer height over everything. The only reason I'm being considered in few scenario is my education background and my salary. We as a family were from lower middle class, due to my and my brother earning we are kind of between upper middle and middle class. I tried bumble, nothing worked there too. Any suggestion please?
I mean... if that's the intention it's a bit on the optimistic side. Irish artists as a group, even those who benefit from the artists' tax exemption and various grant schemes, are not exactly known for being pro-government. I'm not sure that artists in any democratic country are; arguably artists being generally pro-government would be a rather bad sign.
Ableton Push is absolutely fantastic - the original v1 device is pretty inexpensive as a used purchase, and it's still masses of fun. Very well built as well
I uh, kinda just don't. I save some pictures to Google drive and otherwise just embrace ephemerality.
I have more than 4 TB lifetime pCloud storage. Best option for storing photos and videos. Better than everything else out there.
I have an XO-1 in my closet and the display was really the only thing I loved about that laptop. I wish I had the knowledge to create a display driver for it to hook it up to a raspberry pi that could make a fun little netbook.

A display that you could actually read outdoors was super useful for me. I used the XO-1 for a few months as my actual laptop after my macbook died and I bought a macbook pro. Those were literally unusable outdoors and for a while I would carry the XO-1 around with me instead of my laptop just because I could actually use it. Honestly if they keyboard had not been complete crap I might have never replaced my macbook.

Even today my laptops 500 nit display is only usable outdoors at 100% screen brightness and destroys my battery life.
Consulting companies take a cut and and working for one company closes more doors that it opens.

Businesses usually have a handful of preferred suppliers they source consultant from, as well as black lists.

One thing a consultant has to figure out is how the procurement works in places they want to join. Some things are surprisingly public, like many tendering websites. You do not have to answer to a tender directly, but you can always check who is winning and who is likely to need more people aboard and apply using that knowledge.
The typical source of confusion is conflating "free" with "unpredictable". But they're not the same thing at all.
"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve." - Satoshi Nakamoto

- 2008-present ECB/Fed/BoJ/BoE/global QE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing)

I don't know about the author but I have a feeling that the track record of central banks isn't exactly stellar, and I'd much rather trust a decentralised system with zero ability for sustained debasement than trust a small centralised group of people who have time and time again abused that trust.
If you want to define volume in D-dimensional space then you need to choose what the unit volume is, for example that a unit hyper cube has unit volume one. (That choice is relevant for these discussions and you could equally have chosen a unit ball to have volume one since you're defining D-dimensional volume you get to choose.) But a probability distribution is always normalized to integrate to one, which means either choice of volume definition will give you the same uniform probability distribution on the ball. So there's an extra arbitrary constant to choose for volume that isn't important in the probability distribution even though you define the probability density in terms of the volume.
One can be more discerning of where they spend their discretionary income than other necessities like gasoline.

After studying this discussion it seems that the puzzle has been solved several more times: There is an active subreddit dedicated to it [1], with a handful of people credibly claiming to have solved the puzzle.

So "solved for just the third time" is likely not technically true, but the puzzle does seem to be very very difficult.

I mean, maybe some? That's typically a risk you take with these things, unless you want to spend most of the money on oversight. It's capped, and not a huge payment, so any impact from that would be limited.

The claim that horizontal scaling is free with Docker is simply not accurate.

Maybe it will be some day, but these orchestration and deployment tools built on Docker have enormous hidden costs.

IME, Docker takes an enormous amount of focus away from the customer problem and moves it to the how to get this mess working problem.

Now may be the right time in a given business to make that shift in focus, but to claim that it will be "free" is just misleading (IME).

What is not ok is that bed capacity hasn't increased in two years. That's the politicians fault. But they don't want you to blame them for the obvious.
Use Google Photos on my android phone, then use gphotos-sync[0] to sync the files to a hard drive on my DIY NAS. Contents of hard drive are periodically backed up with restic[1] to B2[2].

My reasoning is that I don't trust Google to not lock me out of my account at some point, so having both a local and a remote backup gives me piece of mind. I periodically check the offsite backup to check that it's still all working. Total cost for about a terabyte of files (it's not only photos and videos) is about $6/month, which is pretty reasonable.

