> To be fair the Moderna vaccine has been shown to have the highest efficacy

Pfizer-BioNTech: 30µg doses, 21 days apart.

Moderna: 100µg doses, 28 days apart.

It seems probable that Moderna has higher efficacy because the dose is larger, or because the doses are given with a longer time interval, or both. And not that the Moderna vaccine is any kind of biochemically superior.

If you were to give Pfizer-BioNTech in 100µg doses, 28 days apart, maybe it would be just as effective as Moderna?
The article says it's a ten-year lifespan. Which seems reasonable since ideally, if it's a thousand cycles and a thousand miles per cycle, that's a million mile battery.
> your brain isn't somehow genetically better than others' brains.

You're going to have to elaborate on that, because AFAIK humanity has not solved intelligence to the point that we can say it is entirely nurture. That makes it reasonable to assume that it is part nature, which means that yes. It is genetically better than others' brains. And there's nothing wrong with that.
The comment about recycling the aramid fibres from bulletproof vests amuses me. Bulletproof vests seem several orders of magnitude rarer around where I live than electric cars. Doesn't really make me want to move to Michigan...
True, but improvement on what? There's, let's say, doubling capacity (without doubling mass), doubling performance (discharge, without fire hazard), doubling how long it can hold a charge (without doubling thermals), doubling longevity (without doubling down on hazard materials)... Just of top of my head. Chemistry is hard, looks like it. What's the average doubling of any of these factors we've seen over the years? 10-20 years?

Yes-data granularity, structure, architecture, and systems. Having worked with many customers in the difficult-to-define "magical" space (as a commenter put it earlier) of using Excel and it's successors (Smartsheet, etc.) to solve problems without realizing it's a kind of code, understanding how the data flows and forms can be leveraged.

Both Smartsheet and Excel are offering a kind of "insight" or ideas feature which attempts to provide a foothold on this data wrangling aspect of an organization's data flow.

To another poster's point, yes, sometimes the insights gleaned are ignored or misapplied for various reasons.

To me, this is the challenge of the digital revolution: getting enough humans to properly interpret and use the data that is staring them in the face, day after day. Coding may not strictly be necessary. Communication skills surely are.

One main obstacle for their cloud business in general and specifically Azure is that the latest GDPR rulings in Europe basically says that it is illegal for European companies to use Azure (or AWS or GCP) if you store any personal information. This may be a hindrance for both MS and Amazon for the next 1-2 years.

Why aren't insurance companies enforcing the equivalent of UL listing for human factor engineering in cars?

Cars will not be self-driving for a number of years, so trying to evolve the UX/UI before that happens is setting up for disasters.

I guess it will take what all safety laws do, people have accidents and getting injured or dying because of the flaws. And inevitable lawsuits and more intense regulation than would have applied in the first place.

> competition works well

It works with a healthy support by regulators. I'd back that claim with the amount of cartel like behavior that gets disclosed every so often, and how hard the different nations are trying to come with solutions to the MS/Meta/Google/Amazon/Apple problems.

"Vote with your wallet" is the part that happens after the competition is alive and kicking, up to that point a lot needs to be done to have competition in the first place.

> driving stick

Auto transmission was seen as a luxury for a long time and a lot of EU country favor frugality. Now that hybrids and full EVs are seen as more eco-friendly the change will get a lot faster I think.

Stick shifts will probably stay the norm for many decades more in rural Aftica for instance, but otherwise I don't think it's long for the more developped world.
> I'm usually a defender of the single screen on the Model 3/Y

Slightly off-topic, but out of curiosity: what is your typical defense here? I've seen a lot of people complain about it (and their arguments make sense to me), but I haven't seen anyone defending it. Yet.
It depends on the specific opinion. I don't think there's anything wrong with people not being allowed to express the opinion that minority groups should be systematically exterminated.

