Well, personal experience trump's this kind of argument. I've had two shots and a booster and have yet to catch Delta, Omicron, and it's sub-variant now. I happily go to venues and restaurants knowing I have a certain window to execute that freedom within the confines of science and that when the time comes to require a booster to give me another 6 months or so until a pan-coronavirus vaccine is validated, to be able to live my life more normally than unvaccinated people who have a higher chance of catching it and getting a worse outcome, I will choose the vaccine. Some will argue that they fear nothing and that is their choice. I would rather take any advantage that I can have scientifically to prolong my chances or make it hard for this virus to overcome me. If I can give an opinion that both protects me for a period of time and helps others to not be overcome by the completely unregulated healthcare industry of this country and the exorbitant amount of money they extort from people based on their opinions then I will continue to scream fromt he rooftops in spite of the short sightedness of the arguments against.
In many of these cases, it is a literal ban.

That is exactly what this article is about. Legislators are making it a criminal offense for teachers to teach certain books.

From the article:

> "Such challenges have long been a staple of school board meetings, but it isn’t just their frequency that has changed, according to educators, librarians and free-speech advocates — it is also the tactics behind them and the venues where they play out. Conservative groups in particular, fueled by social media, are now pushing the challenges into statehouses, law enforcement and political races."
This is a misconception that a few hundred of devs in a city can do this.

What drives the price of real state up is lack of new developments, low interest rates, and instutional investors using the housing market as a security instrument. The same thing can happen all over the world and is happening in the US and Canada at an alarming rate.
Very old article, but $5K from Musk is couch change. It's an insult. Get serious or GTFO.
There are some sites for remote work that allows you to select countries and regions (like WeWorkRemotely), for Brazil some GitHubs that Brazilian look, like (https://github.com/DyegoCosta/trabalhando-remoto#empregos) that are in Portuguese, might have for other countries as well.

Most people that I know of are hired through companies that does long term staff augmentation or permanent contract work. I am one of those folks, I left my job at a Brazilian startup a month ago and now work as an Engineering Manager at https://rightbalance.io/.

Disclaimer: among other things, I am doing the hiring of senior people in LATAM for US companies, if you are in LATAM, and wants to apply, the interview will be with me and I always give feedback at the end of interview.
3 of the 4 of the key vaccines were manufactured by US companies - Pfizer, Moderna and J&J.

You realize a part of Warp Speed was the coordination of manufacturers and the FDA?

So while Pfizer accepted no funding, it benefited from the streamlined regulatory process.
The immune system has had longer to develop than we, as humans, have been aware of the existence of viruses or bacteria. I think you're taking the complexity of these systems for granted

BioNTech did receive significant funding from the German government, however.

I think it's a very easily defensible belief that the Trump admin did an absolutely terrible job at nearly every turn when it came to the covid response. In the case of Operation Warp Speed they were brought a fully-baked idea and approved it. That was a good call. They also undercut medical experts, pushed unproven and dangerous treatment ideas, downplayed the danger even when they knew better and killed Herman Cain.

Re: the weight of a water bottle, rotating weight is very different than static weight.

My experience with 28-32mm sizes tires on pavement in an urban environment has been that tires with tread on them actually have much less overall grip and cornering ability. This seems to correlate with data I've seen from third parties measuring the actual square mm area of a typical "contact patch" between tire and pavement. It seems counter intuitive, because on a car you want and need tires that aren't bald. But on a city/road bike, the best possible performance on pavement in the size range of 23-32mm with seems to be gained by having a treadless tire with a grippy compound.
It is very sad. I've moved to Japan recently and a lot of the arcades either have shut down or now have way more 'commercial' games that are essentially gambling and those gundam like games. I'm sure they are fun but they aren't "real" arcade games to me :(
Bed capacity isn't towing
I personally know two people who left Ph.D. programs because of fraud from their professors/departments in research. I think a lot of it stems from working out an experiment or theory for years and finding something that invalidates it. They then cover it up or embellish data to keep funding and not lose all the work time.
What do you mean by success here? Depending on your definition, I think there are times where the answer is yes. There are clear analogs to the trolley problem in public policy every day.

That makes me incredibly optimistic. Thanks for sharing that. :-)
Why on Earth would you pass plaintext punctuation characters through to the ciphertext?
A few years back, I wanted to see what you could do if you really used modern C++ with the COM principles. This is what I came up with:

https://github.com/jbandela/cppcomponents

* There is no code generation or IDL files

* Components implement IUnknown

* You can have Constructors and static functions for C++ classes.

