Despite some doctor's advice....

Joe's doctor prescribed him human grade ivermectin, not "horse dewormer." HIS doctor. So HIS doctors advice was to take it, along with monoclonal antibodies, along with vitamins, and other things. He listened to HIS doctor, and recovered, and then told people what HE did. So it's Joe's fault some idiots took horse dewormer after he never mentioned those words? Please show where Joe, actually Joe and not a report of it, once recommended anyone take "horse dewormer" using those words. That was CNN's specific framing and where those words first showed up. They used those words, Joe didn't. Are you aware of that? The first time "horse dewormer" came out of Joe's mouth was in response to CNN's publicly false characterization of what he said.

Haven't heard Jordan's interview yet, but thanks for the heads up. I'm sure there will be something in the 4+ hour interview that I will gain, or will provoke thought, or cause me to go look something up, and some things I don't agree with or learn I was wrong about. Provoking thought is good.
If you don't know the difference between sync and async you're not qualified to solve problems with any realistic level of scale (>10 concurrent users which is a very low bar) or complexity (have you really never had to code logic that uses 2 or more concurrent network calls?). Might be excusable for a junior engineer but definitely not someone who describes themselves as senior.
Nice example of where it is lost in lower context environments.

Most people probably just take it at face value, or read it as implied in the limitations of the medium.

I passingly notice the discrepancy but disregard it as unimportant in this context.

You seem to deeply notice the discrepancy and complain that it isn't fixed every time, preferring always verbose precision over brevity.

In a live-in-person context, it'd be easily handled in seconds of conversation or just body language and intonation. That's all lost here.
Basically every plant chemical (flavor, drug) that humans are interested in is a defense against pests or infections.

There are no “curse words” in Ezekiel. I didn’t say there wasn’t anything lewd or violent in the Bible. The language, while descriptive, is not a literal illustration, as in the school board story.

The board specifically doesn’t want to change the lessons being taught, just the material chosen to teach it because it violates board policies.

Just because a work covers an important topic doesn’t mean it’s appropriate in all contexts, regardless of the quality of that work (e.g. I wouldn’t want my children watching Schindler’s List at their current age, but they should watch it when they are at the appropriate level of maturity).
No one's reported that before so that might really just be you: please file an issue about it over on https://github.com/Pomax/BezierInfo-2/issues with some STR (and obviously os/browser/extensions information) and I can have a look.
Thats not what the article is about. The article is showing the lack of evidence for masks at schools. If transmission isn't impacted by masks, then the severity of covid has nothing to do with the decision of whether to require masks or not.
I love trilium, in fact I think I'm going to start a hosting service for it (built-in syncing mechanism). For a few reasons: 1. Sync to allow the sharing of notes publicly, which allows you to create simple websites very quickly. 2. Instant access as long as you have a browser. 3. As a backup. It's an incredible application and I'm proud to have contributed to it in the past no matter how little.
Legally, it's easy. But getting the HR bureaucracy to go along with it is a long and unpleasant process. The last time I fired someone for doing no work at all and arguing over everything, it took about 8 months.

Unfortunately, my company is not unusual in this respect.
Amazon may be able to determine the source of stickerless comingled inventory like this, but stickerless comingled inventory is treated as interchangeable on the fulfillment side. So if I order an item "Sold by ACME, Fufilled by Amazon" I may receive a copy that was shipped in by "Cyberdyne".

Amazon's tracking will internally tell them I got an item that was sent in by Cyberdyne, but they don't tell me about that.

This as a customer means I can order an item from ACME, that I know is extremely careful about not selling counterfeits, but end up getting a counterfeit, because Cyberdyne is super sloppy, and the one I got actually came from Cyberdyne. Even though amazon can track this internally, as a customer I have no idea the one I got came from Cyberdyne instead of ACME.

For some products the counterfeits may look the same, and even function the same, but cut a lot of safety corners etc to be cheaper to make, and I might only know that I got a counterfeit after it catches on fire, and burns my house down, possibly losing family in the process.

At this point if I complain Amazon can look it up, and point the finger at Cyberdyne, but it is a bit too late by then.

