What's really interesting about TMobiles plan is(was) that they would zero rate any video service that allowed them to set the steam to 480p. I don't know if small players ever made it through the process, but that universal option may have been legally required to avoid that same question.
I'm not aware of any great data on myopericarditis for very young people, and not as many have been vaccinated, so I extrapolate from older age groups:

Of 3 482 295 individuals vaccinated with BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech), 48 developed myocarditis or myopericarditis within 28 days from the vaccination date compared with unvaccinated individuals (adjusted hazard ratio 1.34 (95% confidence interval 0.90 to 2.00); absolute rate 1.4 per 100 000 vaccinated individuals within 28 days of vaccination (95% confidence interval 1.0 to 1.8)).
-https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj-2021-068665

Among more than 2.5 million vaccinated HCO members who were 16 years of age or older, 54 cases met the criteria for myocarditis. The estimated incidence per 100,000 persons who had received at least one dose of vaccine was 2.13 cases (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.56 to 2.70). The highest incidence of myocarditis (10.69 cases per 100,000 persons; 95% CI, 6.93 to 14.46) was reported in male patients between the ages of 16 and 29 years. A total of 76% of cases of myocarditis were described as mild and 22% as intermediate; 1 case was associated with cardiogenic shock. After a median follow-up of 83 days after the onset of myocarditis, 1 patient had been readmitted to the hospital, and 1 had died of an unknown cause after discharge.
-https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2110737

So vaccine-related myopericarditis looks rare and mild. Effectively, and possibly literally, no one dies as a result. I actually ended up with a probable case after my second dose, but it was extremely mild (no functional impairment, just periodic discomfort for some months). I suspect most cases are something similar- not fun, but not spooky. I'm not a doctor nor do I have any relevant specialty, but I'm reasonably sure that reducing incidence of MIS-C or other rare severe outcomes of covid is a net win in younger people.

>20 - 30 year estimated wait.

From the Congressional research service's report on immigration backlog [1], for applicants from India, the projected backlogs for various employment-based green card applications applying in 2020 are:

EB-1: 8 years.

EB-2: 195 years.

EB-3: 27 years.

Projecting out to 2030, the report says (for Indian applicants):

EB-1: 18 years.

EB-2: 436 years.

EB-3: 48 years.

"20-30 years" has been wishful thinking for Indian applicants for a long time now.

[1]. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46291

EDIT: I was bored, so I performed a linear extrapolation using the 2020 and 2030 estimates. Two points and a straight line through them gives:

eb-1 eb-2 eb-3
2024 12 292 36
2023 11 268 34
2022 10 244 32

2016 4 99 19
2015 3 75 17
2014 2 51 15
2013 1 27 13

All numbers in years. The numbers are rounded up to the next highest integer. Note that a straight line through these two points isn't necessarily the correct model but whatever.

They have a large propane generator to provide supplemental power when the 400A service isn't enough, such generators typically do not have advanced pollution control / carbon capture devices attached. This, combined with the design of the building, is evidence their care doesn't extend to action in this instance.
The whole “if you don’t like it don’t buy it” argument is pretty weak on a lot of the tech giants. Thank whoever failed to secure third-party cookies, it’s not great.

But Apple seems to be pretty squarely in the: “don’t buy it if you don’t like it” vertex.

I use Apple stuff because the cost/benefit is something I can live with.

But most of my friends and colleagues never touch the stuff: it’s desktop Linux connecting to server Linux. Usually Android phones but some people get Pine or old Nokias or whatever.

Is Apple running some Internet-wide cookie scam that I’m unaware of?

That split bill thing is how it works here in Norway. The nettleie (infra part) is regulated like a utility, because it’s a monopoly in the area serviced, but the actual electricity is fully free market, because you can choose whoever you like to actually provide the electricity.

Actually though, now that I’ve typed this out, the nettleie is charged per kWh drawn (as well as peak demand), and I’m not sure how that changes if you have solar panels. Maybe another Norwegian can comment. In any case, splitting the infra and production makes sense to me, and definitely can be done.
Eventually, that demographic will age out so to speak, and then what. What are the numbers of new younger subscribers? This is why newspapers are folding/selling.
Hi everyone, I've been working on this game for a while now and I've been trying to gather an "audience" for it. I'm considering releasing an alpha so I can get some input from people.

Please feel free to tell me what you think about it
This. Being an addict to "x" often depends on what relationship the average citizen is expected to have with "x". In a deeply religious society, reading and analyzing religious texts for hours every day may be seen as an average activity, while in a non religious society you may be seen as a lunatic. In most if not all societies, people are expected to work full time, but workaholism treatment centers are not particularly popular.

If it can't replicate as well in you, you significantly reduce the ability for it to spread via you typically. Herd immunity fro that perspective is about reducing spread to the point that outbreaks don't spread from local groups because the R value is low enough, even taking into account the few people who can't be immunized.