* You can take std::vector, std::string, std::tuple as parameters and return them (even if you are using different compilers and standard libraries)

* Cross-platform
Or put an electrical generator and a small fuel tank in the trailer -- like a train.
Why would one need to send to non-existent address? Any transaction can include data, one can donate for example.
>The people in charge were given evidence, face much less risk, and it's their job to put a stop to it.

That is an awfully authoritative statement to make based off what OP shared.

But either way, this has been proven time and time again whether we are talking about simple corruption like OP mentioned or more serious forms of injustice. People will judge themselves based off motivations and others based off actions. We can excuse ourselves because of the personal inconvenience that acting will cause us. But other people don't get that luxury. They get criticized purely based off that lack of action because if we were in their situation surely we would do the right thing. Being honest about this is important step to actually fixing the system because we need to identify the motivations which lead to the lack of action in order to remove them and encourage action. Simply vilifying people for not acting accomplishes nothing.
This nails it. The nominal sizes are mostly (for some insane reason) based on the outside diameter of the wheel and tire. 27" road tires would have a 30mm tire size, whereas 27.5" mountain bike tires are probably running close to 60mm these days (haven't been keeping track of what's in vogue).

ETRTO is based on the bead seat diameter, which is what matters when you're buying a tire.
You can pay them as independent contractors. They have to sign a W-8 BEN and you can make payments via Wise. If you see that you are hiring a relatively large team from the same country, then at some point you can open a local subsidiary (cost center) and employ them via the local entity. The way to do this has been the same - most US companies became open to this after 2020.
More like "why you should be aware of all the hidden side-effects if you do".
Sorry nobody gives a fuck that our global military dick swinging prevented Senegal and Guatemala from sailing into New York harbor and carting off our treasures.

The outrage economy tends to focus on people and interpersonal drama. Some comedian said this, or maybe some company did something stupid and there’s a walkout.

If anything there’s a massive shortage of outrage. Given the degree of misery the entrenched elite is inflicting on the masses, the fact that we don’t have a general strike or torch wielding mobs swarming over the gates of billionaire’s houses is frankly astonishing.
Presumably you don't now have a single vehicle for all purposes on your farm? So why do you think this single vehicle would fit all purposes?
To say "the juice is not worth the squeeze" may make sense in some contexts.

Bed weight isn't remotely close to the same weight range as towing capacity- rather than engine strength, the limiting factor is suspension.

Driving while towing will take the same amount of extra power, whether you have a gas engine or electric motor. Higher load on the motor = less range. I think cutting the range in half would be pretty surprising (in a good way).
Ahhh he’s one of the Yes Men, that’s great, I had no idea.

There's a spectrum. Subculture-specific slang changes quickly, but most words have a longer lifetime; reading Chaucer today is difficult but doable. Given that we don't encode words but only letters, for English you have to go back to the disappearance of þ to get a change that's relevant to text encoding. Emoji shift faster and are less effective at conveying meaning than any "real" language.
Isn't that an economic problem rather than a scientific one?

Science doesn't exist in a vacuum, it still needs humans to do grunt work and those humans need to be paid, and there isn't much money in replicating an existing study and saying "yep, that's what we thought".

Highest annualized rate, aka if they are operating at peak efficiency then it's the highest production plant. Fremont is still outpacing Shanghai in terms of volume total.

Your original comment that GM pumped out more EVs than Tesla in China is obvious since Tesla has just begun their production volume out of Shanghai with any scale, so not sure the point you were trying to make. With Berlin coming online soon too, Tesla is going to have a much bigger footprint in the EU/Asia combined.
Not to mention the "publish or perish" ethos that has become such an integral part of promotion & retention policy (and grants) in so many academic institutions.
You need to start small to learn the basics and really engage. High paying and impactful comes with experience, networking. Remote is only common in the last few years so that varies.
This is where I’d like to go. Manually logging into each bank and downloading CSVs every month is just too much of a burden.

I have email notifications for all transactions and a maildir on my dev machine. I just need to write some code to make it all happen.
Thank you very much for writing this, very helpful explanation indeed! Probably more so than a traditional right-left abstraction.

