Luckily you don't need a crazy conspiracy theory because it's far more likely that Omnicron just mutated into a more successful version like viruses do.
> While I can sympathize with how the student is feeling, the author seems to be forgetting (intentionally ignoring for the sake of their argument) that having a conversation with a student isn't breaking the rules. That explaining the facts to a young woman, nearly an adult, is what is expected of a teacher.

I wouldn't be so sure. I would definitely be worried about being seen as a covid denier or similar. People feel really strongly about this and has strangely turned political, and its best not to discuss politics with your students so that you don't draw the ire of parents that could label you as something you're not

> Young adults should be encouraged to think about this situation, it's the world they are entering.

I just want my children to have a relatively care-free existence in their formative years, much like I had. Children and young people are not without their own low-stake drama but they should not have this weight of forced upon them at that age.

Ravaging the population? It's this exaggeration of the disease that I'm saying we should stop. Just accept it like it's a weird sequel to the flu and move on.

The Nintendo Switch operating system, Horizon/NX, is a capability-based microkernel architecture. It's nowhere near unusably slow. In fact, its performance are pretty good. It does "cheat" a bit in that the whole OS runs on a single core, dedicating the remaining three cores to the game. But that may actually be the most efficient use of the hardware.
Even if that is the case, this is more laudable than other "frivolous" hobbies that rich kids can get into.

I wanted to say Shen will never be relevant or useful without a change to it's licensing model, but looking at the website it seems like that exact thing has actually happened? It's hard to find concrete info so I'd love for someone to confirm, but IIRC Shen was encumbered by some sort of distasteful closed source model previously but it looks like that's no longer the case? Very excited to dive in if that's the case.

One would hope so, but it's generally thought that removing the nuclear reactors require so much structural demolition that it wouldn't be in any shape to be a museum afterwards. The USS Enterprise CVN-65 is the first nuclear aircraft carrier ever to be decommissioned and it's one of the most famous. But it's thought to be impractical to become a museum in its entirety. (Enterprise does have 8 smaller reactors compared to Nimitz 2, so not entirely comparable)
> how does this impact existing contracts?

This has kept lawyers busy for past the few years. The "LIBOR fallback language" was created and then inserted into existing contracts, to address this question. It's like a pull request for a patch. Most of the legacy contracts out there have been "patched" with the "fallback language" at this point, and as of Jan 1, 2022, no new LIBOR contracts are allowed.

The unfortunate truth about e2ee is that most people do not understand what it really means, and what real drawbacks it has, like difficulties in multidevice sync, establishing identify of a chat partner, etc.

Users expect e2ee to magically work just like non-encrypted service, but with encryption, pointing to other services that do that, not realising that it is a security theater more often than not.
> No one's going to have time to read this whole thing to comment here, but I skimmed some of it and I get the impression that this guy wants to comprehensively eliminate "hierarchy" in favor of "freedom."

Ronald Coase has examined this idea and clarified why it does not work. Voluntary hierarchies exist, and we put up with them because a hierarchy-based organization - for all its well-known drawbacks - can oftentimes be more effective than completely free association.
There seems to be a maddening amount of head in the sanding by execs/VCS etc. I work at a company that’s been fully remote for 2 years but they keep trying to target a Return to Office date that keeps getting pushed back.

Just see the reality, accept remote is going to be permanent and invest in making that better for everyone.
Ok, why not, this is what I propose:

Asking the user:

"This record is going to be shared publicly, do you agree to share this information (without revealing your name and address) ?

> [...]

This information can help researchers, doctors and people interested into science to discover new information about drugs and diseases interaction."
Ligatures caught on because users like 'clean' designs where 'clean' means 'the removal of affordances which are not needed by frequent users but are useful to new users'. Your example doesn't make any sense because while the dash arrow attempts to mimic an actual arrow it's not ambiguous that it's two characters and will be understood by a compiler as such. A reading of source code either on a blog or shoulder surfing with this font does have that ambiguity, which is the problem.

It's definitely a benefit but the trade-off is rough - the book itself is 'approachable' in the sense that it's written well in an accessible style. But it's dense in concepts and ideas and smacks you with them right off the bat. A lot of them are much more convoluted when expressed in JS, especially for the first time. Take a look at the sort of challenge the authors had to deal with:

https://sicp.sourceacademy.org/chapters/1.1.7.html#ex_1.6

We're just a few pages in and the original instructive exercise of 'why can't I make my own if out of cond' involves learning the JS ternary operator.
Because everyone who seriously invests money in businesses knows that there’s a performance hit you take as a remote company.

People haven’t been paying for offices for the last ten years for no reason.

Engineering is one segment where this penalty seems to be lower. However, engineers seem to be unable to understand that every other function functions better in person.

The tradeoff you’re hoping to make is that the increase in talent pool outweighs the decrease in productivity. People going into remote should acknowledge this.
"My students can’t concentrate and they aren’t doing the work that I assign to them. They have way less motivation compared to before the pandemic began. "

Yes, that's because there's a pandemic going on that has killed 32,000 Canadians and significantly impacted a much larger number. It's pretty upsetting. The notion that people are only upset because of government restrictions is pretty silly.

