The CDC just published on this, but there were quite a lot of other studies showing this starting from early 2021.

A lot of people wrote them all off as "antivaxxer" talking points since that's what the climate is around this topic, but this isn't a surprise to anyone who was following along (other than the fact that the CDC finally published on this, that was a pleasant surprise).

You can't just compare the overall myocarditis rate from the vaccine with the one from COVID like that. Doing so makes the incorrect assumptions that you definitely will get COVID if you're unvaccinated, and that you definitely won't if you are. Let w=the chance the vaccine gives you myocarditis, x=the chance COVID gives you myocarditis, y=the chance you get COVID if you're unvaccinated, and z=the chance you get COVID if you're vaccinated. The proper comparison is then between w and x*(y-z), not just between w and x.

Also, are you only counting the number of reported and confirmed vaccine-caused cases, but then comparing that to an estimate of the total number of COVID-caused cases?
You misspelled “radiative forcing” as “thermal load” but the analysis is correct. We did in fact shut down flights on 9/11 and that’s when we noticed the cooling. The tipping points are like, well, there are millions of them and they all interact with each other, thus computer models.

I feel unforced error is bit harsh too. Climate sustainability is a series of mostly hard problems, and aviation is one of the hard ones.
So what's your alternative? Firefox? What about their huge conflict of interest in getting nearly all their funding from Google? Seems worse if you ask me. At least Brave maintains independence.

People overestimate the importance of the Internet, and computer systems in general, for storing knowledge. Most of humanity's knowledge, and all of the critical knowledge, is stored in books. Many of those are printed on acid-free paper, which is well-known to survive centuries with essentially zero maintenance.

As long as people don't forget how to read, it's mostly a matter of repopulating the Earth and using libraries as a knowledge base. Even if the knowledge stored in the brains of all surviving humans was somehow wiped out, this should get us back to roughly the start of the 20th century in a relatively short time, and from that point on we can simply expect history to repeat itself (hopefully, without the "catastrophe" though).

Okay. Since you say I am underestimating according to your experience can you supply a, in your opinion, 68% confidence interval estimate for the cost or effort required to purchase or develop a zero click iOS exploit (i.e. give a general range for the median case).

Reasonable forms for a sufficiently quantified answer include, but are not limited to:

1. A numerical value to purchase from a broker.

2. A numerical value for the budget a competent organization (such as NSO) might allocate to a team to restock their hoard at a profitable return.

3. The number, skill, likely salary, and time/person-months a competent organization might allocate to restock their hoard at a profitable return.

4. The estimated return on a vulnerability. Giving an estimate of the expenditure bound to maintain profitability.

5. The estimated number of vulnerabilities NSO is finding per year given their budget.

6. The estimated number of vulnerabilities NSO has currently hoarded given their budget. Giving an estimate of the embodied expenditures to date.

7. The estimated amount of time for a NSO vulnerability to be burned allowing the estimation of required replenishment rate.

This is not an exhaustive list of reasonable quantifications, but I think at least something along these lines should provide an adequate quantification to demonstrate the degree to which I am underestimating the state of affairs.
In a net zero scenario, we should start to see improvement in a couple centuries. The ocean overturning time is roughly 500 years, and getting carbonic acid under the carbonate compensation depth can have a huge effect, dwarfing anything we do in the terrestrial biosphere like “planting trees”.
> What is worse, the constitution of Finland is currently interpreted by a former board member of Finnish Communist party, one Dr. Martin Scheisse. So everything goes, Soviet-Style mock lawsuits of MPs and China-Style vaccination passports.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever run into this level of perversion of the truth about Finnish politics anywhere (outside of Twitter).

I assume that by the degrading "Dr. Martin Scheisse" you are referring to Martin Scheinin[1], a professor on international law. While it seems like he does publish some opinions about constitutional law [2] and topics including COVID-19 [3] with a pro-lockdown stance, I don't think he has anything to do with the actual political body responsible for interpretating the Finnish constitution [4] - he's certainly not listed as a member.

