I have never seen brainstorming sessions be useful, and they've been heavily in vogue since I was in pre-school.

Nobody ever actually prepares for them, so they don't have the slightest idea what the real constraints of the situation are. So huge amounts of time are wasted getting on the same page, then more as somebody bolts off on an impossible tangent that upsets the whole applecart. No one ever takes any notes, and every participant comes away with a different understanding of what was decided.

A singularly useless endeavor.
It is also a fun little game to program/make a clone of

I made one simple web page with JS, HTML, and CSS, and now I can play it whenever I want (or show it off to my friends who introduced me to Wordle a few days ago).

Essentially Wordle is just Hangman with a neat twist.
It's a lot harder to accurately determine if someone has convalescent immunity than it is to just give them a couple shots.

And then immunity is not a binary or linear response. Vaccination can still boost immunity in the case that someone has recovered from infection.
By the way, the supreme court case where this phrase around shouting fire in a theater comes from was overturned over 40 years ago. From https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/11/its-tim...

> Today, despite the "crowded theater" quote's legal irrelevance, advocates of censorship have not stopped trotting it out as thefinal word on the lawful limits of the First Amendment. As Rottman wrote, for this reason, it's "worse than useless in defining the boundaries of constitutional speech. When used metaphorically, it can be deployed against any unpopular speech." Worse, its advocates are tacitly endorsing one of the broadest censorship decisions ever brought down by the Court. It is quite simply, as Ken White calls it, "the most famous and pervasive lazy cheat in American dialogue about free speech."

The labeling for the data is tricky. If you don't actually dive in you will miss it.

8% are not vaccinated at all.

27% are not vaccinated, partially vaccinated or unknown status

50% of the ICU cases are not vaccinated, partially vaccinated or unknown status.

It is good to understand that 1/2 of the people who come into the ICU are reported as unknown vaccine status by default because they can't speak or fill out paperwork.

I use to produce these reports for this government and the ones before
for years . Presenting facts a certain way is what happens and reports get rescoped when the data doesn't agree with the intended outcome.
Why don't you just take a vacation to another country and buy a much cheaper hearing aid there?
Also, Postgres predates CLONE_THREAD, so when Postgres was created, the distinction was even more potato-potahto than it is today.
The canonical link meta tag solves the SEO issue. Google uses this hint to help it understand which is the URL that you want to have indexed and avoids duplicate content. In this case you would add this meta tag:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/resource/" />

Hi there Dang, I've been using the name 'RealityWinner' since before the person Reality Winner came to light. I can verify that with my long standing github account with the same username.
> However, we have a 30/70 split in number of covid hospitalizations, with 30 being vaccinated people, in countries where the split in

Is that vaccinated? Fully-vaccinated? Or "up to date" (i.e., whatever round of boosters are being pushed)?

The point is, the narrative has pushed the importance of "the science". Yet so much is actually not consistent with science / scientific method at all. Ffs, they can't even get the definitions and language right.

These aren't occasional lapses. They're non-stop. I hear what you're saying. However, it still doesn't address the negligence. After two yrs it's not incompotence, is it? Still?

". Given this data the most effective strategy is to just vaccinate everyone without what is effectively a pointless distinction."

So...we don't need science. Just everyone bend over and do what the authorities say, when they say, and how they say it? That's it? Kids? New borns? And everyone else on the low side of risk? Just because?

You can't have your science and dismiss it too.

Yes, bluetooth has plenty of unfortunate limitations. For example, there is no standard high-quality bidi audio codec in bluetooth spec (see https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/duplex-high-quality-audi... for detailed explanation).
The author also did a great job of building a game that scales. No server, everything is in a very small amount of HTML and JavaScript, easily cached. He can have the world play with no ads at very low cost. Of course, this means people can easily cheat, but where's the fun in that?
One interesting nugget here is that for the first time 'Service' actually had positive margin. That is actually quite significant. For many OEM 'Service' is a huge money maker. For Tesla it has been a huge money loser because their fleet was growing so quickly and that means you always have far more vehicle under warranty then off warranty.

Another interesting part is that Musk has now hit basically all of the compensation package. That was 900M~ in 2021. This will drop to 50M~ next year unless there is some new plan with targets that hit instantly (unlikely). So those are 850M that will not be there next year. That will have a nice effect in addition to the continued sales growth.

