Very confusing how people seem to keep making the illogical jump from "individuals follow a mask mandate improperly / mask mandates are insufficiently specific to cover the actual means of transmission" to "mask mandates are pointless".

Mask mandates done poorly are pointless. Obviously. But it is completely absurd to conclude that mask mandates writ large are pointless.
No, he hated Spotify already because they only had lower-quality versions of his music. He wanted to take his music off Spotify already, he just used the Joe Rogan issue as virtue signaling to cause a commotion.
And how would my life change depending on whether or not I was in a simulation, or whether or not I was aware of it? I would still have the same problems, joys, limitations, abilities, etc. There is nothing I could or would do differently.

In other words, this is an abstruse and somewhat silly philosophical discussion which has no bearing on my everyday life and world. It seems to me that the brain cells used for such musings could be better put to use solving problems and creating things in the real world.
I believe the EMTALA means a hospital can't deny you emergency treatment. Though what defines an emergency can be kind of murky. They could certainly evaluate most covid patients and send them home with Tylenol, or make them sit in their car while they let gunshot wounds in. I also think there is government money available for hospitals treating covid patients, so it is in the hospital's interest to not turn them away.

Some anecdotal evidence, I went through cancer treatment starting Feb 2020, ending Feb 2021, with a few scans since. Including one in a few days. I have never had any of my numerous appointments postponed for covid. But I think it is because I am lucky enough to afford to be treated by a hospital with a large cancer department.

Having point in time backups is a good start but I can see ransom-ware adopt to slowly corrupt your data in a way that is reversible but may take months to detect. Your backups going back months will then have this corruption. To detect this application level tripwires may be needed like checksums etc. Finally there is always reputation damage and threats to expose the attack an your data to the public via blackmail. Just because you have backups does not make you safe.

The instructions for producing the spike protein are released by the virus. Your body produces the spike protein, just like with an mrna vaccine. The difference between the vaccines is the delivery method of the instructions (spike recipes.)

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/i...

"In this type of vaccine, genetic material from the COVID-19 virus is placed in a modified version of a different virus (viral vector). When the viral vector gets into your cells, it delivers genetic material from the COVID-19 virus that gives your cells instructions to make copies of the S protein. Once your cells display the S proteins on their surfaces, your immune system responds by creating antibodies and defensive white blood cells."

https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/there-are-four-types-covid...

"Viral vector vaccines also work by giving cells genetic instructions to produce antigens. But they differ from nucleic acid vaccines in that they use a harmless virus, different from the one the vaccine is targeting, to deliver these instructions into the cell. One type of virus that has often been used as a vector is adenovirus, which causes the common cold. As with nucleic acid vaccines, our own cellular machinery is hijacked to produce the antigen from those instructions, in order to trigger an immune response."

https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/how-you-make-adeno...

"The adenovirus goes in and does its normal infection route; all that machinery is intact.. But in this case, the DNA payload that's delivered into your cells is not a big set of instructions for making more adenoviruses, it's a much shorter sequence that codes for the coronavirus spike protein instead. So the modified DNA gets transcribed to messenger RNA in your cells (and that's the exact step that the mRNA vaccines jump in at if you take them), and this mRNA is taken up by ribosomes and translated into the Spike protein itself."

https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/coronavirus-vaccin...

"This class uses some other infectious virus, but with its original genetic material removed. In its place goes genetic instructions to make coronavirus proteins, and when your infected cells do that, these proteins will set off an immune response. Note that this is different than being infected with a “real” virus, whose instructions are (naturally enough) to produce more virus, which go off and infect more cells. No, in this case each viral particle that you’re injected with will be able to infect one cell, and that’s it. "

The virus pollutes the body with spike protein recipes. There are absolutely not spike proteins on the surface of the vector virus.

> It always feels like the most amount of work goes to the least used emoji.

I always feel like those emoji were added on purpose in order to force implementations to fix their unicode support. Before emoji were added, most software had completely broken support for anything beyond the BMP (case study: MySQL's so-called "UTF8" encoding). The introduction of emoji, and their immediate popularity, forced many systems to better support astral planes (that is officially acknowledged: https://unicode.org/faq/emoji_dingbats.html#EO1)

Progressively, emoji using more advanced features got introduced, which force systems (and developers) to fix their unicode-handling, or at least improve it somewhat e.g. skintones for combining codepoints, etc....

> I think the trap Unicode got in to is technically they can have infinite emoji so they just don’t ever have a way to say no to new proposals.

You should try to follow a new character through the process, because that's absolutely not what happens and shepherding a new emoji through to standardisation is not an easy task. The unicode consortium absolutely does say no, and has many reasons to do so. There's an entire page on just proposal guidelines (https://unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html), and following it does not in any way ensure it'll be accepted.
> A human bent over tying their shoe is quite stationary.

