I feel like you have missed my point still even though you quoted and responded to it.

I quoted and linked to a scientific researcher who is looking for side effects on the time scale of 6 months.

You then respond to tell me "we know how vaccines work... There's no reason to believe that these vaccines have effects outside the timescales being used"

Okay, so is the time scale 1 month or 6 months?

I think statistically less intelligence correlates to higher violence and poverty. Therefore, those who are poor due to low intelligence are more likely to also be violent.
A news report posted elsewhere in this thread[1] says the mess goes on for "miles" and thieves are there "daily". It doesn't seem to me like this is a visual distortion caused by lens type.

Anecdotally, in the past few months I've had five or six packages just never show up from Amazon whereas in all the years prior that happened so rarely I don't recall any such thing.

If you live in Galesburg IL, or Jackson MI, Altoona PA, Rome NY or similar places if the property taxes were raised to 10x as much the homes would be worth literally zero. The rental income wouldn't cover the property taxes. And that is the underlying problem, when the costs are so high, collecting a "fair" or actually necessary amount of taxes has a debilitating effect on the economy

We're in agreement that JOSE could have been much simpler. Again, I'm not a fan of JOSE, but I definitely see a gaping need for something like it.

Defining the "however you like" parts is the chief role of something like JOSE. Cryptographic standards like Ed25519 or ECDSA are not messaging formats. There needs to be an agreed way to send messages. That's the point of JOSE.

> so you need an actual written standard for how to shove the signed data and the signature into a single [...] you could just encode a tuple of (data, signature) [...] Need the header to encode which key to use to verify it? Fine, add a description of the key to the tuple [...] Need algorithm agility? Fine, treat the algorithm as part of the public key.

That's what JOSE defines.

Magic Leap's ML1 headset [0] works like this, but you still end up with a decent amount of heat-generating stuff on your face.

The "power pack" is the power bank sized thing with the battery and a smartphone caliber motherboard (ARM application processor and a mobile GPU).

There are around half a dozen cameras on the headset, and the GPU is too taxed generating content visuals to do real-time localization and eye tracking. Even if you had enough bandwidth to get all the frames down the cable, it would still be a difficult problem to solve on the GPU while still meeting latency requirements. So instead, there's a dedicated "vision processor" on the headset that processes all of the camera inputs and sends the localization results to the GPU. This vision processor chip gets quite hot.

The projectors themselves can also get pretty hot, especially if you need to crank the brightness up. Difractive optics have a lot of losses, unfortunately...

> but over time this is very ugly and frustrating (as it requires manual intervention) and you block the disposable Email provider they used ...

This seems like an ego issue honestly. Like you feel like you are being taken advantage of. If only a very small numbers of users are doing this then I don't see it worth the dev time to block the email providers they use possibly hurting valid customers. Just leave it alone. I use Relay for services I genuinely pay for but don't want to give out my email address in case of leaks.
I agree. However I am fed up with the cdc, youtube, facebook and others trying to control the narrative in any way they can. For instance not considering past infection as equal to a vaccination. Follow the science or don’t but do whatever truthfully. The next time when the cdc needs us to have faith in their recommendations we won’t have. This shouldn’t even be fathomable but here we are.
Fastmail also allows you to use a custom domain for masked email addresses. You can switch from fastmail.com to one of your custom domains.

Yes, that is also absolutely censorship. It's a shame that people don't have free expression in Europe.
There are various ways around that issue; no prohibitions of purely religious activities, a clause about limiting that no exceptions to laws about health/security etc.
To be honest, stealing off trains knowing you likely won't get caught is way more compelling than dealing with irate customers at McDonalds. That doesn't mean it's OK though.
"Don’t rewrite code without consultation. There’s a fine line between “fixing code” and “rewriting code.” Know the difference, and pursue stylistic changes within the framework of a code review, not as a lone enforcer."