The Perustuslakivaliokunta has actually taken quite a limited stance on COVID-19 things, e.g. blocking the proposed curfew measures in spring 2021, and the (currently on hold, presumably to be entirely scrapped or become optional) Finnish COVID-19 passport scheme is not on the strictest side of even EU standards (e.g. artists and staff working at the venues are excluded).

Not sure what exactly you're referring to with the soviet-style mock lawsuits, there have been many politically relevant lawsuits going on recently. But it does seem like you've picked up some delusions somewhere, and may want to refrain from spreading such false truths.

I just moved companies from a pure Prometheus stack to an Influx one. Kapacitor is needlessly complex and overkill for what most people need.

There are THREE different ways to query data: InfluxQL, Flux and TICKScripts…all inferior to PromQL imo. The worse is Influx encourages you to mix them (e.g. PromQL in TICK), causing even more confusion. Documentation on advanced use cases is non existent.

Been an absolute nightmare tbh. The new company had a similar evolution too: holding non-metrics data in influx while also holding metrics. Trying to at least move metrics onto a Prom/Thanos stack here soon.

That’s elitism and is actually an undemocratic ideal. The freedom of ideas is paramount in a Western democracy. And what I was trying to teach others is that the State’s monopoly on violence is what keeps the whole thing running smoothly. For example, the Magna Carta would have meant nothing if it was not backed by the armies of landowning noblemen.

My guess is some high-paying jobs that were called "Data Scientist" 3 years ago are now called "Data Engineer" and "Machine Learning Engineer", hence the average salary for jobs still called "Data Scientist" goes down a little.

I’ve been on the other end of this dynamic. It’s really incredible what you can accomplish by providing someone with a passing grade.
Starting from middle republic, the patrician class (1% if you will) started concentrating large tracts of land in their hands in gigantic latifundias. These started spamming the farm produce economy with cheap, slave-labor produced grain. That bankrupted small farmers and they sold out to patricians and went to cities (Rome etc) or became slaves or indentured servants in latifundias. That made decline of Rome accelerate geometrically. Much of the middle to late republic conflicts stem from that discontent with patricians and their rising power. Populares faction tried to set things right starting with Gracchi brothers, who tried to limit max wealth and redistribute excess land, however they got murdered by patricians. From then on there was no way to save Rome. Patricians won. Caesar represents the last but weak attempt by the populares to change some things. Which Caesar did even if he wasnt able to dare impose wealth caps or redistribute land. Even for that, he was killed by patricians too. Patricians won the ultimate victory while ensuring the fall of Rome. It wasnt 100 years before the privatized Roman army started getting undone by rising barbarians despite Rome's technological superiority. (which was waning too)

The reason for that military decline is simple - Rome's power always resided in its large population who believed in Roman society enough to fight and die for it. After patricians made Rome into an entirely slave based society after destroying the free Rome and what power free, working class Romans had in Roman society, and even going to the extent of privatizing the army to not pay for it in taxes, the manpower and logistical advantage of Rome was lost. Private armies paid by rich strongmen are incompatible with democracy (civil wars era, rich patricians vying for power with their privately-raised legions leading to triumvirate and ending with octavian), and the privately funded army of a hierarchical empire is prone to not preferring to die for the sake of their society and instead fighting for their pay and loot. So the rapid decline.

Rome went down crashing when it forfeited its people. It deserved its fall.

I have to wonder if maybe this is some kind of protectionism to prevent U.S. consumers from questioning the Chicken Tax and the "bigger is better" marketing of trucks.

From a safety and emissions standpoint, these trucks obviously aren't up to par. But it can't be worse than driving a motorcycle, which is usually 50-state legal even with little emissions or safety equipment. And just like motorcycles, these kei trucks pose little danger to other vehicles on the roadway, except perhaps for their low acceleration and top speed.

I wouldn't recommend NixOS on servers. It is unstable and extremely difficult to use. It breaks way too much. I could have done so much more with the time I used to try and make NixOS work for me. The cost of getting it to work is not worth its benefits to me.

When I wanted to set up NixOS, I wanted to use it to manage a bunch of NixOS virtual machines (so, nixops), and then run a couple of services. Here are a few points from my anecdotal experience:

1. Learn an entirely new language that has absolutely horrendous documentation. It used to be (I've been told it got better but I abandoned Nix before this) extremely difficult to debug as well, since oftentimes you would get an error in some library file when the error was obviously in your own file.

