Because if you're unvaccinated you're much more likely to require hospitalization should you get Covid. The impact to others is the unvaccinated are consuming medical resources and causing burn-out amongst medical practitioners.
Anyone who has seen a total eclipse will be greatly moved by the event and if given the opportunity will repeat the experience at a subsequent eclipse.

I have had the fortunate experience of witnessing three solar eclipse and they rank among the most wonderful experiences of my life. There's little point in amplifying further as I don't have the adjectives and wherewithal to adequately describe them.

If you've ever seen a solar eclipse then you're automatically a member of an exclusive club whose rights of membership are having witnessed such an event. Whilst specifics are often mentioned, there's no need for members to discuss the enormity and magnificence of such events amongst themselves because each knows there's nothing they can add to complement the other's experience - each knows that to do so then words would fail them.

Wendy Carlos has been very privileged in having seen so many solar eclipses and her accounts here are a remarkable record of those experiences.

Among other things, the article you linked explicitly mentions that it does not solve one of the major problems with using Rc<T>, which is that it does not handle cycles.

It sounds like a more ergonomic system that has the same technical shortcomings.
Thanks for your detailed reply!

First off, looks like you're based in the UK, so I think it's quite a different situation than the US – from what I hear unless you can get into a FAANG, Engineer jobs at other tech companies pay peanuts, so contracting is very lucrative by comparison. In the US you can find plenty of pretty decent-paying tech jobs even outside of FAANG.

As far as taxes go, there are some savings, as with an S-Corp you can contribute way more to your retirement than as an employee, but you still have to pay taxes on your entire earnings whether you "take them out" or not, and have to do so quarterly (or at least annually for the portion you didn't pay yourself in "salary"), so sounds like that's another plus for the UK.

Taking all these factors into account plus the fact that the client doesn't have to pay your healthcare or provide equity/RSUs, and can easily let you go at any time, I think the average contractor rate in the US is actually low, which I'm not quite sure how to make sense of in terms of why the market's priced it this way.

Totally with you on the company culture+getting broad experiences part. Alot of company events etc esp for Engineers are pretty cringe. And politics... kill me now. I've also been trying to fulfill my socialization needs outside from my job, but more and more I'm realizing that in the modern world that's actually pretty difficult esp if you have a spouse, as then you need to spend extra time to get that, whereas she gets it from work, overall a pretty sad state of affairs that our society's evolved to be as such, IMO.

(In case it wasn't obvious, I too am working as a contractor now :) But still deciding how I feel about it)
I really, really want to use this -- but I urge you to put under a regular MIT or (A)GPL license. Something that's proper F/OSS, please!

As it stands, I can't incorporate Hibiki into any of my existing projects because of the non-free and incompatible license, and that really sucks.

Further, in a comment in this thread [0] you say that:

> You can download the script and host it yourself

But the license page [1] says that:

> You Cannot:

> Offer a hosted version of Hibiki HTML.

...which is something I'd be inherently doing by putting a copy of the script on my server, because of how the web works.

You license makes using your library and incorporating it into projects very confusing and complicated. I totally understand the intent behind it, but it... just makes everything messy.

Captchas are an alternative to pervasive tracking cookies.

Google could look at your web browsing history over the past 10 years and every search you've done and decide based on that that you aren't a bot.

But people don't like long term tracking like that, so instead they need extra info to figure out if you're a bit or not... Hence a captcha.
Workfree societies have existed so it is incorrect to claim that work is required for society to exist. For example, the free software community exists and is workfree. However, it seems you and many others are incapable to rationally reason about these issues since you implied that "people with this particular anti-work view" (i.e. me) just wants to be the ones doing the exploiting. It's plain as day that a massive number of jobs are not necessary. The conclusion should be that people shouldn't be coerced to do them.

This is going to be great news for new MediaTek chromebooks coming out in June with 2016 MacBook level cpu performance. rk3399 was just barely usable with a lightweight window manager. I may even pick up one of the 8192s in the meantime if a distro like arch linux arm starts supporting it.

The problem is that their average age moves up, and productivity decreases as people hit or near retirement. Unless China starts opening up to immigration (not impossible), they are going to be Japan without being rich yet.

> I rarely hear about the doom of Europe which has worse demographics.

Europe has immigration. China does not. If China is willing to embrace e.g. the African aspiring immigrants who have come to Guangzhou in recent years, things could change quickly, but I'm not really seeing. Japan did not, and that's why you can get a house for a reasonable price in Tokyo these days.

I'll accept that nobody is, but his mom was a math teacher. Few of us get that kind of leg up, certainly not 600m+.