I'd be very interested to explore this framework further. Could you recommend something to read that could inspire similar conclusions? Or, if this is a completely original thought, I shall await for the book to be published, hopefully soon :)
I'd add that even if it received funding through private enterprise, it would still be infused with the politics of said backers - whether intentionally or not.

The best you could possibly achieve is funding purely through small time (non business) donations from the public - and I'm still a little skeptical as to the scope of research that could realistically fund.
It didn't actually take an expert to see that Daszak's paper in The Lancet was making claims that weren't backed up. Basic logical and scientific thinking with a little background knowledge were more than enough to raise serious doubts as to his bias.

Intelligent people who questioned Daszak's paper got memory-holed. Their posts were removed, had their reach limited, were placed under warning banners, etc, simply for raising the mere possibility of lab leak origin.

I could give many more examples of "subject matter experts" giving us ample cause to throw them in prison, never mind distrusting them - WMD lies, false flag attacks, staged incidents, etc.

All reported and repeated with zero gorm. No accountability. Dissenters get smeared, fined, jailed. Protestors get blocked off, boxed in, ignored, mocked, minimized. Rare politicians speaking truth get marginalized, smeared, mocked, ignored, cheated. Threatened.

Seeing this get worse and worse for decades, how can you seriously argue that our distrust is the problem? Distrust is more than justified, it's demanded. Anything else is ostrich shit.
You don't understand what is for the benefit of society then. In the case of western societies it's clear that they only ones benefiting from the anti-vax opinion is the healthcare industry. What do you gain from rejecting something that can elongate your immunity and also elongate against the schance that some for profit industry (western healthcare) will take advantage of you when you don't have the ability to object where the outcome of objection is death.

(Not the person this is in response to, but relevant to my interests/lifestyle as well)

My current truck is a '97 F350, Crew Cab/Long Bed, 4x4, 7.3 diesel, with few enough miles that it ought to last the rest of my life. It's a truck, not a daily driver - I'll occasionally make an empty trip with it due to bad weather conditions keeping me off other options if the car (Chevy Volt, dirt cheap to run) is in use by someone else in the house, but mostly it's for hauling. I'm picking up a couple tons of solar panels tomorrow to redistribute locally on a flatbed, I run lumber with it, tow a car trailer with an antique car in it, etc.

I'll start with the worst: The Cybertruck. It seems like the sort of cartoonish vehicle designed by a Silicon Valley firm who thinks that trucks are things you drive from your suburban home to your SV office, wearing shiny cowboy boots and a hat that's never seen real sun. From my point of view, it's a truck that is almost entirely pointless as a truck. The bed is weird enough shaped that you're unlikely to be able to get a ladder rack or anything on it, you can't put a work back on it (service trucks and such would be a great use for electrics, they tend to be short on miles and long on overnight charging, and can run all sorts of great tools while on site without any range issues), and the tow rating of 14k is cute, but pointless without the ability to put a gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch in the bed - I wouldn't tow 14k on a receiver any distance, and none of the people I know with big trailers that can get up to 14k have anything but a 5th wheel or gooseneck. Having that sort of tongue weight (you'd want about 2k lbs on the tongue for that trailer weight) behind the rear axle is just a bad idea when you can get it on or slightly in front of the rear axle. Plus, far easier to twist around into tight spaces. I've seen guys with gooseneck rigs do some crazy stuff getting a trailer into somewhere tight.

The Rivian looks more like an offroading lifestyle truck, which it will probably be decent at, but has no overlap with my interests (I'd take an old Jeep into the mountains if I was doing anything serious), so I'm not too familiar with it. It's probably going to be decent, but I'd never consider a first run, low volume product from a startup, so of no interest to me.

The F150? Ford knows how to make trucks, and has good experience with other electrics. It's not an F350 class truck, but it's likely to be a very, very good "half ton" type truck. The various inverter output options are really useful as well.

It bugs me that nobody is making a PHEV type F250 class service truck. That would be amazing for a huge number of use cases, and businesses are very TCO-sensitive, so if it's cheaper than a gas or diesel, they'll line up to buy it.
Perhaps the most important lesson here is: HAVE A UX DESIGNER. The world is full of people who will fight very hard for bad designs. Make no mistake, you UX WILL be designed, and you can either have a professional do it, or one of the thousands of people who chimed in to defend Tesla's perfectly-bad interface here.
Depending on the platform, easy enough to bypass lockout. The traditional way to lock out old consoles is to require you to include some material with a Nintendo copyright or trademark on the cartridge. That way, Nintendo can sue unlicensed game developers for copyright or trademark infringement. Various systems of this kind have been bypassed without the use of infringing material.