"A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors."

We generally don't put reminders like that on things, partly because we don't want to be nannies, partly because it's hard to know where to stop with such measures, and partly because of laziness. Or inertia, to be more polite.
I don't think they're competing against each other. TikTok is competing against youtube, which are both competing against traditional network television such as nick or disney. Fb and Instagram's lack of growth has little to do with the success of the other, they just missed their opportunity to move in the more curated video space.
I paid for this game despite it being in alpha, tried it with friends, it's not fun, and it doesn't really work. Losing progress is infuriating. Thankfully we were able to a get a full refund and back to Rust I go. It's kind of amazing to see what Facepunch is able to do with a 30 person crew considering it now sits as a steam top 5 concurrent users up there with CS:GO and DOTA2.
Instead of discussing whether Star Citizen is a scam, let's imagine what Star Citizen might have been like if it were a scam. Pretend you're a scammer. You're going to run a Kickstarter scam. You describe a huge video game that has a bunch of features everyone wants. You hope to rake in a few tens of thousands of dollars, but somehow it succeeds beyond your wildest expectations, and now you've got more money than you've ever seen in your life. So, what do you do if you're running a scam? Well, first you start using some of the money to raise even more money. Start offering a bunch of extras, solid gold spaceships shaped like dragons or whatever. Don't worry about game balance. Then use some of the money to develop an actual game demo. Don't worry about bugs, priority #1 is cool pictures that will enable you to raise more money. Keep spending more money on marketing. Keep reaching out for more rounds of investments. Do keep working on tech demos because you're now in the business of raising money. You're not at all opposed to actually making a game, and if you happen to finish making something, that'd be great, since you can sell it for even more money, but you've already achieved all of your goals. As things start to slow down, you announce another game and repeat the whole process.

Now, that's quite likely not what happened, but from the outside, the symptoms look the same. Here's what I imagine is most likely version:

I've got experience making space games. I want to make another space game. I take a guess at how much it might cost to make (say, $23 million and two years), but I'm not actually any good at estimating cost and development time. I'm in way over my head, but I've got a LOT more money than I've ever had to manage before, so at least I can hire a lot of people. The people I pick aren't any better at this than I am, or I'm not listening to their advice. We're two years out from launch. No Man's Sky comes and goes and the reaction to the release is existentially terrifying to me. Gotta keep adding stuff! Oh god we're running out of money somehow, gotta get more money so we can finish this. Hire more people! Oh god our staff is up to 600 and people think we're a scam just because we haven't released a game yet. Put the whole development calendar online, we're working hard here, please please make this work. We're two years out from launch. Oh god how are we out of money again. Raise more money, hire more people! The early graphics look stale now, gotta refresh them. We've been two years out from launch for almost a decade. I'm still confident that the game will be out in two years, but I'm smart enough to recognize that I've been confident about this for six years and that fact fills me with dread.
By "very slowly" you mean double the capacity per kg in the last decade at a tenth of the cost? Because that is more or less what happened in the last decade.

If you don't believe me, the Nissan Leaf originally had 21KWH of capacity when it launched in 2010. The smallest variant of the latest model has 41 KWH. You can also get a 60KWH version. And you can actually install new batteries into an original Leaf and double the range while slightly lowering the weight. And of course those batteries are now a fraction of the cost that they were in 2010. Back then replacing the battery would have cost tens of thousands of dollars. People are getting that done for around 5K now for a battery that is literally twice the capacity.

The discarded batteries typically end up being part of some grid storage solution.

Another doubling in the coming decade is likely. As is further reductions in price per KWH. Maybe not 10x. But probably more than 2-3x.

It's profitable now to buy expensive storage solutions for grid providers. Ten years from now that will be a lot more attractive.
> One explanation is that environmentally selected genes (meta genes?) that promote mutation of de novo genes in regions of the genome under environmental pressure.

This has been studied. They’re DNA repair pathways. Put a bunch of E. coli in a bioreactor and trace the lineages. As soon as one lineage loses a DNA repair pathway, new mutations explode and out-compete the old lineages (and each other).

Besides cancer and viability concerns, highly stable DNA is mainly beneficial in cyclical conditions (as adaptive memory). In the stable—but highly competitive—environment of a bioreactor, sacrificing DNA stability for adaptive pace is a very beneficial mutation.
No, because the calls to "defund the police" were not acted on.

To be fair, Zend and CodeIgniter had to juggle operating between PHP4/5 at the same time. The object model in PHP4 was mostly incomplete and just syntactic sugar. It also did some oddball things like flip-flop pass-by-value/reference.
I think that's fair - this reads heavily like someone that thinks throwing hardware at the problem is all it takes. The marketing materials are guarantees. That kind of thing.

They even quoted direct AMD statements that would indicate the memory access pattern isn't uniform. They glossed over it when they saw numbers.

