The problem is that the human mind doesn't work like this. You're interested in the stuff you're interested in, and your brain is probably wired to find interesting things.

If you simply say "I'll work during business hours, then spend time with my family, then sleep" you're probably going to be healthy... and disappointed. You cannot switch off your brain, some friend or acquaintance will show you something they did and suddenly it's on again -- you have a new hobby!

Note I don't give side-projects in the sense of "I could make a living out of this" a real consideration. That's what my regular work hours are for. I want to spend the rest of my time doing things I enjoy, not simply look for an angle to make more money.

Thanks. Curious: Were DNSSEC validating clients failing to redirect to clickfunnels.com too, or was the misconfiguration on Cloudflare's end such that they weren't?

If it wasn't DNS, then I guess it must have been the reverse-proxy? In that case, if clickfunnels had uploaded their own public CA (or hosted it on pages.dev, which doesn't add sni.cloudflaressl.com to common-name/dns-name), would the redirection still have been without browser errors?
All of this is true, and none of it contradicts anything in the grandparent post.
It depends on what you mean by quality.

By my logic, it will inevitably lead to lower social media quality.

The social aspect is what drives people to social networks. All of their friends are there.

Many people don't want to just host content, they want chat, video, messenger, photo storage. For those that don't need it widely accessible, group chats seemed to have filled gap between forum <-> text message/email.

There are a lot of features which a markdown editor can have which are somewhat difficult to implement and get right, such as WYSIWYG with css theming, support for latex equations, support for nonstandard features like Pandoc markdown, plugins, support for the textbundle format...

> The estimate for COVID-19 is that roughly 70% to 85% of the population will need to be vaccinated to reach the herd immunity threshold.

That used to be the estimate, however with current vaccines' limited effect on new variants and the extreme infectivity of omicron it seems likely to me that herd immunity is unachievable. At the very least 85% vaccination isn't enough.

Vaccines and booster vaccines seem to be very effective against reducing the severity of an infection though. It's not ideal but it's the best we can do for now. Well, I say 'can' but perhaps it's more accurate to say 'could'.

Potentially. Google also stills updates AOSP too, so you're not 100% reliant on LineageOS et al for these updates.

There's nothing stopping you from grabbing those blobs out of Google's AOSP images and updating them, but there's no way to ensure the abstraction layers work correctly with them unless you test it.

As always, it depends.
I'd be interested to see a poll of pro-vaccine-mandate individuals asking these questions:

What I am saying is that we have for two years already heard that the restrictions and mandates were to avoid overloading a then-unprepared-and-taken-by-surprise health system, but the US still can't even have large-scale availability of rapid tests.

I am also saying that if problem of the health system is lack of personnel, then firing healthcare workers who refuse the vaccine (even after being infected) is counter-productive and can only be seen as a bone-headed political move.

But most of all what I am saying is that we should not accept the policy theater. Making this about vaxxed vs unvaxxed is just yet-another way for governments (worldwide) to hide their ineptitude.

It's been two years already. Countries in Europe with comparable levels of vaccination to the US are already treating Covid as "just a endemic, seasonal respiratory disease". Yet the US still wants to pretend that things just don't get solved because of rednecks and "problematic people" that need to submit to the will of the elite.
What an awesome app
The issue is specifically gerrymandering on the basis of race.

Parties know their votes by precinct, those data are available.

Apportionment of voting districts must be done by population, so the Census is necessary. Discrimination on the basis of race violates multiple Constitutional amendments and voting laws, for which enforcement requires clear knowledge of demographics.

The justirications are somewhat involved, but not strictly circular.

For a discussion of the background, from a conservative viewpoint, see: "Redistricting, Race, and the Voting Rights Act" (2010). This touches on the question multiple times, this passage captures much of the circumstance, though I recommend reading the full piece:

[T]he South's swift and effective circumvention of the Voting Rights Act in the wake of its passage demonstrated the truth of what many civil-rights activists had argued: that merely providing access to the ballot was insufficient after centuries of slavery, another century of segregation, ongoing white racism, and persistent resistance to black political power. In the Deep South in 1969 (and beyond), the alternative to de facto reserved legislative seats for black candidates would have been the perpetuation of whites-only politics.

The exact operation of this effect isn't clear, I think.