There's a corollary to that: when you are working on someone else's code, don't restyle or re-architect to fit your vision. Don't even use your style or preferred architecture or design on your own additions; try to blend in with the rest of the code.
Yeah small retail is basically done. All that’s left if restaurants and services. And those are getting destroyed by Covid.
> Thieves are pilfering railroad cars in a crime that harks back to the days of horseback-riding bandits, but is fueled by a host of modern realities, including the rise of e-commerce and Southern California’s role as a hub for the movement of goods.

> Union Pacific reported what it claimed was a 160% increase since December 2020 in thefts along the railroad tracks in L.A. County

Both e-commerce and LA’s status as a hub are established. So why the increase now? I didn’t see a mention of economic realities driving crime, aside from the increased presence of homeless camps, such as skyrocketing costs of everything.

Means: your new home in California being a tent or car by the railway tracks

Motive: money.

Opportunity: unguarded rails and bottlenecked supply chain

America’s problems, especially the tragic amount of homelessness in CA, are becoming a lot harder to hide.

When police protection is removed from society:

* the rich buy security guards and security mechanisms.

* the middle class try their best to do the same on a budget.

* the poor have no protection.

Then a politician comes along and says, "Let's socialize the cost of security so that everyone is protected, not just the 1%"

And then you get police again.

My perspective is that the Overton window for politics in the U.S. is very narrowly defined between what I would consider to be two center-right parties, economically speaking.

If you had more of a political spectrum of representation/viability, then you'd probably see more political diversity as you do in many parliamentary governments around the world.

There does seem to be more of this emerging in the U.S., although it's still in very small pockets -- for example, you will find some socialist groups that intermix aspects of social conservatism or traditionalism with leftist economics.
It appears that you're shielding criminals behind mental illness, and making light of the plight of the victims by suggesting that they're wealthy elite. Most of the packages stolen off the trains belong to regular folks.
Depends on the circumstances in the real-life game you're playing but I hear you.

From what I've seen, if you win the first N rounds (N=1..20) then you gain critical mass and it becomes harder and harder to fail.

So yeah, what you say is based in solid reality in my experience as well.
With time it turned out the main use of cryptocurrencies (apart from speculation) is for illegal transactions, as they don’t normally manage to compete with legal transactions, but provide a way to avoid law enforcement while staying pseudonymous or anonymous when receiving or sending money.

By supporting cryptocurrency infrastructure you are indirectly supporting those illegal transactions. Now you could say the same e.g. for bakers that they also feed war criminals or whatever, however bread’s main use isn’t feeding criminals. It’s much more akin to providing money laundering services.
This particular train incident seems to have gotten a lot of press. I don't think it's a new issue, though. Railroad police have existed for as long as the railroad has existed. The way I see it, the railroad police were napping and as a result, Union Pacific's insurance company is going to make a slightly smaller profit this month. If this becomes widespread, Union Pacific can implement mitigations to reduce the number of trains that are robbed or pay higher insurance premiums. If they raise prices to cover the insurance premiums, then customers can use BNSF instead.

I'm not sure what government measures would be more helpful than the free market here. Let's say the state executes everyone who tresspasses on railroad property. This is extremely costly, which takes resources away from other governmental functions. And, we tried this with murder, and the results don't seem that good. Murder rates in areas with the death penalty are not lower in areas that abolished the death penalty. Criminals plan to not get caught, so the consequences aren't a deterrent. My conclusion is that being tough on crime doesn't really change much. A slightly better lock on the containers would probably be the winning solution here.
> Kamala Harris told voters in 2014 that Proposition 14(typo) was "The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act."

I would say "stealing under $950 each time you got it for free" is inaccurate.

I witnessed the 2020 protests firsthand and saw no looting or riotous behavior; only marching. Commercial theft seems to have been, overwhelmingly, performed by opportunists and not the protesters themselves, and only one actual property fire was recorded[1].

This is in direct contrast to the efficient cause of the riots during January 6th, which was political and not opportunistic in nature. Attempting to discharge the responsibility of those involved in the latter by appealing to the former is distasteful, to say the least.

> It is not as if it is hard to get a job right now after all?