My bad. You are correct. I misspoke. What I meant to say that at times generics (and similar drugs, but not generics) won't work as well as the original drug. Not always, but sometimes they just aren't effective in certain circumstances. The doctor may know this, but can't immediately prescribe what is effective in the name of "saving money"

Kevlar is used for lots of things. Did they change the link to remove a statement about vests or did you read into the statement about kevlar?
Maybe the use of the word “cancel” can mislead some people, because the term means a much more controlled way of shutdown in other ecosystems. For example, you can’t really stop Tasks in C# unless you explicitly pass around a CancellationToken and check it at strategic points — very similar to the one in Tokio: https://docs.rs/tokio-util/latest/tokio_util/sync/struct.Can...

What dropping futures does in Rust is much more forceful, and possibly meant for a different usecase, or as a lower-level primitive.

> Not because they take it from us.

When you have a monopoly on violence (because you effectively own the government), you have a disproportionately large say about who gets what.

The idea that somehow you can have a revolution when the other side has machineguns and all you have is a beer gut and maybe a double-barrel shotgun is naive at best.
Isn't the simple solution to just not engage with comments on social media? Honestly, that's where the problem is aka trolls and partisan bots. Have face to face conversations between scientists and skilled interviewers, the scientist supplies the answers and the interviewer generates the questions and keeps the conversation moving along and interesting for the viewer. Publish the content on social media since that is really the only thing it is good for but don't read the comments. We have specialists in this area already, they're called journalists. All they need to do is make a phone call, set up the interview and record it.
This is getting downvoted quite a lot. I don't understand why. There are lots of legitimate uses for a text-based browser, from quickly looking something up on an SSH session to trying to script something. Servers are often placed behind an SSO wall and Microsoft's authentication regime means that you can't, for example, curl server/data without passing a token coming from a graphical browser and a whole world of pain. This is explicitly a design decision from Microsoft: you need to support javascript to use their SSO login.
I agree with your point, however I am not an expert in locks and therefore didn't want to make a recommendation.
ineffective is not binary - it depends on your endpoint, which is subjective.

If your endpoint is to not catch covid and someone ineffectively wears their mask such that they would not have caught covid if they wore it correctly - then the mask was ineffective even if statistically they _maybe_ had lower chances of catching covid than without wearing a mask at all.

and I say maybe very strongly here...we do not understand transmissible diseases nearly as well as many would like to think - there are plenty of observable datapoints that correlate mask usage with increased transmission...my gut feeling would be to explain those away with confounding variables, but my gut feeling is not science and no substitute for a testable understanding of the problem and solution
Ha, it's a metamorphosis.

It's not such a problem right now thanks to the supply chain crunch, but there are a lot of us sitting on the sidelines waiting for EVs to achieve better mileage before making the move. Our family has only one car, and it needs to be able to do not just the daily commute (for which I acknowledge at least 90% of the kilometers on this car will be used), but also the road trips. I rented a Model 3 LR to test out how realistic these trips are in Europe, driving 1,200km to Austria for a ski trip.

1. The stated range goes down the toilet at motorway speeds. Expected range plummeted from 500km to 300km. Actual range was more like 250km, probably thanks to the cold temperatures. This was a *50%* reduction.

2. We had to plan the trip carefully around chargers. There were 10 minute detours to find chargers, traffic jams at the chargers, and slow charging speeds (probably due to said cold). We tried to charge from about 10% to 80%, but this was taking more than an hour, and shifted to 10% to 60%, which was around 40 mins. Each stop averaged 1+ hour, including the detour, waiting, and charging.

3. There were no chargers at the lodge, and this meant a final charge before ascending the mounting to near 100% to ensure that despite the extreme cold we could make it all the way up and back down. We also wanted to ensure we had extra power in case we got stuck on the road and had heat. This final stop was another hour.

All up, the EV added more than *eight hours* to our round trip. Some of this time might have been spent on toilet breaks and eating anyway, but nowhere near *eight hours.* Bear in mind this was all on a near new Tesla with a near new battery and presumably the fasted possible charge rate and some of the best range available in an EV right now. This is just a huge fail for road trips, and I'm so glad I rented one to find this out before buying.

