Over the past couple of weeks I've been diving into WebGL, and even at that level of abstraction (several layers higher than the GPU itself), the incredible complexity involved in rendering stuff to the screen becomes apparent. It's truly amazing.
What's still unclear to me: can you just grab an encrypted device (cold) and decrypt it? Or does the attack require a "live" device i.e one where the passphrase already have been given and the device is online?

These numbers are not even remotely comparable. The CDC number includes ages groups that are much more likely to have severe infections. The CDC number you cited is also based on hospitalized cases, which select for severity

I am a huge fan of the checking/budgeting features of Wealthfront. Does anyone know of a good competitor in case I'll have to jump ship?

For those who don't use it, it allows you to create categories and automatically deposit money into those categories at some interval. Then you can easily transfer between those categories.

I use this so that I can put some money away for expected expenses like taxes and a new car and also to budget for fun so I known what I can actually afford.
Might be for ease of use (fitting MAC addresses with spare bits) and/or security, like residential subnets are supposed to be one (/64) suffix each (with from /56 to /48 per customer).
Which can also be done with zero downtime to the VM.
For starters having a masters or PhD implies _less_ programming experience, generally speaking. Its a huge plus for a variety of positions but IME PhD or masters candidates were always a little more raw engineering wise. The way you get good at coding solutions quiclky and on the spot is by writing a lot of code.
>The integrity of a set of related keys requires that either all keys exist, or none exist

Sorry it wasent that clear that part of our fix was such that it no longer matters if all keys exist or none - we reordered the expires such that the invariants still hold even if all the keys dont still exist
My understanding of expiry is - its not guaranteed when keys are expired if they are not accessed - but if a looked up keys TTL is hit it will not be returned - which is all we cared about

I hear that a factor of a 100X is common. The system is made so that the least amount of effect are reported.

The doctor dismissed the possibility of a causation by the vaccine, this case is not reported even if the person almost died.

Is covid still worse than the vaccine with Omicron, I don’t know, probable. But I know that most side effect are not reported.

A crazy thing is that the Myocardis rate can be reduce 3X by a 2 second procedure at vaccination (verifying that the injection is not in a vein)
> vaccinated vs unvaccinated.

Unvaccinated is two groups that are wildly different:

Those who've had Covid and those who haven't. Depending on where you are, unvaccinated may be majority share recovered, in which case this is an incorrect statement:

It's pretty bizarre.

There's a bunch of youtube channels with various takes on "starting from scratch". It seems like a mix of things that are very hard to bootstrap (metal being a big one!), and things that were more coincidental (lathes, saddles and riding gear, spinning looms).

Having a modern high school math education would make you the greatest mathematician in history up to about Newton, but more practically speaking I'm thinking that if you understood the principles behind good charcoal, a wood lathe, and how concrete and mortar actually work you could probably kick civilization up at least a few hundred years.

I'm envisioning something like this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IShxXtAev9U although they do rely on 18th century metals there you could start from less.

There's a great clickspring series where he thinks about what kind of knowledge and tools would be required to build the antikythera mechanism, I think that's a great example of "master tradesman that got surprisingly far by dedication to a few small areas, but then that knowledge was lost".

I suspect that Facebook has helped more people with their free internet initiatives than it has hurt regardless. It sucks some users got burnt due to leakage of paid traffic or bad communication/configuration/deal negotiation with carriers but those still seem to be just a fraction globally.

Susan Headley! Wow. She got her 15-minute fame, in form of the Internet.
Assuming you're talking about Rogan here, and not one of his guests. He doesn't pose as anything, certainly not as an expert on topics that he's not. So everything besides MMA. Seems to me that you've never listened to his show. He never debates scientists or academics on their areas of expertise. He asks questions.

And your final line about him being dangerous because he inspires people to have opinions about things they are not qualified to assess... Utter garbage. First of all, you don't know anything about his audience, their qualifications and their opinions and conclusions. Second, this line of thinking would extend to all media. Here, let me give you a contemporary example:

- Masks aren't necessary, just wash your hands

- Wear masks

- Closing schools is good

- Closing schools is bad

- The vaccine stops the spread
- Don't need masks if you're vaxxed

- The vaccine was never meant to stop the spread, sorry you interpreted it that way - Fauci's own words (how many people died because we were told that the vaxxed don't have to worry about infecting anyone any more?)

- Wear masks even though you're vaxxed

- Get the Vax to save others even though it doesn't stop the spread

The mainstream media has been a pile of hot garbage and endless contradictions during the pandemic. You're expected to just take everything they say at face value and "trust the science". That right there is what's truly dangerous.

The media and government should be honest and explain that "the science" is far from conclusive, rapidly evolving, and that there are many unknowns. Instead, they of course assume that everyone is a moron and must be told what to do.