If ACME instead went with the stickered non-comingled option, I will get one of the items that ACME actually sent in, even though they might need to send it from a further away warehouse, if the closer ones only have the comingled stuff.
So these are made for one priority:

> The Department must follow an "Adopt, Buy, Create" approach to software, preferentially adopting existing government or OSS solutions before buying proprietary offerings, and only creating new non-commercial software when no off-the-shelf solutions are adequate.

This explains why software sucks so much in some places (e.g. payroll) there - because when the only software available is bad proprietary software (you only get good software for some specific fields, like email, but bad software exists for every conceivable need), the DoD prefers to spend extravagant amounts of taxpayer money on purchasing that existing solution over developing their own.

1. Get recommendations to good recruiters. Call people you know who have hired engs and ask them if they can recommend a good recruiter. When I was recruiting a large percentage of my business came from referrals and those relationships tended to me much stronger than random companies we picked up.

2. Recruit yourself. You cant just post a job online and hope for the best. It's like dating. If you make yourself look all nice and go out to the bar but dont talk to anyone you are not all that likely to be approached, assuming you're a male. But if you go and talk to people your chances of having a good conversation go way up.

Recruiting is the same thing. Send messages on linkedin. Send emails to candidates. Recruiting isnt easy but the reason recruiters get paid is because this type of monotonous "sourcing" work is boring and its somewhat difficult to find relevant people. If you don't want to pay someone else to do it then you need to do it yourself.

Those are the big ones. Other optimizations can come from making sure you have a good pitch, email and verbal, about your company and the role. Making sure your website is attractive to folks. Basically look at everything you are presenting to the world and think, "If I knew nothing about our company would I respond to this email?".

Hope that helps.

I started reading this thinking it would be about FIX tag/value.

Just bought one. Hoping it lives up to its marketing and I can enjoy a flight on an airplane without discomfort.

I'm triple-vaccinated and absolutely sick of wearing a mask. I agreed with it for the first 18+ months of this but by now I'm just no longer in favor. I no longer believe covid will eventually "go away" and am certainly not in favor of wearing masks for years to come in the hopes that it does.

Those that remain unvaccinated by choice I don't care about. Those who have vulnerable immune systems I have sympathy for but ultimately I don't feel all of society can wear masks forever on basis of their existence. Especially now that it's such a widespread virus that it's basically unavoidable without being a hermit.
Except now you gave yourself the problem of not having a curve that starts and ends at your first and last point. CR are great, but they are absolutely not a "better choice" than Bezier curves in myriad applications.
The argument by the parent is clearly not against regulations in a market economy, they didn't say anything implying that. The argument is against the necessity of government ownership and operation.

> It can be hard convincing people that 1% is a big number.

It's true. My mom only has about $1 million saved for her retirement, which sounds big to anyone who hasn't done retirement planning, but it's really not enough. Growth aside, that's $50k/yr for 20 years. She's paying her advisor 2%/yr. That's $20k/yr, which is a big percentage of her annual income, and he does almost nothing. It makes me sick.
Nothing is secure, so it’s not about that. It’s about accountability .

At the time the parent wrote this those comments hadn't yet been posted.
Blame isn't what we need? There were already regulations banning what happened between us and the Wuhan lab - and there is already "oversight" of the NIH - fat lot of good that did to prevent this research from happening. Research the military/DARPA turned down because they deemed it too dangerous(!)

What's really needed is effective oversight followed up with accountability and enforcement of existing regulation, not more empty gestures and handwaving for new regulations and "oversight" that will change nothing.