I'm hopeful battery technology like this makes it into production ASAP. There is so much R&D pouring into batteries right now.
I have a proposal to make things easier: why don't you and your friends give us a list of people allowed to talk about ivermectine, or mRNA, or Israel/Palestine, so we can more easily put them all on one channel that will give us the Truth and make it easier to protect us from all of the other articles, podcasts, etc ? I've seen some regimes do that and it works much better.

Isn't it time to move on from Freudian language and stop using a word that has so many different meanings in the modern sense?

If we translated things today for the first time we would never translate these ideas to the word 'ego'. I am pretty sure this is just a relic of the times of original translation and Freud's popularity at the time.

I just remember being young and thinking the idea was to quite your personality or destroy your personality. That is such a translation error and distortion of the message. A philosophical problem caused by highly imprecise language.
It was claimed that there exist RCTs that demonstrate boosters providing "robust protection against Delta and Omikron variants". Where are they, then?

These boosters are administered to teenagers, who are also at the highest risk for Myocarditis. What makes you so confident that the imputed benefit of a booster outweighs the risk? Where is the data?

If you want to administer boosters to everyone based on speculation and weak observational data, go right ahead. Just don't act as if you have "the science" backing you up.
Why? Saying that the strength of gravity is proportional to the distance between two objects is misinformation.

You’d better tell the city of New Orleans that.
It could be a nice quick sanity check, in the sense that if they've completely lied or you've completely misunderstood how to use the program, you won't get the same results. So it could tell you that you shouldn't even bother trying to replicate their claims. But there's a risk that people might mistake re-running the code for reproducing the findings of the paper.

The paper is entered into the scientific record, not the code, which will inevitably become obsolete (old language, old frameworks, implementation details tied to old hardware or operating systems, maybe some source code will be lost, github will go out of business). If the code is necessary, then crucial details have been left out of the paper, so it is not reproducible (although there are some journals that let you submit code as an artifact).

Pseudocode is better, IMO.
Ah yes. So you cannot censor me saying the keyword to declare a read-only variable in C++ is `final`

If this also entails a 5x improvement in weight, let's see if that potentially enables hand luggable car batteries.

- Nissan Leaf 62 kWh battery: 410 kg= 6.61 kg/kWh

- order of magnitude for this type of battery: 1.32 kg/kWh

- power consumption: @15 kWh/100 km

- 100 km requires 15 kWh, or ~19.80 kg

If something like this in order of magnitude comes true, hand luggable batteries will be able to cover non-trivial distances. Some potential consequences:

- I imagine something like this could help enable a low-end, more maintainable second hand market in a not-so-distance future.

- For inhabitants of terraced town houses, this could enable them to charge their batteries at home too. Hand luggable batteries could simplify _a lot_ in terms of charging infrastructure.

- Exceptionally far trip? Throw in a few extra modules.
GNU cat is on the naughty list, supporting --help but not -h. less is the same (and is not part of GNU).

edit Looks like the GNU echo, sort, and uniq programs are the same. GNU has an official policy endorsing --help but not -h. [0]

Also related: --version should print the version numbers (and perhaps build details) of the software, and immediately terminate.

-v lacks the (at least somewhat) universal meaning of -h, though. Some commands, such as curl, use -v as shorthand for --verbose rather than --version, but all commands should support --version.

I believe Java HotSpot used to use -version, supporting neither -v nor --version. Now it supports both --version and -version, but not -v.