If we’re using universality as a benchmark, more people can appreciate the advances in technology facilitated by Linux, Postgres, Git, and WordPress, than they do a lot of art, which can be culturally or linguistically specific, obscure, or highly subjective in general.

Unless you’re talking about very specific art and very specific software, I don’t think universality is a strong argument.
I have about 6Tb of photos and videos that are stored on an on-site TrueNas Server. This includes my raw files, lightroom library and edits.

TrueNas is configured to automatically backup to Backblaze B2 (which is off-site).

After editing, all the exported JPGs are stored on Google Photos and shared with family. I like Google photos because of the content search and face detection features.

So that's 1 on-site medium and 2 off-site mediums. I used to burn the photos to archival disks and place them in the bank, but it got tedious.

Edit: I use Backblaze because it's the cheapest. Most Photo storage providers don't have support for Raw files. (If anyone has a recommendation let me know).
More than what?
> Pay people to do tiered support.

This exists. You can sign up for a contract that will grant you various tiers of support.
You're, of course, right that you just need to study and learn a complex framework. Basically the same way that you learn a new programming language- they're all different and have different behaviors and idioms (pass-by-copy vs. pass-by-reference, etc).

However, there's another dimension here, and while it's not totally unique to Java, it's definitely present in larger magnitude in Java, in my experience. There are two parts:

1. None of these frameworks are 100% consistent. I haven't used Spring{,Boot} in years, but I can tell you that JPA/JDBC are full of little "surprises" and rough edges, like handling nullable database columns. If you are not careful with your annotations, you'll get a `0` value for your `Int` object field instead of the `null` that was in the database. You can then go for quite a while before you figure out that's what happened. Similarly, JacksonXML has all kinds of little gotchas when it comes to date-time types and timezones, primitives and null-ness, etc.

2. Most projects have more than one of these complex frameworks. See above. I listed JacksonXML and JPA/JDBC. Odds are that you have AT LEAST these three frameworks (including Spring) in your Java project, which means you have to study all three and learn all of their intricacies before being confident in the code you write. That's on top of learning how to write half-decent Java, which is hard enough with its type-erased generics, bug-prone null-handling, and very verbose class definition syntax. If it were just one thing, I'd be sympathetic and tell people to just RTFM. But, unless you plan on only writing Java code for the next decade+, I have come to believe that it's probably not worth it.
Counter anecdote, I've seen a company go belly up entirely and

- Most of the consultants had new gigs within weeks.

- It was the permanents with 6+ years at ACME corp on their resume that had a harsh time finding work even months later.

So take it with a grain of salt, it highly depends on context, but true job security is mostly an illusion.
But in order for a valid mapping to exist it needs to fit into what's mapping. Following your example, how do you map chess to the salesman problem if chess is not optimizing the same thing?

Remember: van Gogh was undervalued while he was alive. I guess he should just have thrown his stuff away early and become a baker. Mozart had virtually non-stop money troubles, even before he started becoming a party animal, and died a pauper who was buried in a linen sack in a mass grave. Guess he would have had a better life being a potter.

Art is something that may only be valued highly ex post facto, and which takes a long time of intensive training to get started...
What a poser! I bet he doesn't even have a Japanese girlfriend. Good on you, gotta keep these fauxtaku in line.
I've never worked as a consultant, but I look at that profession as the one that should bring new knowledge to someone that needs it. If done properly this is great :)
> You may be right, but you cannot actually conclude that, because the country is 92% vaccinated and half of ICU are unvaccinated

They're two separate data points, he hasn't done this

He's stated separately that 92% of the country is vaccinated AND (separately) half of ICU admissions are from the unvaccinated, what it means is that that remaining 8% are responsible for more than half of the COVID hospitalisations

Considering how much of a surveillance state AUS has, they likely do have the data to draw these conclusions

It really does show how effective they are in also reducing the severity of the condition, which is a very important point to make
> What am I missing?

The fact that a correlation between religion and fertility rates is completely bollocks (with the notable exceptions of some extremist/fundamentalist sects of Christianity such as Quiverfull and Amish as well as fringes of the Jewish Ultra-Orthodox movement). High reproduction rates are closely linked to poverty [1], and once wealth rises in a country or people migrate from poor/high-rate countries, birth rates drop accordingly [2].