"she is much more likely to kill someone driving a car? "

Yeah, we should tell high school students a lot more forcefully that cars kill people. Making cars the backbone of Canadian society is terrible.

"Our children need life on the highest volume. And they need it now."

Wear a mask in school to try to minimize the transmission of the disease, take it off outside, get tested if you have symptoms and then isolate if you're infected. Get vaccinated. This is not difficult. I'm not sure why we need a hand-wringing essay.
> I can say in a written agreement with my workers that they are my slaves, or that

True, but there isn't a long standing practice of binding people to the terms and conditions of a service regardless of fastidiousness on the part of the user (whether that's warranted / reasonable or not).
Outdoor masking should be based on how likely it is you're breathing in someone's breath. At an empty park? Fine. At a sporting event? Probably want a mask.
End-to-end encryption protects children, says UK information watchdog
Of course patients need to agree. It's actually even simpler. When you recruit patients into a study they sign an agreement that is broad and usually includes data sharing terms. Properly anonymized, of course.

Said agreements have previously gone through ethics committees which tend to be extremely strict. They are rarely changed afterwards, since this requires agreement of patients, which is impractical to obtain in all but tiny studies.

The only exception I can think of is Scandinavia. They have national registries where all census information, plus electronic health records, is available to researchers by default, unless you explicitly opt out. Their philosophy is that this is a negligible reduction in privacy, in exchange for medical progress. I must note said records are not publicly open, you need to apply for access.

As a consequence, Sweden and Denmark have some of the best epidemiological research in the world and they've been able to spot pretty odd correlations (e.g. ibuprofen and male infertility).

A common solution is to use employers of record, intermediary companies residing in the country you want to hire in that hire the employee for you using local contracts. Then as an employee you can travel where you want, you will work under the laws of the country your contract was written in.
Remembering Mark Weiser: Chief Technologist Xerox PARC (2000) [pdf]
The wider medical community has been vocal about gun control, because guns are a leading cause of injury and death. The fact that it's not a virus or bacteria is arguably a pointless technicality, incidental to saving people's lives. The people who catch the 'bullet' disease are treated at hospitals by doctors.

You may not think it's appropriate, but many doctors disagree. There's nothing in that indicating it's politicized; people may want to politicize gun control, Coronavirus, and lots of other health issues, but that doesn't make the health institutions political for dealing with it. (They also want to politicize the CDC and every other democratic institution (the Post Office, etc.).)
I personally believe birth rates are falling not because of easy birth control, but because the Earth is already extremely over populated and resources are increasingly scarce per capita.

If anything, easy birth control is simply making the population correction softer than it would otherwise be, e.g. through war and famine. If we're lucky, our population will continue to decrease relatively peacefully and painlessly to a sustainable level, or until we open up new frontiers of resources and people feel like they have enough breathing room to start expanding again.

True for steering, but an EV can give you a very direct response to accelerator control. Press the "throttle" and it just goes. Just a different experience.

Omicron is spreading rapidly for a wide variety of reasons, but not least among them is the fact that it significantly escapes any prior immunity gained via vaccination or infection with a prior strain of the virus.

It’s not at all clear to me why we’d assume that this will mark “the end” - if anything this seems like a good indication that we’ll see future strains with this measles-like contagiousness that significantly escapes any prior immunity gained from Omicron. And this is on top of the fact that immunity to coronaviruses in general does not seem to be particularly long-lasting.

At which point, unless we have significantly invested in hiring a lot more nurses and creating a lot more hospital beds (which I see no signs of), we will be looking at bringing back at least some restrictions in many jurisdictions to avoid having to cancel many medical procedures that have spent the last 2 years getting canceled repeatedly.
It isn’t that difficult to sort out issues wrt to employment laws. The bigger issues are probably due to data sharing/privacy concerns, threat of legal action by local Governments and problems with teams working in very different time zones.

Rule of law lasts only so long as the laws are accepted by juries. If the laws drift too from from public acceptability, the people will weaken rule of law on their own terms.
The troubling result is that vaccines have been forced upon [majority] of the people to whom it has no public interest effect - the existing covid vaccines (except SinoVac for which there is no reliable data) don't reduce the spread nor affect hospitalization rate for most as the most have close to 0 chances of hospitalization to start with.

When it comes to spread the vaccines may be even making the situation worse as the infected vaccinated people spread virus at the same level as infected unvaccinated while having less symptoms for the vaccinated means higher chances of them walking around spreading it.

>there were very troubling results from the clinical trials that were swept under the rug

this is why the clinical trials aren't going to conclude until few years down the road as operating under EUA is basically get-out-of-jail-free card for the BigPharma here.
> People feel really strongly about this and has strangely turned political

How do you think that that happened?
Same. I’ve been remote for close to a decade now. If I had to find a job, I’m not sure I could go fully remote. Sure, flexibility to WFH is great, but having no office at all is not something I want to continue doing forever.
It’s interesting how divergent opinions on attending in person is for work vs school.