Sure, he's got a brain like gasoline, but don't discount the spark and oxygen that allowed the genius to deflagrate. And don't just throw numbers around like that if you don't have proof. If you respect the mathematics, act like it.
"We previously showed that a smallish asteroid or comet can be broken up and rendered harmless using kinetic projectiles. Here we show that a larger (~10 km) comet can also be handled if we add nukes to the projectiles. Probably. It really depends on how well the energy from the nuclear explosions is transferred to the comet."
DNSSEC is security in the other direction( DNS server -> client ). All DNSSEC does is securely sign all the responses to DNS queries.

This just means that you are very fit. Just like athletes sometimes train on purpose with air restricting masks.

It's like saying "I can lift 200 pounds easily, so people complaining that they are struggling with that amount are mistaken".

The FFP3 euro standard (N99 equiv) mask I'm wearing is very noticeable to me and tiring if I walk fast for example.
This is a bizarrely specific conspiracy theory (and seems to be designed for maximum divide & conquer of voting populations) which I've never heard of. What exactly led to its inception? I always enjoy engaging with conspiracy theories, as they are a great training regimen for keeping one's mind sharp and empirically grounded, but I don't even know where to start with this one!

Has anyone here looked into the claim that both iconic works were inspired by ideas from the very same book, Bertrand Russell's 1931 classic "The Scientific Outlook"? Russell himself covers certain aspects of this in his "Prefatory note to the second edition" of Scientific Outlook, where he actually mentions the direct influence of this book upon both Brave new world and upon Burnham's "The Managerial Revolution", a book which contained projections of the future which, as Orwell scholars agree, both horrified and fascinated him and, in turn, turned out to be the inspiration for much of "1984".

Have you considered Nth order effects of this simple approach (the law of unintended consequences)?

> If you can’t do this minuscule thing to help society then society can’t be turned on its head to help you.

Have you considered that there might be some of this within the infinitely complex (and typically invisible, due to the nature of consciousness) causality behind why some people aren't getting vaccinated? Perhaps we are enjoying the bitter taste of unintended consequences as we speak.
Bizarre that this is news in the states when it’d be considered stingy across most of Europe.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with Xcode. Every time there's a new update I have to go through a rigmarole to get back my customised keyboard shortcuts. I don't have loads of them, and they're normally standard in other editors (control-w for select word, control-shift-K for delete current line, super-shift-d for duplicate current line etc). But every time there's a new update for Xcode they get borked for me. In the old days the customisation file was kept outside the .app in application support or something, but then at some point they moved it inside so any "update" overwrites the changes I've made (there are actually no updates, only full downloads of a ~10GB application for the smallest change).

It's very bizarre and contrary to the ethos of macOS applications that's existed for decades I believe.
As a non-expert outsider, I thought that was the promise of React since the early days? Isn't there already server side rendering?

What you describe, a PHP style server rendering of mostly static HTML, with small bits of JavaScript for interactivity, sounds great. But will that actually be possible?

I'm really really sick of web apps and mobile apps that flash the "no content here" version of widgets while they wait for data to be loaded. It's the very very worst sort of user experience.

I think of it like "listen to an expert in X talk about why they love X" instead of "learn the basics of X". It's sort of more like an interview than a lecture.
> That's true, neutron bombardment and nuclear fission probably produce a lot of short-lived isotopes, which are much hotter than the U235 or U238 that we mined out of the earth. But after the short-lived isotopes decay, we are left with less hot, but longer life isotopes. Would it be more safe to distribute those widely instead of concentrating them? Anyway, I don't have enough knowledge to make an informed judgement on that particular topic, so I will try to keep an open mind.

The thing that's particularly annoying is you don't want to get groundwater leeching stuff, and you need to keep cooling fans running for sure so that the fuel doesn't get hot and smoke. After that, it's a pretty boring pile of heavy metal waste.

> These are industries which tend to privatize the profits and socialize the costs,

Note that fairly generous costs for disposal have been collected from the whole industry. There's just a question of how we actually spend them to dispose stuff.
Right. Women of color are merely an overlooked, but totally acceptable casualty. Business as usual.
Any chance the entire thing can be offloaded to a task queue (Celery/etc)? This would decouple the HTTP request processing from the actual ML task.

The memory errors you're seeing could suggest that you may not actually be able to run multiple instances of the model, and even if you could it may not actually give you more performance than processing sequentially.

Seems like ultimately your current design can't gracefully handle too many concurrent requests, legitimate or malicious - this is a problem I recommend you address regardless of whether you manage to ban the malicious users.
No because that would be defamatory (I assume).

Indeed I am using a shorthand her to summarize the issues as well.

My response is meant to highlight the fact that the situation is not nearly as “simple” as a government that runs fiscal deficits.

I don’t know every detail about Argentina, but broad strokes, when you have a failing political class that is unable to effectively levy taxes and maintain international credit worthiness, you are going to have financial trouble.