2. Try packaging your own stuff. Again, barely any documentation. One time, I wrote a simple Rails application in a day. It took me more than three days to figure out how to deploy it, and that involved just figuring it out. Rails adds a PID file to the directory with your Ruby code in it, but that directory in a Nix derivation (fancy [which makes it harder] name for something like package from my understanding) is immutable. Good luck packaging complicated projects that someone else hasn't packaged yet.

3. Nixops was so incredibly outdated that it caused my server to say it was using an "insecure" library from Python 2.7 and my auto updates started failing. On paper, nixops looked nice (manage NixOS virtual machines/VPSes with Nix). But it broke my updates. I eventually wrote my own replacement for Nixops, which worked, but I still don't trust the rest of NixOS to not break. The tool might have some merit on a different Linux distribution, though. (I'd also note that I believe that nixops fixed their insecurity bug, but there were a myriad of other issues I don't remember that I had with nixops)

4. Setting up pre-packaged services sounds easy. They were, somewhat. But permission errors were pervasive. SystemD tempfiles were finnicky at best and gave path traversal errors that were extremely hard to debug.

Eventually, I got a new server, installed Arch on it, and use docker-compose for everything. It takes me maybe 20 minutes to set up a new service on a good day, instead of four hours of Googling for some obscure error from NixOS. While not perfectly "reproducible," neither was NixOS, because I could simply not trust a virtual machine on nixops to boot successfully—there would always be more required even if it worked once.

I might be open to NixOS on a desktop, though.
Ironically there is a good chance your problem is also power supply related.

42U rack?? What do you have in it? I have a 2U self built SAN and a 2U Dell server. The SAN has 24TB on it and can scale up to 96TB. At most I'd need a backup of that and a replica of the other server for most ideal purposes at home (which are obscene for home use), so seriously what could you possibly need beyond a good virtualization server and lots of storage?

I understand, so we'll have that at least. But if we have a chance to optimize that process, why just rely on books, I feel like that won't be the most efficient way of distributing knowledge if we had to. Even if we can get up to the 20th century, why not get up to whatever we were at rather than having to redo some work.

I'm just saying that if we rely on book literatures, we're missing out on the most efficient and powerful source of knowledge, the internet.

I use Brave. I have the rewards enabled.

When you open a new tab, does it not show an ad for you as the wallpaper of the new tab? I thought that space would show an ad regardless of rewards are on or off.

The ads that I get that I know are because of rewards is the desktop notifications that it pushes, that you can click on. Only ever clicked on a couple of them at most I think, but still have them enabled because I think the idea of Brave rewards and BAT is interesting.

Also, I no longer remember but, when you install Brave it does ask whether you want to enable Brave rewards or not, didn’t it? In which case I think at least some people might be clicking yes without meaning to/understanding. But in my case it was intentional anyways.

I wouldn't call it a "lost art". Author says: "One of the skills I wish I'd learned earlier in my career is basic Linux server administration".

There are plenty of books around. And there are literally thousands of people worldwide practicing this "lost" art daily.

Starting from small corp up to the major cloud providers. (Someone has to support those computers, running the "serverless" things")

Find out why Ksh is faster than Bash.

It is truly exciting world, and the best news is that it "fits" as a glove the modern world of JS and async programming etc.

I wouldn't call it "lost" - it is just dozen of levels of abstractions down, efficient, boring and complex. But powerful and unforgiving to typos :-)

>"Yes, we can run generators ourselves. Does it make sense to do that? Not usually"

The minute gens/solar/wind/batteries combo becomes less expensive than public utility I'll switch. For now it makes no financial sense.

With the clouds it is the other way around. My dedicated servers running my software kick the shit out of AWS performance wise for a fraction of the price. And no I do not spend my days "managing" it. I can order new dedicated server and the same shell script will reinstall all prerequisites, restore data from backup and run it in few minutes add (however long it takes to import database from backup). Where needed I also have standby up to date servers.

Other than running this script to test restoration once a month my management overhead is zero.