The idea that Rogan is dangerous because some morons may do whatever a guest tells them to do is full of hypocrisy. That, and neither Rogan nor his guests actually tell anyone what to do. But they may inspire people to ask questions and dig deeper. And the fact that this is so frowned upon in this day in age, is the tragedy of our time.
Perhaps it would be better to merely tell grade school students that this stuff happens, and only show them when they're too old to be traumatized.
> and there’s nothing inherently wrong about its generational evolution

If you make literally mean figuratively as well, it loses all meaning. In what context is that word ever useful? It describes literally everything. Making the language less expressive and more difficult to use is wrong.

In the same sense, is the idea that I now have to look when a particular piece was written to understand how to interpret the pronouns? How does that make the language better?

I'm all for improving the language. Slang, new words, new idioms, have at it. I just don't see how either of these changes improve the language.

I think we are talking about three different scenarios.

You are describing attribution problem. "Solution to the puzzle is no longer a secret, it is a public knowledge. Who was the original finder?". This problem is not really concerned with the proof - there is nothing more to hide, milk has been spilled.

GP is speaking about a different problem. Thief is not stealing the secret - they are stealing the proof that secret exists. In GP's scenario thief hacks GP's machine - which is not necessary, since GP is likely to show the proof to the world himself.

> That means if someone snoops my machine and tries to use my proof to claim that they know the answer, I can spot it as a stolen proof. However, without revealing the treasure, I wouldn't be able to prove that they stole it, because it is equally possible that I stole it from them.

And I was specifically addressing the situation when GP has made proof public. In such scenario thief can point the finger at the proof and claim that they have produced it. Solution described by me prevents thief from doing it, since proof will contain a public key from a keypair thief does not possess.

Here is other poster, presenting the solution I spoke of in a clearer way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30094271

Spotify is not treating Young and Rogan as peers; only one of them has received an exclusive multimillion contract and extensive promotion, and it isn't Young. Spotify have taken an active decision to promote Rogan, and it is entirely correct that they face consequences for that decision.

> Zero historical materialist analysis. If i was smarter I'd think this is another one of those 3 letter agency funded programs to control dissent.

I think it's a bit much to consider Marxism some inevitable conclusion that all who consider the problems with society eventually will arrive at. That's whig history at best.

It, first of all, requires you to identify with and accept the notion of classes as an part of an ontological category with agency.

It's perfectly reasonable to say no, classes only appear to have human-like properties in the same way a the sun or a thundercloud appeared to be a god with thoughts and wants to people of the past. That is to say, they only exist as idea, within the infinite realm of ideas, and it doesn't even make sense to say they aren't real.

Fiatom // ULTIMATE fiat-crypto aggregator

Fiatom is the solution - it will show the rates of the most popular exchanges and reveal the most beneficial price.
That makes zero sense what you wrote. You're proposing to adjust the numbers twice.

3rd graph.

January 5th (peak):

78 cases per 100k people in the unvaccinated group.

102 cases per 100k people who were double vaccinated

January 26th:

35 cases per 100k people in the unvaccinated group.

37 cases per 100k people in the double vaccinated group.

My claim stands that the vaccinated have the same or higher chance of being infected based on this data.

Basically only the sewing is done by hand now, and that's done with the aid of machines. That alone saves mountains of labor. Cotton has some problems with water and pesticide use, but it's insanely productive today even compared to 50 years ago. Even if you priced in every externality it would probably still be cheaper to buy a shirt today than it would have been 50 years ago.
I think he was using a rhetorical device called sarcasm.
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Articles are increasingly hiding their publish date. Webauthors are arrogantly claiming their blog is "timeless". It turns out that whether the information im looking at is 1 year old, 4 years old, or 10 years old is actually very important in guiding how it needs to be interpreted. If you're lucky, there will be a publish date in "view source".

This applies to programming and current events.
Did you watch the interview? Fox doesn't have to spin anything, it was a disaster. In response to the question "Are they [the members of the sub] lazy?" The mod responded with "Laziness is a virtue in a society that demands we be productive". They also said that they work 20 hours a week as a dog-walker but think they should work less, and ideally would like to teach philosophy.

The anchor asked some incredibly softball questions and the mod did their work for them.
> The issue arises from the spike protein itself. That’s why we don’t see myocarditis from non-MRNA vaccines like Astra Zeneca.

AZ also uses spike, so he's undermining his own argument.

Of course the spike is pathogenic. In this case, though, it could be something else like the mRNA strands themselves or the structure of the lipid envelope causing inflammation. There isn't enough evidence either way for this journalist to confidently assert a single cause.