I used the term 'forget' in one of my posts, but it's not a true representation - NUMA isn't the kind of thing you forget when you're actually doing HPC. It's the bread and butter.

I thought a big part of the tragedy of the measles vaccine rates dropping is precisely that we’re losing herd immunity.

At 95%+ immunised outbreaks ought not occur because herd immunity, even for the remaining unvaccinated, whereas at the lower levels, outbreaks will likely happen.

Is that not right?
It's true. More often than not, the body cams corroborate the officer's side of the story.

> Interesting to note that the VCs are bailing out the retail users here, instead of the usual flow where taxpayers are on the hook for bailing out too-big-to-fail WallStreet banks.

If you're referring to the 2008 bail-outs, those weren't grants, they were loans and investments. To date, beneficiaries have repaid more than the initial amount netting the government (and hence the people) a significant profit. $109B to date. And the expectation of significantly more to come. Talk about a good investment. [1]

Fannie and Freddie alone received $191B and have paid $301B in dividends so far - and all the principal remains outstanding.

I love sci-fi. Star Citizen has potential. But when I tried to play it half year ago, it was extremely boring. It's like life simulator in space. That is not the reason why I usually play games. I expect story with good point. There is none of that.
On the contrary, yours is a befuddlingly charitable explanation. Why on earth would an advertisement company like google, a joint-stock company, be "trying to serve the users' needs"??

This is along the lines of what I was thinking initially but more by reacting to the instantaneous current induced in the coil rather than a charge/discharge action.

Basically a small version of the ring launcher - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V690VphqTwg

Where the ring launcher works by counter emf that evolves in the conductor, a tuned emf (like for RFID chips) could be made with specific properties. Eg. it might only respond to certain frequency bands and possibly (?) allow for both repulsive and attractive forces by either maintaining or inverting the exciter phase in the board.
> Person's actions influenced by their circumstances

This is a pretty reductive viewpoint, since literally any article or project could be seen in the same light.

* Of course you released a popular jazz album, you had parents who loved jazz and had an instrument at home.

* Of course you work in journalism, you lived in a city that took great pride in its news institutions.

* Of course you like programming, you had access to a computer and free time in your childhood.

* Of course you run a book review site, you had access to functional library systems growing up.

* Of course you are interested in politics, you were able to volunteer at local election campaigns.

Like, if someone is building an expensive home, you would obviously expect that their life experience has been such that they are able to build an expensive home. Likewise, if someone does anything, then obviously their life experience has been such that they are able to do that thing.

This is a cool writeup of a cool project, and reducing it to the fact that these people have been fortunate can come off as pretty smug.

In case anyone else thinks that's crazy, I bought 40 acres in the Ozarks with a (manufactured) home, a shop, a 52x14 storage building, and a few other outbuildings. The land was mostly wooded, with a few acres in use for a garden.

If someone is willing to keep it going after the governments of the world no longer are, why not? If there's more than one, an auction sounds reasonable.
I don't see why "fear" is necessary. Power has never been a constant. When I was a kid we had a box of candles under the sink and warm blankets stacked in the garage, and some emergency food/water to last a week. Now that I'm an adult, I still have the same. I don't understand this trust and expectation of flawless infrastructure, where "fear" would come into play. Inconvenience, sure. You should be able to easily remove the fear aspect, with minimal preparation.
I have yet to see a downside of this bill that isn’t solved by deleting or not installing offending apps.
As I said, the US is not the only place that's discussing or implementing mandates, and other places are less flexible in how they're applying them.

Secondly, the very notion that you can have an expectation of not getting infected from someone else is intrinsically untenable. Just try to define what characteristics a pathogen must have before vaccines are mandatory. Why set the bar at COVID's fatality rate, why not the flu? Why not the common cold? Is fatality rate really the right metric? What about number of post infection complications?

Furthermore, what if we say the COVID rate is the cutoff, what if you have comorbidities that increase your chances of death, does that increase the obligation of your workmates to get vaccinated or is that your problem? I think you know which way the rhetoric is going, but these answers are far from obvious.
If you ask a lifeguard what they fear, they'll say drowning.

Cops are not objective sources of reality, neither is anyone else. More than a few grains of salt need to be taken when cops say stuff because they're steeped in a very different life than the average citizen.
Cool. Congrats/kudos on shipping it, I'd be willing to check it out again in a subsequent iteration.
>Trying to argue its not a monopoly is engaging in the worst type of pointless semantic argument.

So, you think this bill is a waste of time, then?

If Apple has a monopoly, no legislation is needed as we already have laws to address it. Epic's lawsuit failed specifically because they couldn't prove Apple was a monopoly. This legislation's existence is specifically predicated on that there could be issues that might be worth addressing outside of monopolies.

There were multiple stages of bailouts, including Federal Reserve asset purchases which directly transferred resources from dollar holders to for-profit shareholders and bondholders.