Energy continue to grow overall but continues to not actually make money. I really hope they can fix that at some point. It seems really the whole solar thing is dragging down that division.
The "worst-case number of guesses" objective considered here is pretty insensitive to differences in quality of the decision tree. It seems to me that a better objective would be: minimize the number of secret words that take more than 6 guesses (hopefully to zero), then minimize how many that take 6 guesses, and so on.
Meh. YouTube is only one site among millions. They're a profit-seeking business, not a charity. They're under no obligation to host Dan Bongino's video content, given that they have clear policies against posting health-related content that's widely discredited as misinformation.
I've been doing some test runs with HP multijet fusion prints, and I think that would be a great technology to use for case like this. You likely would need a couple-few tries to get it right, but it cleans up very nicely. I really don't like the look of FDM printed parts, so that aspect of it really appeals to me.
The demo does not disclose any coordinates—only verifies a proof that you know the coordinates. Not even the demo knows the coordinates of a valid proof that you submit (check the source - there are no coordinates present).
You could argue that it is explicitly censored as even illustrated/animated CSAM is illegal under the PROTECT act.
This comment just feels like you are only pointing fingers at large corps while ignoring the massive numbers of smaller niche websites (like forums) run by people with small pockets, which allow differing amounts of diversity of discussion.

The Facebook/Twitter backlash is pretty far along and some people have migrated to Gab, Parler, Truth, etc. They are low SNR for me, so I don’t care to join them, as much of the US hasn’t either.

This country was founded 2000 years before the modern internet and discourse was fine back then. People can invite others to their houses. There is still a town square concept, although it is increasingly private property (because governments are outsourcing lots of their functions). There is almost no barrier to entry to create a news/media company from scratch.

But even then people were ostracized from communities/families and people were kicked out of bars/homes or arrested or sued for their words — I get the feeling that those who advocate for maximum freedom don’t have a good understanding of history of the USA.

Yes, large corps can affect discourse, but it is because humans are averse to using the scarce attention / memory they have. We don’t like the cognitive load of changing social media platforms every 2 weeks.
Naw. This is an emergency, right? You don't need any of that. You just need people that are trainable enough to handle covid surges. Medical students, nurses, hell maybe even veterinarians... use your creativity.

If hospital capacity was an issue caused by covid surges, we'd have fixed it already.
The mistaken premise in these debates is the implication that we're all equal in the public forum.

Of course we aren't. That's why newspapers and media outlets of all kinds should be regulated. Any one individual's views are insignificant compared to the fourth estate firepower of think tank funders and media billionaires of all varieties.

There is no equivalence here. The latter can dominate and define public conversations and opinions in a way that most of us can't even imagine, never mind match.

Free speech and monopolistic concentrations of money and media power simply cannot co-exist. You can have one or you can have the other, but there is no way you can have both together.

And without free speech all you have are distortions generated by very powerful people with very loud bullhorns, who will be front and centre about their views some of the time, but deniably covert the rest of the time.

In that kind of environment the concept of censorship is a distraction, because the "freedom" to say what you want - as if it has any real influence at all - is an illusion anyway.
I saw on one of NASA's videos, an astronomer also commented that many of the bio-signature gases they would look for in exoplanet atmospheres are also best seen in the infrared. There's going to be a lot of interesting research coming out of this.
Pfizer would be smart to not push for mandates -- as would anyone else wanting to see more vaccinations, period. More people would probably get their vaccine by choice if it were not forced on them. WE have known this for a long time. Glad they are catching wind of how this all works, psychologically.
It's not unusual for required training for employees to be mandated in the aftermath of, say, a class action lawsuit. So maybe it wasn't the case when you were there, but became that way later.
Where is the Kickstarter?
Sure, there is a general assumption that you, the person taking the training, aren’t actually a bad person who has urges to do illegal things. Would you like to take training assuming you are capable of these things?

Maybe there are bad people in the class but you can’t assume that.

But I have been in training where they give basic dating advice, like if someone makes an excuse that’s as good as a “no.” If they are interested they’ll find a way to reschedule.
Can't the seller simply decide not to participate in the program and choose it's own pricing? It can still be sold via Prime & FBA.
> Why the all-caps brands for these? Is there some belief that it stands out more or something?