Additionally, it's a simple numbers game. The US only has 1% of Muslim faith [3], the European continent has ~7.5% [4] Muslims (of which 2/3rds belong to Russia and Turkey - the European Union figure is ~3.3%), even India barely has 13% [5]. It's mathematically impossible for Islam to achieve dominance in any country it doesn't already have by population in any feasible time scale, especially as religious affiliation in general keeps dropping and dropping associated again with wealth and education levels.

In general, the "the Muslims will replace us demographically!!!" take is dominantly found on the far-right end of the political spectrum, with the worst of the worst being the virulently anti-semitic "great replacement" theory that alleges that a "new world order" led by Jews wants to "replace" the intelligent White Christian population with dumb Muslims [6]. Please, don't fall for that kind of baseless, vile propaganda.

I use a NAS and cloud storage. I recently got a new Synology NAS and, since it supports Docker, it’s straightforward to run nearly whatever software you want.

They have a decent enough Photos app for browsing / sharing photos.

For offsite backup, I send to B2 which is ridiculously cheap, but I pay for, so I’m not the product. I haven’t put Cloudflare in front of it, but that’s something extra folks do.
Interesting, I didn't know that they made a PAP. What year was it manufactured? I suppose the real question is, how well does the bolt lock and slide? The furniture is of less concern.

I've never handled a PAP, they're not common where I live. I have seen the difference between the Russian and the Chinese AKs, though, and so I do understand what you mean.
I print them... for xmas i printed 600 photos for about 60 eur, it was well worth it.
If this was true (or the only factor), the demographic trends in India would match the ones from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
I prefer `querySelector` and bare `<script type="module">` tags for quick and dirty jQuery replacement.

If you haven't keeping up with all the new script-tag parameters, I suggest looking at this: https://gist.github.com/jakub-g/385ee6b41085303a53ad92c7c8af...

Choosing type=module is usually better choice than classic script tags like in the article. Module tags fetches (if any modules is used) asynchronously, and executes after the parser, however it won't work with older browsers.
I may be pointing in the wrong direction here, but overall I've noticed a small but noticeable trend with people from less vibrant version of Christianity (mainly the "unchanged" western form of Christianity) becoming interested/invested in old per-christian culture/traditions/spirituality.

While a definitive explanation for it has not been made, I think the biggest reason for it is as the article explains, in that these older traditions is a lot more open and flexible ironically enough because it's been the only way for it to be taken serious in modern times (in essence that the myths and legends are merely stories or fair tales told to teach a certain concept).

But also because these old religions is much less of a burden for the believer both in terms of what a "good" believer is but also because lack of clashes with society's expectations and norms.
First, I'd recommend thinning out - multiple terabytes sounds very extensive and can be thinned by removing duplicates and by using better compression like webp or x265, removing unnecessary raw-files, etc.

My personal backup is the usual 3-2-1: 3 backups, 2 places, 1 offline. I have one copy on my local harddrive (that I work with), one automatically synced copy via seafile on one of my dedicated servers (which also maintains a few months of history in case I accidentally delete something) and I have one external, offline harddrive at a relatives house, that I sync to every half a year or so. Since I'm paranoid, my dedicated server is backed up to an external storage every night as well via borgbackup. If you don't want to spend a few bucks a month on backblaze or another service, just use a local NAS - as long as you have one harddrive offline and external as well (in case of a ransomware attack that crypts all files).

Important: My files and backups are fully encrypted and it's imperative(!) that you backup all documentation, all config files, all settings, all cronjobs, all executables that have something to do with the backup and restoration process unencrypted with every backup - in the desaster case, nothing sucks more than trying to find the right settings again.

Case in point: I originally used a custom shell script and encoded the files with openssl. However, the default hash scheme was changed between openssl 1.0 and openssl 1.1 (or something like that) and when it came to restoring after a harddrive failure, this took me like a weekend to sort out.

As for posterity: it's up to you if you encrypt the external drive at a relative - if you're fine with a burglar having the images and you cannot be ransomed with them (e.g. due to nudes), just write what is on the harddrive clearly and you're fine.
