Here in Ontario Canada, the official government guidance is to not get tested if you have a mild case, due to a province-wide shortage of PCR tests [1]. Several friends have likely contracted COVID in the past 2 weeks (38-39 degree fever for 2-4 days with some coughing). Nothing serious enough to go to the hospital, but enough to take some time off work. All their cases are also unreported.

Another point in the Goa'uld's column is the gradual build of them as threats. At the beginning of the early seasons, Earth was only barely on their radar, and the characters tried to keep a low profile, but things escalated and they developed allies. At the beginning of season 9 the Ori show up and are comparatively static threats for the next 2 seasons and a movie.

That's fair but I thought we were talking about in the sense of software companies? Facebook makes a large majority of their money through advertising, not the amount of installs they get from pytorch or react.

What sort of advertising can you honestly inject into something like VS Code to keep users from leaving?

I do agree about vertical integration, another user mentioned using VS Code and Github as a means to introduce Azure. That makes more sense to me and I neglected the thought.

No, Westinghouse has designs for small reactors too.

One prob with oklo seems its amateurish funding and founding. The other is that maybe 1 mw isn’t so useful. 100mw makes a difference (with distribution), so does 50kw (without distribution.)

What is 1 mw for? An airport, maybe?
> The UK has good broadband

London has good broadband in parts. In the central postcode of a major city in 2019, I could only get 40Mbit broadband, pathetically low compared to the multiple 1-2Gbit options I have in the US for the same price or lower.

You are mistaking "what Cities spend on maintenance" for what it would cost to fully maintain the system. The author does a good job spelling this out:

> If we convert 177 miles into feet it’s 934,560 feet of road. At $20 per foot per year, we would need to spend on average $18,691,200 a year on road maintenance just to keep all of our roads properly maintained.

Note his actual estimate is ~$18.6M not the ~$4M you quoted - that was his hypothetical "even if I'm wrong by 4x too high" number.

> According to the capital improvement plan from earlier we are planning to spend an average of $3,220,000 per year.

Note that the author's cost figure is just for roads and does not include other similarly expensive infrastructure like water lines that are included in the city's Capital Improvements budget.

The reason for this gap in infra funding is they don't have the money, so they let most of the infrastructure decay, and use the money they have to patch the worst problems as best they can.

Every city in America is doing this. We just so used to it we don't think anything of driving on roads that are full of cracks and potholes and generally falling apart.

This gap is why the American Society of Civil Engineers gives the US a C- on infrastructure. (https://infrastructurereportcard.org)
Two comments: your app didn’t work on my iPhone, and using the dot/dash notation is generally acknowledged to be inferior to using (e.g. dahdidah) sound patterns. (It looks like you’re using didahdit .-. for “K”, but that’s ”R”. I couldn’t get the following page to do anything, so I couldn’t check further.)

A good app that’s in the iOS store is Ham Morse, which uses the famous Koch method to teach code.
Definitely - it’s when their advertising is loading that all the problems manifest, and it’s the advertising that hammers the cpu once it is loaded, on a desktop where I can filter everything out it’s just another site, on iOS where there is no filtering it causes nothing but problems. Do I want to read about local news and probably lose all my tabs when the browser crashes, or avoid the site and keep my tabs another day? Their app has the same issue, I’m sure it’s just a thin wrapper around the iOS web widget (does not even seem to cache or pre-load content), it freezes solid for minutes while loading advertising and pounds the cpu as long as it’s in the foreground.
That doesn't make much sense when looking at hospital data. The previously infected have the lowest hospital administrations vs even the vaccinated.

If you are double vaxed and get infected it make zero sense to also get a booster unless you have an immune system issue.

>Just work hard and it will be fine. Which if you look was never true.

I don't know, but I still think the first strategy beats the hell out of the alternative: "don't do anything and wait for life to pamper you" - because it won't.

Life is a fight and one's attitude, while not the only factor, will go quite far towards determining the outcome. A can-do attitude, optimistic and oriented towards success will often encourage a person to take the necessary steps and gambles.

While a victim mentality, a losing attitude will discourage a person and make it lose the fight before even starting.

I don't intend to ever run Win11 on personal hardware, based on several of the changes they made - though I barely run Windows 10. I don't believe any of my stuff "fully supports" Win11 anyway, despite being some reasonably recent CPUs (8000 series Intel and a little AMD NUC). Yes, I know about the USB install trick, no, I just don't care.