Is this at all surprising? Spotify paid a lot of money to have Rogan on their platform because he (supposedly) makes them more money. Young gave a request of the "choose-him-or-me" variety, and Spotify honored that request. I doubt Young's body of work really amounts to much money for Spotify.

Did Young really think that Spotify would drop Rogan over him? Would he have preferred to keep the status quo? I believe Young got what he asked for and/or wanted. He's no longer on the same platform as Rogan. That's a win, right?
Yes he is. Why is this a surprise. So is Don Lemon, Cuomo and Cooper. They share opinions not facts.
Probably because it was designed for scale and big companies that can afford lots of hardware don't need to invest on standalone instances.
I worked for an LTO tape drive manufacturer for 20 years, and I never heard about this. I think something else was at play here, although I could be wrong. The drives are often used just as you did, although perhaps not always as intensively. Data is written to tapes, and they are shipped offsite. Basically, WORN (write once read never). The backups are for an absolute emergency, such as a 911 type event where a whole building comes down or a data center burns to the ground.

A few factors which may have influenced what you experienced:

* The quality of the tapes could be variable. In my experience, some branded tapes were significantly inferior to others.

* If the drive ran hot, then that may have contributed. IIRC, IBM's LTO-3 drive ran very hot.

* If you don't write data to the tape fast enough, it won't stream. It'll shoe-shine back and forth, as it runs out of data, repositions backwards on the tape, and resumes writing. I think this might affect the tape head life.
"We are talking about teaching ethics to our kids, and it starts out with the dad and the son talking about when the dad lost his virginity. It wasn’t explicit but it was in there. You see the naked pictures, you see the razor, the blade where the mom is cutting herself. You see her laying in a pool of her own blood. You have all this stuff in here, again, reading this to myself it was a decent book until the end. I thought the end was stupid to be honest with you. A lot of the cussing had to do with the son cussing out the father, so I don’t really know how that teaches our kids any kind of ethical stuff. It’s just the opposite, instead of treating his father with some kind of respect, he treated his father like he was the victim." [1]

> I have done what the law or insurance company wants to see and I have consultants as black sheep.

You hit a great point. The law and insurance companies have a major impact on what companies do.

If it's illegal (and they'll get caught) or the insurance companies say "do this to get insurance or if you don't do it the insurance doesn't cover you" people will make change.

That right there is a way to bring change.

There was non-stop railing against capitalism and pro-socialism cheerleading in that sub, so your conspiracy theory is a poor one.

The reason the sub is getting lots of coverage is because it has exploded over the last year, and because it manages to present its ideas in as poorly a light as possible.
When I’ve recruited for niche roles, which these are a lot like, I would hyper target with good results. Meaning go after people on a particular team at a particular company, or recruit from people who graduated from a specific program or lab in a school. If you can narrow your search criteria down to a specific set of names, you can often just reach out directly and do a better job at it than a recruiter. Conferences used to be good for this, too, and sometimes meetups.
> How can we push harder to find better than average candidates?

Just ask them where they needed to solve a problem with an algorithm, why/what they did, how they implemented, tested, validated. What other problems could use the same approach, how could the problem be changed to invalidate assumptions, and so on. etc.

(While writing I realised that this fails in cases where the interviewers are not competent enough to follow along in random directions, which then gives the rationale for a leetcode quiz - basically a battleship-game that the interviewer prepares in advance so that he can pace the discussion and grade the candidate.)

There can be hundreds of different versions for each popular library, and as a dev, I need customers to use exactly the version that we tested against.
There’s a whole ecosystem and tool chain around lockfiles and deterministic builds for a reason.

And specifying a version range isn’t sufficient, because humans will and do get it wrong - either the one specifying the range or the one publishing a new version.

Ultimately, browsers cache static assets anyways. So this idea only helps the user’s first page load for a given website.

Having a real world problem to apply it to makes learning math far easier. I spent a lot of time in 2020-1 tutoring kids in math and the first thing I did was find out what they were into and then worked math into helping them do that thing.

If you've got time for the long game, consider building your network by mentoring STEM students.

Years ago at a previous job my boss donated a CAD workstation and some CNC time to the local public highschool's robotics team, then coordinated with their supervising teacher to have a couple employees (including me) mentor there one afternoon per week for the school year.

As a mentor, I helped students understand compiler errors, recommended writing a function instead of repeatedly typing the same code, and also gave more advanced advice, like explaining how PID loops could prevent gears from stripping. It was rewarding to see these students both grow and enjoy the learning process.

It also paid dividends for my boss when some of these students applied for summer internship at our company, which eventually led to several excellent full time hires after college, including referrals our interns had made to their fellow engineering students.

While it took a couple years to pay off, those few hours of community service introduced us to quality people that no jobs board could have.