In some cases it may be the only thing the person knows how to do. When I texted something to the person who recorded my electricity meter in Shanghai, I got back the response "哈哈，THANKS".
If that was the case the doctors would see that the vaxed getting admited would have a higher death rate than the unvaxed as they would only admit those most likely to die from that group. If they did have a higher death rate then the stats and the doctors experience would reflect that and so the doctors would not heavily select for the unvaxxed. Though there is the possibility in your hypothetical that even the vaxxed with worse symptoms on average than the admitted unvaxed have a better chance of survival than a less symptomatic (when admitted) unvaxxed but if that's the case it pretty much shows the doctor are behaving correctly in a 'bias' of admitting unvaxxed.
> Radio's best currently working business model, is the Patreon model

Exactly what happened after a "political" purge and ensuing mass resignations at Polish Radio 3 - radio personalities went to form (both internet only) Radio 357 and Radio Nowy Świat which rely on supporters on Patronite (Polish Patreon equivalent).
Can you verify good flow of solder on a BGA without an x-ray? Do you just reflow it for the prescribed time and see if it works?
I think this could be a good teaching tool for why some words or phrases are offensive.

For example, I personally don't find the word sucker or the poop emoji offensive enough to get flagged. Maybe I'm missing context? With this tool, I don't get a chance to learn about my inappropriate words/emojis.

Also another feature I would like to see are suggestions on what phrase or word is better.

For example, when talking about blacklists and whitelists, you could suggest using the words denylist and allowlist as alternatives. Or when you write "the food tastes like (poop emoji)" it could suggest, "I disagree with the taste of the food".

nit: you mentioned you built this tool in a month but the copyright reads "2020-2022".
You are describing bullying, not free speech.
Thank you for the work you are doing.

Although I acknowledge that moderation is absolutely required to keep online communities on track, I also believe that moderation should be fully reviewable.

The best approach I've come up with is that moderation results in a label (such as "spam", "hate speech", "incivility", "misinformation", etc...) being applied to a user's problematic post. New users to an online community would have a standard set of filters applied to their account to achieve the default "moderated view", but would have full control to manage their filters and see (or not see) whatever content they want.

It's absolutely terrifying how welcoming people are to let large central actors dictate what they are allowed to see and hear. As an example, during the whole GME situation last year, the WallStreetBets discord server was taken down for "hate speech", conveniently at the same time that community was causing millions of dollars of losses for certain corporations. If you normalize the unquestionable removal of content, it will be used to suppress content that is contrary to the interests of powerful central actors.
I worked at two Fortune 250s (both publicly listed) in completely different industries.

Both had antitrust training for all corporate employees not just leadership. I believe —but have no data—that this is common among publicly listed companies.
“We find that newspapers from larger schools, located in wealthier, educated, and urban ZIP codes are more likely to be classified as high quality. We then demonstrate that the filter's measurement of quality is unaligned with other sensible metrics, such as factuality or literary acclaim. We argue that privileging any corpus as high quality entails a language ideology, and more care is needed to construct training corpora for language models, with better transparency and justification for the inclusion or exclusion of various texts.”

So better grammar and use of language?
As an AdSense user, if you don't use the maximum allowable number of ads (regardless of content length), Google literally emails you to suggest you add more ads. Their documentation encourages you to maintain a reasonable ratio of ads to content at risk of being shutdown, which pushes out page length. They push for unique content (so writers differentiate with personal stories), they measure time on page (longer details, pictures), etc.
You sold that batch of mugs, but that's it.
Measurable but insignificant. It would take about 10^29 joules to speed Venus up to a 24h day.

The Chicxulub impact is estimated at 10^24-10^25 joules. So we need 10k-100k Chicxulub impacts in such a way that the energy is perfectly translated into Venus’s rotational energy.

That’s what, a billion tons of antimatter-matter reacting?

I don’t think we’re going to have a 24 hour day on Venus anytime soon.
The problem is that the mouthpiece is assuming a monopoly over truth. It is utterly arrogant for any entity to do so. Let the talking heads debate, and the minds of men and women in the world decide. If we abandon faith in each other to discern for each his or her own self what truth is to be, we run the risk of traveling down the path whereon Free Thought and discourse is no longer celebrated but discouraged by ever-present and ever-domineering structures of power, damning future generations to totalitarianism.
Now if only the people behind diapers.com made a comeback.

This whole thing was sparked by that case where Amazon priced out diapers.com to make them go bankrupt - only to turn around and buy diapers.com
Because it can create any product that is selling well, and at any price point, because it _also_ has the right to subsequently raise _your_ price.

You're selling dongles for $20. You sign a contract with Amazon. It realizes that dongles are lucrative, and starts getting them manufactured. Hey, it can sell dongles for $20, too. But then they're competing with you, because you both sell $20 dongles. So, solution, they raise the price of your dongles to $25, so yours become instantly less competitive.
> we can invent stuff they haven't thought of

Except you're not inventing things, you're discovering things. That's a big difference. The best way to discover if something works, is to put it into the hands of customers as fast as possible while minimizing your expense at doing so.
It's amazing that some politician hasn't been screwed by paypal and launched an initiative to rein them in.
I much rather launch 5 9m telescopes then one 15m telescope. And work on the technology to build even larger one in space in the generation after that.