If we could wave a magic wand and make it all immediately end, that would be preferable. But that's not going to happen.

That leaves us with two choices. We can let it drag on and on, or we can tear off the bandaid quicker. It's not clear to me which of those two is worse for the healthcare professionals you're talking about.
Contact list has become the standard - You've probably not even noticed it, but Android's "Gboard" has contacts permissions, and will use your contact's names and nicknames as well as e-mail addresses as suggestions.
That's a good question about the enforcement. You'd really only care about the most trafficked dense areas to live in, so gated communities should be less of an issue unless the whole city is made of urban sprawl neighborhoods. If it turns out to be hard to catch, the penalty should take into account the likelihood of getting caught, such that the expected reward from cheating is still negative.

If you're out of the country for an entire year and you want to keep your house empty during an housing crisis, you seem like exactly the kind of person this tax should be levied on. Either rent your home to someone else for the year, or pay the penalty for contributing to the housing crisis.

First of all, I'm not judging you, where did I? I'm arguing against your ideas, which are harmful. Second, how am I basing anything on opinion alone?

I never mentioned modern day commodities or technologies, you are arguing against things I've never said, and are completely omitting my main points.

According to your own arguments and words, do "tribes living off-grid" have "a home, clean water, a surplus of food, friends, family, sanitary conditions, access to healthcare"? It seems like you're completely changing what you're saying on the go.

I'll just say this: that's precisely your error, it is not a philosophical question, it is a material one. It is not ideas we're talking about, it's people and their living conditions.
The individuals chose it for themselves. Yes very selfish indeed. Selfishness when it concern's ones own self is very much a good thing. Its being able to stand ones's ground.

But what's even more selfish is imposing one's will onto another. That is narcissism.

To believe that you know better for another than he knows for himself. That's not just selfishness, thats narcissism.

One thing I've heard multiple doctors comment on is that they are seeing more patients who were successfully managing a condition have significant declines after a bout of COVID, even a mild one. That's definitely a bit of a philosophical question trying to assign fractional responsibility but you can also side-step this to some extent by looking at it as years of life lost — e.g. if someone with a manageable heart disease where patients tend to die 10 years older dies after having COVID, that's something like a decade where they could have been around their friends and family.
I just always put the buf[len] = ‘\0’ to cover myself if I screwed up something. Generally I also use calloc if it’s standalone code as well.

I was copying strings from a file of allowed binary names into a list of char * and also logging the first two parameters to execve to disk, appending. It was fine but 100 times scarier than the same in Go would be.

I have used snprintf and strl* functions when I was doing fancier stuff, but have not tried asprintf. It has been a long time that I was doing large amounts of c code, and then I was either doing binary with Len always passed along or else calling some template library, but I do thank you for the lib recommendations.

My point is if you ask for a good string library that makes it as safe and easy as the same in Go, you will not see a pattern of answers t use well known strlib X.
> The estimate for COVID-19 is that roughly 70% to 85% of the population will need to be vaccinated to reach the herd immunity threshold.

The vaccines aren't completely effective against transmission, so those numbers were already underestimated for the original virus. With the low efficacy against the omicron (and higher transmission rates), I don't believe any amount of vaccination alone would be enough to stop it (but AFAIK, nobody actually knows it yet).

Still, any amount of vaccination will reduce the transmission rate. What is not clear if it's enough to get it lower than 1.

>> Because fear.

What's funny is... whenever you call an FA (financial advisor) in a moment of panic... they answer always is "don't act emotionally and stick to the plan". Maybe a real "robo-advisor" should just be a chatbot that responds to any message it gets with "HODL".

>> Because unfamiliarity.

This one is going to be interesting to watch evolve and I see it becoming less of an edge for financial advisors. More and more, we are seeing retail investors gain familiarity (not saying knowledge... but at least familiarity) with financial markets through blogs, social media, etc. I think we are moving to a world of more self-directed investors than advised investors.

Starting from right now, it's no longer an option for you, if your share of parenting responsibilities is a fair one and you don't just dump the caregiving of the baby unto your wife.

Thing is, all of these are simple enough that anyone with a tiny bit of financial knowledge or Googling can do it for themselves. Sure a lot of people don't bother, but when your investment size starts going up the 0.25%-1% commission is a LOT of money.