Indeed and after the human finishes tying his shoe he steps on to the road. A human driver and a self driving car that can differentiate between different kinds of obstacles would adjust their speed in such a situation.

> Not relevant. Suppose I provided you with a self-driving car that couldn't differentiate a walking person from a paper bag carried on the wind, and yet I also provided convincing evidence that this car would reduce traffic fatalities and injuries by 30%.

> That's the real question we're facing, and the real standard of evidence that must be met, so your suggestion that the inability of this car to differentiate things in the ways you think are important is simply irrelevant.

You said that an obstacle is an obstacle so it is clearly relevant. Your car wouldn't ignore the paper bag. Would you use a car that treats every obstacle as if it were a human? Slowing down by every tree/fire hydrant/road sign... imagine getting in to the car that is parked under a tree in autumn and leaves are falling down. The car won't start because an obstacle is an obstacle, as you say. Would you wait for the wind to remove the paper bag from the road or would you leave the car to remove it yourself?

If you need to come up with impossible scenarios to justify your claim maybe you should rethink your claim.

Uh... okay. Not only is this not how you create links in HTML, but it also repurposes an element that actually does exist in HTML[2] for a completely different purpose. Of course, as to not conflict with that element, I now have to remember to type the L in uppercase, which is another aspect that doesn't carry over to HTML either.

It seems the amount they're willing to reinvent is limited to JavaScript.

When the civil war started (presuming this is ex-YU) did rate of inflation really go up that much compared to before? My understanding is it was bad in the late 80s, very bad 89, stabilized in 90 thanks to Markovic, and then resumed going up once the war kicked off.
Not disagreeing with any of your comments about masks; but FWIW, as another person with a diagnosed & medicated anxiety disorder, your (our) body(ies) absolutely do lie to us. It's an inappropriate physiological response (fight/flight/etc) to stimuli. The panic response _is the lie_. It was that realization/training through therapy that helped make my disorder manageable, knowing that just because my body thinks it's in danger of dying doesn't mean it actually is.
Standardized data formats and protocols exist already - see Linked Data and the Semantic Web. They're mostly used by non-commercial data providers because of the aforementioned incentive problem.
I'm also Canadian. It's very easy to perceive nationalistic provocations when they come from other people in other countries. It's much harder to perceive it in oneself, because one takes one's own assumptions and style of expression for granted.

Cars are mostly 1d vehicles in practice, unless they are bumper cars. We try really hard to minimize 2d interactions between cars by stacking multiple 1d environments (lanes) and ignoring the 2nd dimension for the most part. Where we cannot ignore it we try to make it safe by adding turn lanes, roundabouts, traffic lights or building interchanges.

> the best examples of right wing censorship I can think of are all related to sexual morals and porn

While those topics do come up for censorship here in the US, some people are also demanding to remove topics related to race and other interpretations of history, and sometimes for curse words.

For example, two trending topics in the US today are Dan Bongino getting kicked off YouTube and the book Maus being restricted/removed/relegated in a school district in Tennessee, and people complaining from both sides of being censored.

Is it not more advantageous to collect the metadata regarding disagreeable content and shadowban it to decrease engagement?

Shadow-banning legal but disagreeable content seems counter to the mission of a "publish anything that is legal under American law" platform.

I rather like the idea of having a public hosting platform that would allow Americans to publish anything that is legal under American law, but there are many questions about how that would work in practice (including those questions in your final paragraph). I also am not sure how much public support there would be for such a platform once people realize how much near-universally-loathed material is not actually illegal to publish under American law.
They might and maybe that would be good. However, to get to a jury the prosecutor would have to prove that a law was broken and that there's enough evidence against the defendant. If there's no such law there will never be a case.
My memory is somewhat hazy on that. I do recall helping to hook up equipment (cannot recall the brand) to the T1 DSU/CSU for our multiline "adult" ISP, but that wasn't my area of responsibility at the time.

And I am going to take back my "56k in one direction" statement and say: I think we capped out at around 33k on the analogue to analogue connections even though they "supported" 56k so I am probably quoting our crappy marketing rather than our physical capability.
With sufficient flight controller integration and sensors & software the jetpack form factor could be as easy to fly as a self balancing Segway is to ride around. Current semi- autonomous drone software like what we see in the Skydio 2 would be an interesting direction for this tech, one would end up basically riding a drone around at low altitude. I am optimistic for near-future electric implementations and practical progression in this type of e-mobility development.
> Or when U.S. Secretary of State James Baker famously promised that NATO would “not expand one inch eastward” of Germany?

You've fallen for Russian disinformation. This lie keeps getting spread around and corrected. Baker mentioned this to Gorbachev in preliminary talks for the treaty after the fall of the Berlin Wall, as a "what if? what concessions would the USSR then make?" It was then immediately struck down as an option by other US bureaucrats, never made it into the treaty, and Gorbachev never even mentioned it again until 2008 when he said US never promised this but expanding NATO into Baltics and such was against the "spirit" of the talks. One person, even a Secretary of State, spitballing ideas about what a treaty would look like is not even close to any sort of agreement between entire superpowers.