The lockout circuit on the NES, for example, can be bypassed by sending it a negative voltage spike. You can put the circutry on your cartridge.
The Russian and China vaccines were NOT as effective. And the Russian vaccines had lot to lot variability that was pretty worrisome.
A lot of institutes are also pressuring their PIs to not only produce novel work but also highly translatable and patentable work. I know of some institutes that want to preview any work a PI wants to publish or speak about in a public venue, in case any of it can be patented. Keep in mind that most of these places are funded through government grants and tax payers but none of the money from these patents is ever funneled back to them.
The law defines what a contractor is vs employee. However it can be ambiguous in some cases, especially modern “gig employee” work. Existing boxes don’t fit well. We need new law for this class of worker that wants freedom to choose hours, platforms (like a contractor) but has employer set rates and tasks (like an employee) where there are certain protections beyond a 1099 but also allow these businesses to work, as well as the workers having freedom.
> It is commonplace for many doctors to proscribe drugs more plentifully than candy. This had a name once.

Please don't perpetuate the tired old trope of "back in the day they didn't prescribe so much!!!". The reason doctors are prescribing "more" is that they have multiple decades of research to build on, and the associated available drugs. Not because of some vague conspiracy theory-esque "they just want us to be docile zombies". Modern medicine has helped so many people, myself included.
Lizard scale patterns described with antiferromagnetic model
As I've gained years and felt like things keep getting stranger and stranger, I've come to wonder about this type of immortality, but I don't deliberately test it myself.

"From your own perspective, you will never die." Something will always happen so that your awareness continues but from others' point of view, you may have perished. This splitting is when you can no longer meet those others because your paths have separated. Hopefully in the splitting, that reorients you with a different set of others that you can now meet, otherwise it seems like a lonely trajectory.

> I don't think we should be worried about censorship of misinformation.

My parents coming from a communist nation (Yugoslavia) I strongly disagree with this. Who determines what is truth and what is misinformation? One of the major arguments communists used to oppress speech was to prevent panic and the spread of misinformation. (Misinformation being anything that wasn't pro-communist)

Imagine that the worst and most corrupt people you can think of are now in charge of controlling truth and misinformation. That is why the freedom of speech is a fundamental human right - no one should have that kind of power. I agree that we need better fundamental education and critical thinking, but not less rights and more power for large entities.
I personally think the majority of the outrage economy is counter productive. It is important to identify and communicate areas for improvement, but I think most of the solutions generated from the state of outrage are off target. I think emotional outrage is a natural response to some of the injustice in the world, but rarely helpful in actually solving a problem.
After your previous reply I lost interest in spending any time backing anything in this particular dialogue.
There’s a major distinction between misinformation and disinformation.

Disseminating DISinformation should be considered fraud, provided it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the purveyors knew the information was false. Otherwise, any provably-false thing is misinformation.
I'm not arguing that primary school shouldn't teach a bunch of random things, just that I think cursive is at least as useful to learn as most of them. Having it in the curriculum doesn't mean less time for foundational material for later years.
Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna both trialed a Delta-targeted booster, but realistically a third dose of the existing vaccine was fairly effective against Delta, and the trials were overtaken by events.

Omicron-targeting boosters are currently being trialed, and might see the light of day if Omicron hangs around for a bit.

If the next Big Variant had been closely related to Delta (as might have not unreasonably been expected), the Delta-targeting booster might have been a bigger deal; as it is, Omicron is quite different. If whatever comes next happens to be Delta-related, the Delta-targeting boosters will presumably be revived.
Yes, you can make correcting entries but you cannot correct an entry. One must preserve the audit trail. Plain text seems vulnerable to this...
Matt (parent) is a Tesla employee. It's strange how you weren't aware of your employer's largest factory existing upthread, but think its production numbers are also "obvious" to everyone.
I devoured all and any news around Maxis and Sim games as a kid, from Happy Puppy and the like. I don’t think I ever made a connection at that point in time that it was possible to be part of the action, however dire the situation was in reality.
> You can run out of gas just as easily in the wilderness

Not really. You can count on a gas pump existing within some distance of a sparse population. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find an outdoor "public" power outlet when you need one.