The first major point of concern is the issue during late beta where the chunk of advertising JSON that was malformed took out Explorer entirely, rendering the system unusable. That speaks to how tightly Microsoft has integrated "things I consider worthless crap" (advertising) with the core OS. In my preferred model of computers, the OS is core, and nothing from the internet can render the core OS inoperative (short of actual OS updates being defective). Advertising updates definitely can't render the OS entirely non-usable. They got it fixed before too long, but that tight integration between "core OS" and "advertising delivery" is exceedingly concerning.

Microsoft has also been steadily making "offline accounts" harder, and with Win11, has made offline accounts no longer an option for Win11 Home. You are now required to have an online Microsoft account in order to use your local computer (or pay up for the Pro version, because you're not being as profitable on the backend). My read of this, given the advertising tie-in, is that Microsoft has decided that the "behavioral surplus collection" benefits from having what's likely to be your common email tied to your account (and at least your IP address) exceed the small costs of annoying a few technical users - and are therefore almost certainly hoovering up more information about use than they were with Win10. Again, my model of computers is that the local login information, at least for personal computing, has no business being tied to whatever online accounts I care to use or not use, and my OS definitely shouldn't be actively reporting up what I use or not (yes, I know Win10 and MacOS are both doing this in some form or another, and I'm moving away from both of them).

These two, combined, tell me that Win11 has diverged so far from what I consider an OS should be (serving me, not using my behavior as a raw material source for the OS company) that I'm just not willing to use it for personal use. I've been heading more completely down the Linux road lately, and will likely continue that, just because of how I think computers should function in relation to my goals.

This does mean there are probably certain things I won't be able to do eventually in the context of gaming, though the Steam/Linux/Windows compatibility layers (Proton?) are getting better, from what I hear. But I've accepted that there will be things I can't do with computers if I use computers in the way I think they should behave, and I'm OK with that.
Here is the Pfizer-CEO board member approved truth ministry version:

Basically, statistics only matter when it shows what they want you to see, but when it says that triple vaxxed are 8% more likely to get Omicron than unvaxxed then you are drawing conclusions.
I've recently been thinking that Twitter has absorbed much of the former Tumblr userbase.

They don't need to compete with amazon they just need to be profitable. Their AAD integrations are nice and their portal+ux(including api+powershell) and Defender ATP for E5 customers make them much better than GCP and in some cases AWS. The big three are here to stay.
This data is really quite poor. It’s adjusted based on a 2000 census. It’s also showing a 2 dose effectiveness of over 70% against Omicron which we know to be under 10%. If you’re using this as an argument to get vaccinated, it’s a bad one.
The author thinks the city needs to spend a little over $18M per year just on roads. That would be about $1200 per year per house or $100 per month. Considering that their total property taxes are currently around $1700 per year in total property taxes that's a huge increase.

Well, after staying around 5 years in NL I would have to say that yes, bikes are a thing here and yes you can definitely have some excellent positions here and overall the place is great.

But covid has forced me to reconsider and I have made the decision to move to a place where I actually enjoy the outdoors and is overall beautiful and adventurous. Australia is that place, and I have been looking to get sponsored for the past 2 weeks albeit with no success.

I am very open in moving to any of the big cities (with Brisbane being my favourite) but it seems that the local employers are reluctant to sponsor even though the process looks straightforward and very affordable.

So yes; relocation to AU is more of a life choice than a carreer one. My question is, do you perhaps know where to look for local companies interested in sponsorship?

From my side, if you want some info on NL hit me with some questions and I will do my best.
Non profit does not mean that it do not have to pay taxes on the money it manipulates.

Non profit orgs receive services from the state and they have a cost to fund social security and such.

Other non profits which do not have a very nice situation can receive help from the state, so why not share the bits of success of Lichess to everyone else?
Medication helped me a lot when I stopped thinking of it as a panacea. Best of luck!
And when was it censored?

I note that it says "It is too early to draw conclusions from our data on the effectiveness of vaccines against the Omicron variant." also.

Does it mean more likely to get infected (given the same exposure) or more likely to be infected? The difference is quite important.
Yup. One of the reasons GNU has a deblobbed Linux build.