What makes you think that poor people does not have jobs? Search the term "the working poor".
You're conflating two issues: poverty and inequality.

US is one of the richest countries, has less poor people than other rich countries, the "poor" in the US are richer than the "poor" in e.g. UK or Italy, and "average" (mean and median) incomes in UK or Italy would be considered "poor" in the US.

see: https://twitter.com/CPopeHC/status/1469070902813995014

So, inequality is irrelevant, only absolute poverty is relevant.

EDIT: NOTE: the graph in the link above is disposable income (a.k.a. above cost of living)

Personally, I don't think that poverty is the issue here. People aren't looting Apple stores because they're poor. But the lack of social safety net (income, health, mental health) for the poorest probably doesn't help.

Hmm. I am genuinely curious, how is it less convenient for you? To copy something to the clipboard you have to select it and press control–c, then to paste it you have to click where you want it to go and press control–v. That’s not very hard, certainly. But to use selection instead you only have to select it, then hover over where you want it and middle click. That’s fewer steps!

Of course I am assuming that your hand is already on the mouse. However, you said that you highlight things frequently as you read them, so I assume that’s what you meant.
Iview?

Isee?
dunno, but lets assume it did: is it more likely that existing thieves switched to a higher returning crime, or that out of work kindergarten teachers started stripping roof AC units?

Wait, if the gap in wealth inequality has been doing nothing but expanding... why does the crime rate do nothing but fall? With very few, and very brief, exceptions - this is the case.

This project seems to work under the pretense of fighting the spammers. Maybe it actually does. But it also deprives people of their right to not be tracked constantly, to remain anonymous.

> All that to say, you've provided an unsubstantiated hypothesis. More than likely, it isn't true.

To be clear, my hypothesis is that scientists look for short term side effects on the scale of 6 months rather than the 1 month you stated it would not be possible to have them after.

> But even if it is, it doesn't contradict my initial statement. Because I didn't say there could be no long term side effects, I said that those side effects would be a strict subset of covid side effects.

I'm not arguing with you over whether or not there could be long term side effects; I am arguing with you over the definition of long term.

Easy to figure out what's going on here. Online shopping has increased dramatically, but the amount of security around packages hasn't increased proportionally. Perhaps packages are harder to secure than retail stores, so we need a more than proportional increase.

Californians get all bent out of shape when they aren't welcomed with open arms when they move to more center/right-of-center/right states like Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, etc. The surrounding states are worried (amongst other things), that the progressive voters will come to their states and wreck them with ultra-progressive policies like they wrecked the state they are leaving.

As to the "letting up on drug prosecutions", in the Reagan-esque war on drugs, the Drugs won that war a long time ago. Maybe it's time to start treating serious drug addiction (meth, coke, heroin, etc) as a mental health crisis instead. Turns out that it actually costs a lot of money each year to keep a person incarcerated, and when they get turned loose back into society without addressing the underlying metal health and addiction issues, it just repeats in a loop.
That's an interesting system, but this is pretty "in your face" -- it seems like to takes over some git ops and other steps.

We went the other way and made an "invisible" system -- there were two scripts: one would move data file to cache, upload it, and create metadata file that needs to be checked in; and second one which will take a list of metadata files and make sure that each of them is downloaded to cache. We then modified all of our code to call second script before trying to read large files.

The overall experience was that one didn't have to know anything about our large-file system unless they wanted to add a new file. It is just sometimes, one would run a program and that program would automatically download few large data files.

(We could do this really simple design because (1) we had a centralized large-file storage, (2) all of our large files were immutable and (3) they were only consumed by our code which we could modify)

This already happened in the US, too, regarding strike-breaking forces. See, for example, the official history of the Pennsylvania State Police.

But there are numerous solutions between the current situation and what you describe. Better locks, housing the homeless, reducing the amount of junk we import, etc.

I remember as a kid trains had cabooses (a sign of more employees). But of course that has all been optimized away. I’m guessing the skeleton crew is completely unable to secure the train if they wanted to.