Rules without accountability or enforcement are just wishes. At some point you need to go beyond empty words and actually do something. That Fauci and others aren't already under a serious investigation tells you all you need to know about how effective your new regulations and oversight will be :p
Cloth masks get wet after a while which makes it hard to breathe, N95 masks (with or without valve) don't.
Reminds me of (now takeout only) restaurants which have their bathrooms closed "for covid," or public drinking fountains which are still closed "for covid." Not really much to due with covid at this point I suspect. So it may not really be about measuring infections at all, but that played piano makes noise and requires tuning, and so administration would rather just not, and now there is an excuse.
Lovely concrete and succinct example of a variety of strategies to attack performance problems. Very cool.
The Pfizer board is subject to a whole lot of examination from regulatory bodies. They can't just do whatever for money or power like a conspiracy theorist can. People would like to, but these markets are tight and regulated. Milking people on the internet is a new sport with much less oversight and competition.
>It as fixed bug, and a plausible scenario is if someone wants to decrypt a LUKS2 (in and old linux kernel system) which is auto unlocked by a TPM like device.

how's the TPM ecosystem on linux like? On windows bitlocker, it mostly just works, but IIRC on linux you had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get everything configured.
I think they are talking as compared to cloth or surgical masks - and I would agree that the n95 class of masks are relatively easier to breathe in (and also reusable).
Yeah me as well + I wear glasses so I can’t see unless the weather is absolutely perfect (little humidity etc.)
>> we have a condition where those curves are getting progressively closer together, but it's really hard to tell if they exactly touch, and exactly where.

OMG different curves and surfaces becoming tangent at a point is a huge pain. It's tempting to say that it tends to happen at the ends and can be checked for as a special case, or an algorithm tweaked based on that assumption, but then someone will find a perfectly reasonable construction that results in tangency at some arbitrary place and the problem returns.
Do you have a source that quantifies it? Something along the lines of "It costs 5 cents to make a box of macaroni and cheese using gas, but 7 cents using electricity".

I just moved from a condo that used electricity for cooking to a house that uses natural gas for cooking. Same number of people in the household and same amount of cooking done. How much less am I paying? $1? $10? Is it enough to matter?
Tangent, but using the DMV as a horror-cliche anchor is very state-specific.

I have experience with DMVs in six states. Five of those have always been perfectly fine, nothing to complain about. If I'm competent enough to get my paperwork right, it is just a 15 minute process. New York and California even take appointments, no waiting.

I got my license way back when in Tennessee, and they were incompetent jerks, and that's because Tennessee's entrenched political class goes out of its way to make sure government services suck.

In our case, and this was 20 years ago, it was painfully obvious immediately whether the person knew anything about coding at all; we bent over backwards to do anything that would help (they could pick any language, we'd modify requirements, full internet access, etc) and a good percentage would just flounder.
Feasible to build? I smoked rollies with cardboard filters for a decade; each "built" myself.

As for the toxic chemicals, I am also strongly in favor of mandating tobacco-only cigarettes; ones without the cancerous cocktail of additives designed to maximize addiction. That would not only take care of a massive chunk of toxic chemicals but have the very likely effect of making quitting easier for addicts.

As for such a mandate "encouraging littering" - mitigating harm from littering doesn't encourage litter, that's like saying getting rid of plastic bags encourages littering of paper bags. It's such a weird point to even try and make.
> The word “client” is what shook me.

Executioners in the past would often be paid by the people they were set to execute or their families. That payment included the cost of taking care of the body afterwards, and in many cases a fee for services as the alternative to an executioner was usually much more grim and painful, whereas a good executioner guaranteed a quicky and nearly painless death.

What this study does show is that with a booster shot you are offered significant immunity against COVID, including omicron.

The confidence interval is between 10%-60% for the booster, oddly selective of you to pick the highest number. The FDA standard is to have at least 50% VE, with lower bound CI >30% for EUA.

What this study does show is that immunity is trending down and will likely hit 0 within a few months once the antibody response wanes. So yes, omicron does spread easily which is the original point I was contesting.

In addition to this it is well known now that for men under 40 the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine outweighs the risk from the virus: https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/uk-now-reports-myoca...

I think it's a 'large bureaucracies in general' problem, there seems to be a critical mass in any kind of organisation beyond which dealing with them in any capacity becomes like pulling teeth. I don't think public services are necessarily flawed because it's the state providing them, I think it's more that the state is also an enormous bureaucratic organisation and subject to the same issues. When the state creates groups that are enpowered to cut through the internal politicking it can be very effective, for example the gov.uk site that's been praised a lot on HN.