There’s nothing wrong with Bottom of the barrel. It’s describing the work done, not the nationality of the workers.

> the bottom of the barrel
The cheapest, worst, or lowest quality. Used to describe an item in a range of comparable products. [0]

If all software companies were in a barrel West highest cost at the top and lowest cost at the bottom, even the worst quality local companies would be somewhere in the middle. They just can’t compete with the labour cost of overseas developers.
If you’re looking for something to be produced at minimum cost, you’re literally looking for bottom-of-the-barrel.

It has nothing to do with racism. If India’s economy exploded overnight and the cost of labour went up 10,000%, North American businesses would look elsewhere. If American developers could be paid $3/hour tomorrow, we would hire those developers but still call any American writing code at that price “bottom of the barrel”.

It makes it easier for most cases of international travel. In a lot of contexts if you're vaccinated + boosted + recovered in the last 90 days, you can just travel and not worry about the result of the COVID test you need to return to the United States as long as you have a letter stating recovery.
>in prison or giving up their assets.

This is too much a TV show story. Since the state doesn't really know how much bitcoins they have, the key owner can share only a fraction of their wallets (and they can have as many wallets as they please).

Without crypto currency being regulated, state can seize the physical assets but getting all the bitcoins is highly unlikely.
I've been to a fair few places around the world, some experiencing levels of poverty, corruption and violence that should make any human weep. To compare the UK to those, while using the terms "Brexit" and "Prime Minister Boris" is absurd and hyperbolic, if not disrespectful to both the UK and those people in the places I mentioned.
I've worked with under-skilled developers all over the world. Including NL where I currently reside - none of them are Indian, all Europeans.

Either way, I wouldn't call entire swathes of any of them "bottom of the barrel".

The messaging flip flop by the authorities were were supposed to trust contributed too. Then the statistics seemed to suggest that it didn’t seem to matter as well (areas with mask mandates vs areas without them). Then, they simply became a virtue signal—“I am taking the pandemic seriously”

I live in the country near a couple of small cities about an hour outside of a major city. The small cities are probably best described as "hanging on." I basically frequent businesses that aren't food oriented once in a blue moon--and never walk around the downtowns. I do shop in the city limits but it's mostly either a supermarket or the Walmart. The travel agency downtown sure isn't going to pull in a lot of traffic.
Published effectiveness against Omicron infection is under 10%. This data is simply wrong.
It doesn't surprise me that there can be a lot of movement among the lower to upper middle class brackets. I suspect where the unfairness is really apparent is the bottom 20% or so. What are expected adulthood earnings for kids that grow up below the poverty line?

Actually the cost of initial construction and future reconstruction is about the same. The problem is the initial construction is heavily subsidized either by State or Federal "growth" grants, or by developers who financialize the whole thing through the sale of federally subsidized development loans.

In theory what should happen is the resulting development pays enough taxes to pay for all the infrastructure it depends on to be rebuilt as needed (typically every 15-30 years depending on which kind of infra we're talking about). But in practice the taxes are not actually linked to the cost of infrastructure (they are much too low) and not enough funds are collected to maintain the infra.

This is managed by a shell game where fees from new developments (who just financialized their new infra) are used to pay the maintenance on old projects that are losing money, and where federal subsidies for growth and expansion are contorted to uses like widening a scarcely used road that is falling part (bc. the feds will pay to expand but not to maintain) - which solves the problem for now by making it even worse for the next generation.

> are there any news outlets that abides by this rule?

Maybe not - but others are their own business, rather than funded by a tax on the people like the BBC.

And the BBC do seem to be particularly weird and breathless about reporting on themselves. They've edited the article in place and they're now quoting insider knowledge from an anonymous tip-off... that they've given themselves.

It's like that in other areas as well - people working at the BBC once commissioned a sitcom about... people working at the BBC. And when they report on the winner of one of their game shows as news, or when they report that it's a headline that someone said something in an interview from their own interview shows.

> if I get my news from listening to BBC on the radio or whatever, then am I just out of luck?

For getting objective reporting on the BBC then yeah you are, either way. Is that surprising? Obviously they can't objectively report on themselves.

I think they should possibly have a headline on the front page, but it should link to another outlet's reporting. But then choosing the outlet isn't objective either.