In the sense that a conspiracy theorist or a crank gets tired of people not believing them, yes, I guess they are annoyed. I just little empathy for them: I want this pandemic to be over, and they are getting in the way of that. Barring that, I hope that they can take responsibility for their choices without forcing the consequences on everyone else.
Continuing as-is will mean the nearly full ICU beds will fill up and the already overwhelmed and too-short supply of medical professionals will dry up as they seek other careers. Every doctor I know who hasn't quit is in or approaching a burnout.

The curve of deaths from omicron in the US is already above delta's peak in much less time. Do you imagine this will just pass by without completely overwhelming the health care system? It's too late to do anything for this strain, but I don't want to gamble on it being the last or worst.
I think some on here (that are just saying my Amiga or TRS-80 can already do that) may be missing the greater point even though they're not necessarily wrong.

I don't think the author is just talking about the computer, but kick-starting an entirely new movement from like-minded folks.

1.) This would of course need to include a pretty simple computer that has parts which could be replaced for decades. I'm thinking about something as potentially simple as a C64, but without all of the video chip stuff. Maybe closer to Ben Eater's computer, but a step up.

2.) This will need the right amount of peripherals. At minimum I think you'd need to be able to interact with an SD card, keyboard, e-ink display, battery, and the internet. I'm sure you may need something else as well. SD card isn't a requirement though. Maybe something else that is simpler, but still functional could work?

3.) This will need the right amount of software. Obviously Linux is out as an OS unless it is massively stripped down. If the hardware is as restrictive as a C64 or worse, then you'd have to do something very simple that is hardly an OS. I think a Forth layer over the hardware would be perfect. It would have some basic functionality as well as some applications like a very simple text editor, BBS, some kind of way to do text only web pages (not a web guy, so no clue if this would work), and maybe perform simple calculations. The original iOS from the Rebol guy (Carl Sassenrath, not Apple) had this interesting concept of sharing code over the internet. The core would be incredibly simple, but people could always add on whatever they wanted.

I'll add that I often think about getting to use a computer like this for everything not work related. There are some interesting ideas out there showing what computers could have been.

Its not meant to be a perfect analogy but to ellucidate why it may be more stressful than you might imagine. But in the spirit of good discussion: Lets compare someone who has 7 years of experience at Facebook, 500k in the bank, and strong interviewing skills with an inbox full of recruiter spam to someone interviewing for Facebook, who has no other interviews, and is currently poor and in debt.

>socialist fascist leftist communist

It's not that weird. "Socialist", " communist", and "leftist" all describe political affiliation, while "fascist" is variously pejorative or a scare word deriving from "fasces", Latin for, roughly, " bundle of sticks", a political motif that was widespread and long-lasting (see the US mercury dime).

All that to say that "fascist" mostly lacks descriptive power except in its association with totalitarianism, which in turn is consistent with communism.

Are the hospitals collapsing because of aids patients or so many people getting heart attacks? If so then maybe we should start using carrots/sticks to limit peoples risky behavior or make them absorb more of the cost.

If that space defined “trans women” as only those who have completed both facial feminization surgery (with AI evaluation of their face bones) and required that they have completed vaginoplasty or vulvoplasty so that their genitals are sexed female, then no, it would be just as discriminatory to trans women as the app under discussion here is being to all women.

If this imaginary trans women space accepted all serious forms of presurgical or partial-surgical proof, such as a doctor’s letter or a hormone prescription or an orchiectomy or etc, then that would not be discriminatory and would be fine.

The core issue here is that this app is trying to enforce gender as purely a function of physical characteristics, denying altogether that gender is more complicated than that and is not guaranteed to be linked to any physical characteristics whatsoever. Their ”women only” definitions fail the transgender women test, the intersex test, and the “born female-sex athletes with high testosterone and masculine facial features” test.

Either they are blithely unaware of these complications, or they are unconcerned with them. That is, itself, newsworthy.

You're right master access to S3 should never be on your servers. Permission to deleting object versions from your backup bucket should be reserved for the highest level of trust in your organization. These permissions shouldn't be accessible via a key sitting around on a computer, but should only be accessible to a person logging in with MFA.

With such access only accessible to a person with MFA, it should be pretty hard to accidentally leak the secret (MFA-authenticated sessions have tokens that are time-limited). If even those AWS permissions are compromised, yes, you could lose your backups, but I hope you don't use S3 as your sole backup storage.

I keep backups on both a local backup server and also in S3. If my AWS credentials are compromised, there should be no access to the local server. If someone accesses my local server, the access it has won't allow deleting S3 backups.

Since my backups are encrypted, the attacker would have to also have the key to the backups to read the content.
Go look up the definitions of these words and then read what Closi wrote again.
> Vaccines do not stop transmission of Covid nor do they stop you from getting Covid.

They don't stop it, but they do decrease your chances of acquiring it and they do reduce the viral load you shed.

> They merely decrease your chances of getting severe Covid or dying from Covid.

So they prevent you from taking up a hospital bed, exposing the people who have to care for you to COVID and preventing other non-COVID emergencies from being tended to. That seems to impact others to me.