> very few people choose to use Microsoft products willingly

My gut feeling is that, for PERSONAL use, the US has shifted to favor Apple products, over something running Windows. Even in my backwater neck of the woods, I'd say that Apple vs Microsoft is running at least 2 to 1. For 25 years, Gartner ran the same report saying that Microsoft "owned" the computing device landscape. Now their schtick is that Android rules the world. Fine. But what I want to see is the operating system market share data, by country, with the corporate purchases factored OUT. It doesn't seem that hard, but, naturally, that data is NOWHERE to be found online. If Gartner is actually using real numbers, then this would be "internal polling" data which I'm sure they consider their trade secret. If it were possible to get the data for the US, for personal use only, I think it would show that Apple is doing even better than most trade analysts begrudgingly give them credit for. With the demise of most Microsoft stores, and the way Microsoft is cannibalizing trust with the direct commercialization of Windows on factory-installed machines, I don't see how Windows on personal devices can be the "thing" it has been traditionally considered.
Reading this, I am reminded of a quote by Edsger W. Dijkstra from 1975 [1]:

> * What are best practices to manage private and public keys as well as all these usernames/password for the web ui's?

Keys: you should encrypt your private key with a passphrase. Following one key pair per device account (see other comments) there is not much other management needed. If you get tired of supplying the key passphrase look at using an "SSH agent".

Passwords: use a password manager. If your Excel file is encrypted it is perhaps a passable ersatz.

* How keep a good overview over all git credentials?

GitHub account settings page lists what you have uploaded. On each device, the key pair is in two files under .ssh/ in your home directory for OpenSSH.

* Can I store SSH keys in my Excel-File?

Yes, just be wary of Excel corrupting the string. However, rarely do you as a human interact with either key information so I do not see the point, other than perhaps as some kind of backup mechanism. I simply leave the SSH key files in place where they were generated by ssh-keygen and used by ssh and/or ssh-agent.

* How many SSH keys would you recommended for my scenario?

As said in the other comments, I also recommend one key pair per device account with each device account's public key added to each of the relevant GitHub (etc) account. If a particular device account will not access a given remote account, no reason to upload that public key.

If SSH is used for other types of access the keys can be shared or there can be reasons to have service-specific keys.
The lies people tell to the distrustful and cynical don’t matter much. When you take the time to evaluate things from first principles, someone saying something misleading around you just isn’t that impactful.

Institutions being wrong and misleading is something that is immensely harmful because of trust.

Most of the CDC guidance has been verifiably insane from the start of COVID — often from the CDCs own advice before the pandemic.

A perfect task for your Tesla humanoid robot.
99% of commutes are less than 200 miles. Current car batteries support large numbers of charge cycles and have a capacity that's high enough for these trips.

However, many drivers do a bunch of 500+ miles drives per year; 1, 10, or 100, depends on the driver.

At 500+ miles, battery anxiety starts to kick in.

An electric car that combines current high-cycles-low-range batteries with a smaller low-cycle-very-large-range battery for those 10 500+ miles trips per year would be a killer product. We are talking here 1000+ miles without charging, which is kind of much farther than what most cars can get without re-fueling.

I do maybe one 500+ miles trip per month. That'd be ~24 cycles / year, such that these batteries would have a lifetime for my use of ~40+ years. That's more than enough for me.

There are a bunch of companies working on hybrid battery designs that combine different technologies to serve different purposes. Some of them are already hitting 800+ miles in real-world tests.
Then there's other ethical developers. This is a company with a deeply scummy past, who did everything to throttle competition when they had the upper hand.

They might be trying to change their image lately, still a hotbed of scumbags who learned from the best.

Shame no one picked up on the sarcasm.
An alternate line of thought - do we need Electric vehicles to do all that? If we could reliably transition mass of passenger transport and daily commute options to electricity, that alone could crack the deal. We needn't eliminate fossil fuel driven systems completely. It can still have some use cases, which on a planet scale could be made viable through a select oil extraction infrastructure across the globe. A scaled down fossil fuel economy with electric replacing mass of private and commercial vehicle use looks like the most likely scenario for the future, imho.

It's hard to say what "most people" will do.

My wife plugs her phone in every night as a matter of habit --- just to be sure, whether it really needs charging or not. I know from experience that this degrades the battery lifetime.
As, surprisingly, did so many other databases and operating systems. VAX/VMS was "FIELD/SERVICE" on all new systems for many years.Then all these systems got connected to DECNet/BITNET, etc and all heck broke loose. No real excuse for anybody to have ever configured their systems this way.