These mega project that cost a gigantic amount and are hilariously oversubscribed are not actually the best return on investment in my option.
Amazon is a huge bureaucracy.

Some parts of it (FBA, AWS) have done wonders for democratising access to cutting edge business tools.

Other parts of it are rent-seeking.
Nope. You still have the right to price your own future batches of mugs.
'Just wear a mask and don't tell anyone': Workplaces are filling up with sick

The ICU stat is tricky. They classify anyone who they don't know their vax status as non-vaxxed. Many people who come into the ICU can't speak, fill out paperwork. They are classified as non-vaxxed. By the time they recover enough to share their status they get transferred out of the ICU.

Probably the most misleading stat of them all.
The issue to me is companies are not perfect machines and letting machines chewing up human beings is an issue that humans beings can address and solve. I think more people should stand up when they face unfairness, regardless of they face it or somebody nearby, also communicate and help each other. I don't think when people have accept their fate and go to the next job, they are relieved and not bringing the emotional baggage. People (ideally) should be changing jobs for a change or a new challenge, or better pay or things appealing them more in a new job, not escape from another.
Apple's marketing and developer documentation usually refers to x86-64 as "Intel". Since Intel makes the only x86 CPUs legally allowed to run macOS, I suppose it's not completely silly. 'uname -m' says x86_64.

According to Google, the only mention of "amd64" on developer.apple.com (excluding the forums) is here[1], where they refer to which Ubuntu image you should download to set up an Ubuntu VM on "Intel-based Mac computers".

"the biggest problems in drug development are not really solved by having faster access to protein structures ... we have far bigger issues with target selection (does this idea of ours really do anything against the disease, in the end?) and with unexpected toxicity (what else does our candidate do in real animals and real humans?) Those last two are where that 90% clinical failure rate comes from."
> If NYT could provide a remedy, what would that remedy even look like?

I don't know if we can even consider the NYT a reliable source. After all, it was the NYT's fabulist Walter Duranty that covered for Stalin's forced starvation of 7 to 13 million people in former Soviet countries [1], and actively wrote for the benefit of communism, rather than the truth [2]. And, for his deception, received a Pulitzer Prize [3]

Some comment have given a somewhat correct reply:

Some of the maid where indeed expected to also do "night duties" if asked. It was not a racial power stuff. It's was more a problem with a sort of "cultural prostitution" witch was everywhere in Ethiopia. The maids where still primary maids and not prostitute, and to be fair, the same problem also did exist in Europe at the time of Agatha Christie (How many European maid had become pregnant and then fired ?).

I thinks than it's now worst than in the 90's because Ethiopia had sadly become a tourist sex place since then. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Ethiopia
They raised the price of his goods so that they could sell their own product for cheaper.
Yes, the article almost perfectly misses the point of brainstorming. The studies quoted were for groups solving puzzles, not groups designing tools or products. Puzzles have solutions, products can be entirely abandoned.

Almost zero of the brainstorming meetings I've ever attended were of the kind "How do we solve the well-defined problem X", and were almost exclusively of the kind "What do we want to do in the area of <subject>?" or "Can we agree on needs to be solved, and deal out problems to individuals?".
It's amazing that these issues are exactly the same on both Airpods Pro and Max. You'd think the Max would have a better software stack given the claimed sound improvements.
Vaccinations prevent deaths and reduce stress on the healthcare system. They work, but they only work when people get them.

Read:
When Did Mandatory Vaccinations Become Common? (article from 2015)
https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/158827

There were 1282 cases of measles in 2019. Around 90% were caused by anti-vaxx hermit communities who freeload off the protections of the police, military, healthcare system, and other services, but live here and put others at risk because magical beliefs makes them "special". If you reject vaccinations, then I suggest you should sign a waiver that you also reject healthcare. Can't have it both ways. "Ounce of prevention."
yeah, you're right. Maybe we should socialize all internet companies. Capitalism has failed, no?/s (some, I'd love more socialism personally, or at least worker-owned co-ops or worker/content-producer in this instance)....

but I mean you need some censureship else you get child porn up there. which makes immutable blockchain horrible for video ...

I think though a more democratic org that all it's users can vote on bans, etc could be more fair...
This is cool. The environments at my workplace have some YAML's so big they cause the IDE to chug hard, so I think I might be able to find a real use case for this!
Please elaborate. I’m curious as to what you think the difference is.