At this point though the ship has sailed for the work debate. Going into the office to do zoom calls with people at home means the pros of office are mostly removed, while the cons remain.
Could you prove this? Specially education. It seems to me that educated communities bring investments of sectors that need some specific skills.
We should then work on enabling people to fly with no climate impact. For example, using zero emissions energy to synthesize jet fuel. The goal should be to enable people, not to block them.

Well until they know what it is, they don't know. Didn't the CDC say it was psychosomatic? Seems a bit widespread for that to be true.
There were a couple of points I keep thinking about:

SPOILER ALERT

1) Where they are navigating broken ice on a heaving ocean and Shackelton casually mentions that he hadn't slept for over 100 hours as he was trying to pick a safe route through the ice (I expect people would argue that is highly likely to kill/drive you insane).

2) Where a wave breaks on top of their small boat that is so high that they can't hear it yet and Shackelton initially thinks the white crest way above them is actually a break in the sky indicating clearing weather.

And I have a sore neck because my keyboard/monitor arrangement isn't optimized.
The fact that laws can't (or just don't) address purpose is a major shortcoming. IMO, the preamble to the US Constitution is its most important part. Defining purpose and scope gives later judges clear guidelines on how to handle future ambiguous cases and people who think they're clever for finding technical loopholes.
Use maximum leverage with minimal down payment and know that if the coin flip goes bad you won’t get another house for 8-9 years while you work through foreclosure and possible bankruptcy.

Also at 20 you can have 4-5 room mates in a shit house and that should pay for your rent
> You should be learning that stock market corrections or bear markets are normal and nothing to worry about.

People are increasingly holding their money in stocks even close to when they need it (e.g. retirement) because rates for safer bonds have been mostly below inflation. Of course the market can go down, if you get really unlucky, it can take a few decades to recover, but that hasn't happened for just short of a hundred years now (as long as since the last major pandemic).
No, they'll get bad ideas and try to implement them even more badly.

Turbo Pascal also supports overlays, which allows you to chunk up your code and swap it into memory. I genuinely enjoy using the Turbo Pascal IDE on either my 1984 Kaypro or the monster 16-core “Zedripper” Z80 laptop I built. It’s great!
Yeah it's really frustrating how long we've taken to acknowledge that covid is airborne. At least in the US, we should have had free n95s mailed to everyone. As much as I would love vaccines to be the end of this, we still need NPIs like high quality masks and not stupid stuff like 6 foot social distancing that everyone got sick of and no one follows.
And you can get a cold more than once. What's your point? Omicron is a mild illness, especially if you're vaccinated. I'm not sure why we should keep acting like we were in mid 2020, when we didn't have vaccines at all.
I think most "remotes" are within time zone-proximity.

The employment regulation burden is also massive for going truly global-remote.

Australia and NZ for example have strong employment laws AND do not overlap time zone-wise with most of the rest of the world. We have some great talent here but it's often too hard to make it work.

Disclaimer: I made https://rafo.com.au to collate remote jobs that work for Aussies & Kiwis.
Consul is much older than 4 years old (public availability in 2014; 1.0 release in 2017, with a lot of sites using 0.x in production long before). And the fact that they didn't encounter this pathological case until Q4 2021 tells us that they got a lot of useful life out of BoltDB. They also were planning to switch over to bbolt back in 2020[1].

The developers at Hashicorp are top-tier, and this doesn't substantially change their reputation in my eyes. Hindsight is always 20/20.

As a native english speaker I found it rather trivial to parse without even trying. There's commas, which separate the couple of clauses. The direction of the sentence doesn't change or anything like that. It's not as if a comma should have actually been a semicolon. 'and shortly' could have been a new sentence but honestly it connects better with the conjunction.

'cringe' is great as it injects some emotion to an otherwise very dry and long sentence.

Your real complaint should not have been about the construction of this sentence, but at the complete failure of the article to connect bitcoin to this latest economic disaster. In fact some points of the article highlight the irrelevance. I didn't read the source article this one points to, which might actually connect the dots. This one, though, is pure clickbait.
There is no restriction on relative velocities between objects from a given observer as long as all objects have velocities less than the speed of light. You can point laser pointers in opposite directions and the "front" of the laser pointer will recede at "2x" C from the opposite pointer.

In the case of the expanding universe, our standard "flat" space time represented by minkowski space is warped into de-sitter space. As distances increase apparent acceleration increases up to and beyond the speed of light due to the expansion of space time.
...and if the blocks did happened to be misread in a way that deceived the autocorrection, it would be an entirely different string and not something fixable on string level. Single char differences in qr code input tend to be huge. This can only be explained by the QR result getting passed through a pipeline intended for OCR results. An almost depressingly boring explanation. It kind of seems like something that would likely happen in big organisations from disconnect between those deciding and those with their fingers in the code, but it could also happen to a solo.
CME Term SOFR contracts exist to address this. 1M, 3M, 6M, and 1Y Term SOFR rates are published [1]. A typical 3M LIBOR contract can just substitute it with 3M SOFR without impacting the basic mechanisms, like knowing in advance how much interest you will owe over the next period.