Just look at rail in the UK, it was the butt of contemporary comedy when it was nationalised and it's still a dog's breakfast thirty years after privatisation. It's not the ownership that's the problem, it's the nature of the organisations responsible for providing that particular service. I think the public/private dichotomy is a bit of a false one when it comes to quality of service a lot of the time.
> The space of possibilities is much greater and we somehow need to write software that still works.

But the cost of failure is much lower, and that's why we as an industry can be so mediocre.

Physical engineering organizations have profit margins in the single digits to low tens. Software has margins in the 50s to 80s and marginal unit costs of zero. If any physical engineering organization had employees of the skill of our current SaaS software market, they'd be out of business immediately because no other industry but software can absorb such frequent and dramatic failures.

This rings pretty true to me, thank you for sharing your experience.
While I am generally supportive of electrification efforts as a major tool in combating climate change, I am wary of having a single energy source to my house.

Particularly in light of the grid failures in Texas last winter. We would have been in big trouble without uninterrupted gas service. Running a small (1500 watt) generator to power the blower and control circuits, we were able to heat the house and cook without issue.

The redundancy was hugely important. Granted a rooftop solar+battery system would also suffice, but I'm wondering how long you can run a stove or furnace from those batteries.
You dystopian heck!

Obv you are correct, but thats not the answer I was looking for...

I suppose the 'answer' was "how to ship myself in effectively first class for the cost of shipping a box of rocks, as opoosed to a first-class ticket"

Sadly, what would the economies of scale be if every first class ticket was a pod insert, as opposed to a seat?
I understand that this is a weird question, I've never coded in C, are there any online resources that help me grok OS concepts without a lot of emphasis on hands-on coding assignments.
If Leetcode becomes a credential onto its own, then at least job seekers aren’t asked to retake it at every company they interview for.
Yes! At home I have the pod IP space routed and can connect to pods with out any port-forwarding.
This is how I feel as well, and it seems to be a growing sentiment among liberals who supported the masks and lockdowns for the first year or so.
I'm saying, we should have learned that was a shitty design goal, and put more stringent checks in place to ensure a single upstream developer can't ratfuck literally everyone's Node app, especially since Node has moved beyond being a startup toy and is now critical IT infrastructure for major corporations.

The Go ecosystem is still fucking clownshoes in so many ways, but even they managed to pivot away from "depend directly on whatever random developers barf onto GitHub". The Node ecosystem, by comparison, evinced all the problem awareness of the "this is fine" dog.
People assume that the environment is much more sterile and empty in the winter than it really is.
If you have small children you know what joke masks are in school. Little kids are not responsible adults. They touch their face, take their masks on and off, exchange them with their friends and even eat them.

Pretending that masks on young kids contribute anything to slowing the spread is complete wishful thinking.
Demanding evidence of things we know nothing about in order to consider evidence of things we do know about is a rather tall order, even theoretically speaking.
My kids school district did not require masks but highly recommended them. I figured I would send the kids to school with masks as I did not want to be disrespectful to their teachers who I assumed would be masked out of concern with being around so many children all day. None of their teachers wore masks, so that was the end of that. Essentially 15% of people including teachers and students wear masks. None of the adults (school staff) in their on campus after school program are masked either.
I wish we could all come together and say, "this needs more study" too and admit we might not have enough data to actually make a real decision.
2. that's partially true.

But people don't always control having diabetes. People don't control having cancer. People don't control other forms of immunocompromisation. People don't control being older.

3. I don't think it's an overreaction. You said in 2 that there are vaccines, therapies, masks. These things took a year to get to. If not for the actions in the first year, there'd be many more dead.

You'd have to cut the trees, get them from the forest to the build site, and then make lumber out of them and dry them. Can't imagine it would be that much different.
I don't think it's that combo. I didn't have 1 site crashing ever on chrome Android.

S20 currently.
The 3M Aura+ line is by far the easiest mask (including cloth) I've used, and coincidentally it gives me the best seal.

I don't use them often, just in high risk situations - but they pass the glasses fog test among other things, and I can't tell I'm wearing it after about 15 minutes. All other masks annoy me.

YMMV but it really surprised me as I hate the "surgical style" 3M N95's, these "duckbill" design masks are quite comfortable and breathable in comparison.