There is more to life than a singular focus on spreading Covid. Life would be robbed of all that is worth living for if every action and encounter we take has to pass the “willing to spread Covid” question.

Very difficult to repair a broken weld properly. Older steel frames were brazed together which didn't affect the steel tubes as much and can be plausibly repaired with map gas and brazing rods.

Broken welds on thin steel tube happen on these bikes because the steel was overheated and compromised. Very difficult even for an experienced welder and you have no idea whether another weld is ready to fail.

The consequences range from mild to catastrophic. If your front fork fails at speed it could be a potentially fatal crash.

Add to that the stripped threads, poorly machined parts, inadequate brakes etc.

Bike snobs have long avoided these trash piles for safety reasons alone. An OK quality bike boom bike from the 1980s will likely outlive you if stored out of the rain.
For what it's worth, that language is a very common way of describing inflation adjustment in contracts, laws, and regulations. It sounds technical, but that's because it tracks the Bureau of Labor Statistics terminology for its data publications directly.

I don't have it in front of me, but I'm pretty sure BLS' website has a calculator. I'd be very surprised if it doesn't use these parameters.
Absolutely horrendous. My kid likes Starfishes. It goes from pretty starfish living to starfish being ripped apart in a span of few videos. I wasn't paying attention when I started one video from him then in a span of 10mins he is now scarred for life. Absolutely no YouTube for kids and for me, I download what I want to watch bc I tend to watch them again but hate their recommendations. Their Algo is simply the worst...WORST.
You added the requirement that it be a single correct answer. I just asserted that there existed a correct answer. You're being woefully pedantic -- a human who can read the text presented to them but no knowledge of unicode was my intended meaning. Grapheme clusters are language dependent and chosen for readers of languages that use the characters involved. There's no implicit feeling, this is what the standards body has decided is the "right way to do it." If you want to use different grapheme clusters because you think the Unicode people are wrong then fine, use those. You can still reverse the string.

Like what are you even arguing? You declared that something was impossible and then ended with that it's not only possible but it's so possible that there are many reasonable correct answers. Pick one and call it a day.

TOTP is not going anywhere for much of the Internet. Hold on while I get a Yuibikey to my dad who thinks "folders can't be in other folders" because that's not how they work in real life.

TOTP is a great security enhancement, and while phishable, considerably raises the bar for an attacker.

The fact that TOTP is mentioned as a bad practice in this document is an indicator that this should not be considered a general best practices guide. It is a valid best practice guide for a particular use case and particular user base.

I'll try it! Thanks
This app has several dog-whistles for TERF hate groups, that are designed to fall just below the threshold of deniability until considered as a whole by someone familiar with TERF hate speech markers:

- Dedication to the color "pink" representing women (classical pre-birth gender roles)

- Defining the gender "women" as exclusively people who were sexed female-only at birth (assumption-by-framing discrimination vs. transgender, intersex)

- Implying that gender is permanently affixed through bone structures to each human body at birth (classical definition that gender == sex)

- Declaring that only binary genders "male" and "female" exist (inflexible binary gender roles)

So I expect that this app will end up banned for promoting hate speech as a result — not because they're attempting to create a women-only space, but because they're attempting to create a social space where TERF hate speech is welcomed and encouraged.
Why do kids even need masks? Like, they aren’t at risk… this is a known fact since like March of 2020. Why force kids to wear them? Who are they supposed to be protecting? Fully vaccinated teachers? Who?
Don't worry, we're slowly circling back to servers pushing out fully pre-rendered pages that don't require any scripts - or make it more convenient to create those, anyway. React's upcoming server-side components will likely be a very popular solution for achieving this.

Interesting, thanks for the information. So it seems bootcamps are not really the same type of quality signal that you would get from a degree and GPA. This assuages my fears somewhat.

As an aside, I always considered git to be in the category of "Easily Google-able Technologies". In that whatever I am trying to do in git, it is generally very easy to find a resource online that tells me exactly what to do. For this reason I actually never really bothered to really "learn" git beyond git commit, git add, git push, etc. It's the same attitude I take towards technologies like CSS. Wanted to hear your thoughts on this as you seem experienced and I have < 3 YOE.
Objects in the driving lane are obstacles, objects not in the driving lane are not. Signs, trees and fire hydrants are typically not in the driving lane, therefore they are not typically problems. Obstacles in the driving lane should trigger the car to slow down and approach more cautiously, regardless of what they are. This isn't complicated and doesn't require any impossible scenarios.
Call it a vibe. I only see a steady decline in living standards in our future and it makes me pause when I think about whether to subject another human being (i.e. my kids) to that.
